A Bowie & Dick test serves as proof of the steam penetration of porous materials such as textiles. Simply enter the test package in the large steam sterilizer and start the corresponding Bowie & Dick test program. The Bowie & Dick test provides proof of fast and equal steam penetration into the test package. Please perform the Bowie & Dick test daily and additionally the vacuum test monthly.
An additional batch control can be performed on critical B instruments using a MELAcontrol Helix test body. Our MELAcontrol Helix system enables you to perform safe and reliable checks of the sterilization process even in complex hollow body articles. The colour change of the indicator strips makes for verifiable documentation of the batch approval performed on the XXL colour touch-display, thereby obviating the need for storage of the Helix test body indicator strips in a paper archive.
The supply of the large steam sterilizer with demineralized water can be performed using an external water treatment unit such as the MELAdem 56 reverse osmosis unit from MELAG. Irrespective of your choice of water treatment unit, MELAG Cliniclave 45 series devices are one of the few large steam sterilizers available on the market which comply with the requirements placed on the protection of the drinking water supply by EN1717.
