Dear Doctor:
Thank you very much for the trust which you have shown by purchasing this autoclave.
For 55 years now, MELAG — a medium-sized family-owned and -operated business —
has specialised in the production of sterilization equipment for medical practice. During
this period, MELAG has succeeded in becoming a leading manufacturer of sterilization
equipment. More than 400,000 MELAG units sold throughout the world testify to the ex-
ceptional quality of our products — which are manufactured exclusively in Germany.
As all other MELAG products, this autoclave was manufactured and tested according to
strict quality criteria. Before placing this unit into operation, please carefully read this
User Manual. The long-term functional effectiveness and the preservation of the value of
your autoclave will primarily depend on careful preparation of instruments before steriliza-
tion, and on proper care of the unit.
The staff and management of MELAG
