Batch documentation
See also „Process documentation“.
Video tutorial
The batch documentation serves as proof of the successful conclusion of the program and represents an
obligatory part of quality assurance. The device internal log memory saves such data as the program type,
batch and process parameters of all the programs completed.
To obtain the batch documentation, you can output the internal log memory and transfer its data to various
output media. This can be performed immediately at the end of every program or at a later point, such as
at the end of the day.
Capacity of the internal log memory
The steam sterilizer is equipped with an internal log memory. This saves all the data regarding the sterili-
zation program automatically. The capacity of the internal log memory is sufficient for c. 100 logs. If the in-
ternal log memory becomes almost full and at least one log has not been outputted via an activated output
medium, the following warning
Internal log memory is almost full
will appear on the display. If
this warning appears, working in the
Settings
menu >
Logging
provide the pre-determined output me-
dia and output the logs affected (
Log output
menu).
Shortly afterwards, the following message is displayed:
Internal log memory full
. You now have
the last chance to archive logs which have not been outputted (confirm query with
YES
) before the data in
the steam sterilizer log memory (up to the last 40 logs) is automatically deleted.
Output media
You are able to output and archive the logs of the completed programs on the following output media:
▪ MELAflash CF card
▪ Label print-out with the MELAprint 60 label printer
▪ MELAprint 42/44 log printer
▪ A computer (via the practice network)
Any combination of the output media is possible. Log output on multiply activated media is performed suc-
cessively. In its delivery state, the MELAflash CF card is activated as the output medium for text and
graphic logs from the steam sterilizer. Automatic logging (= Immediate output) is thus activated.
Using the CF card as an output medium
NOTICE
Premature removal of the CF card from the card slot or its inappropriate handling can
result in data loss, damage to the CF card, the device and/or its software.
n
Never push the CF card in the slot with force.
n
Never remove the CF card from the slot whilst it is being written or read. The square in the
upper right-hand corner of the display lights up during reading and writing access.
The card slot for the CF card is located on the right-hand side of the display housing.
