Euroklav 23 VS+: Reliable and Compact Class S Sterilizer for Medical Practices
The Euroklav 23 VS+ by Melag is a high-quality, compact, and efficient steam sterilizer designed for medical practices that require an economical yet reliable sterilization solution. Built specifically for the needs of doctors and dentists, the Euroklav 23 VS+ is ideal for those who work with unwrapped or wrapped instruments and textiles. Classified as a "Class S" sterilizer, this device is engineered to deliver safe and thorough sterilization cycles using modern technology.
Equipped with four different "Class S" programs, the Euroklav 23 VS+ offers flexibility in choosing the appropriate cycle for various types of instruments. Whether you need to sterilize unwrapped or wrapped instruments, textiles, or medical tools, this sterilizer provides tailored solutions. The steam sterilization process is highly effective, as it can achieve temperatures of up to 134°C (273.2°F) and operate at a lower temperature of 121°C (249.8°F) for heat-sensitive items. The sterilization cycles are adjustable, offering quick 15-minute cycles for unwrapped instruments and longer 25-minute or 40-minute programs for more complex needs.
The Euroklav 23 VS+ is equipped with a robust and efficient vacuum pump that ensures optimal sterilization by removing air from the chamber before sterilization and enabling efficient post-drying of instruments. The pre-vacuum phase guarantees that air pockets are eliminated, ensuring full exposure to steam for thorough sterilization, while the post-vacuum phase guarantees that instruments are properly dried after the cycle is complete.
Compact and front-loading, the Euroklav 23 VS+ is designed to fit seamlessly into a variety of medical and dental settings. Its 23-liter capacity makes it suitable for practices that need to sterilize medium-sized batches of instruments. Despite its compact size, it boasts a durable and solid construction, ensuring long-term reliability. The chamber dimensions are large enough to accommodate a wide variety of instrument trays, yet the device remains compact enough to save valuable counter space.
The modern electronic control system of the Euroklav 23 VS+ simplifies operation. This intuitive system allows users to program different sterilization cycles based on their needs, ensuring convenience and safety. The device also features integrated documentation options, including network compatibility, MELAtrace software, and connectivity with MELAprint 42/44 log printers, offering efficient batch documentation and traceability. The ability to use a compact flash card further enhances the ease of data management.
The Euroklav 23 VS+ can be manually filled with water via an internal storage tank or connected to an external water treatment system, such as MELAdem 40/47, for automatic filling. This flexibility ensures that the device can be adapted to different practice environments. The maximum water consumption per program cycle is approximately 700 ml, and the water quality requirements are stringent, with only distilled or demineralized water complying with EN 13060 Appendix C specifications.
Safety is a key focus in the design of the Euroklav 23 VS+. It operates on a standard 220-240V power supply with a 16A fuse and 30 mA RCD protection. The device is designed to be energy-efficient, maintaining an ambient operating temperature range between 5-40°C, with an ideal range of 16-26°C. Humidity should not exceed 80% at temperatures up to 31°C, with a linear decrease in humidity allowance as temperatures rise. The device's robust design ensures longevity, and the accompanying accessories allow for seamless integration into various setups.
