Chapter 5 – Logging

Documentation of batch results

Batch documentation is essential as evidence of successful completion of the sterilization process and is a
mandatory component of quality assurance (MPBetriebV, German Medical Device Operators Ordinance).
Data such as program type, batch, and the process parameters for programs that have run are
automatically saved in the internal log memory of the autoclave.
For batch documentation you can read the internal log memory and transfer the data to various output
media. This can be as soon as a program is finished or subsequently, e.g., at the end of the working day.
Capacity of the internal log memory
The internal memory is sufficient to store 40 logs.
If the internal log memory is full, when the next program starts the oldest log is automatically overwritten.
If you have connected a log printer and the option Immediate output "No" is set (see also page 26,
Immediate automatic output of logs), before overwriting the saved logs, a confirmation prompt is displayed.
For more information about connecting the printer, please read the operating instructions for the particular
printer.
Output media
You can print out and appropriately archive the logs for programs that have run using the following output
media. Follow the operating instructions for the particular device.
 NITRAprint log printer
 NITRAflash CF card printer onto CF card
 Computer, e.g., using the MELAtrace/MELAview 3 software
There is no option set for output of the logs in the factory settings.
Using the computer as an output medium (no network connection)

You can connect a computer to the autoclave if the following conditions are satisfied:

The computer has a serial interface or a USB serial adapter is connected.
NOTE
To connect to the (clinic) network, the MELAtrace/MELAview software is needed.
To use a computer as the output medium, the computer must be connected to the autoclave via the serial
interface. To read the logs you can use the MELAtrace/MELAview software.
To register the computer on the autoclave, you must make the following setting once on the autoclave:
Switch the autoclave on.
