I may be purchasing a Melag 23VS in the not too distant future, however the size is a bit of an issue and the 29VS is not too much cheaper.
The feet supposedly can sit on a 60cm bench top. THis is the width of our benchtop, but I was just wanting to confirm from those of you that have one, that the distance from the back of the machine to the front feet is 60cm. Not 60cm between feet (as the wall will prevent this size from fitting)
Will check. Bear in mind, the air filter sticks out the back a bit. It is the thing that hits the wall first. So its the distance from that to the front feet.
a 600 becnfh is ok from memory. BUT beware the bench with a rolled front. I have seen at least 1 unit come to grief when the front feet slipped over a curved edge on a narrow bench & the 'tip' point is only a couple of inches behind the front feet due to weight distribution.............. Expensive thing to have hit the floor face first...
The easiest thing to do is to get a metal plate about 3mm thick & the width of the sterilizer + about 20 cm f-back & screw it to the front 100mm of the bench. Otherwise a complete section of 750 benchtop & sit it on top of the existing. PS For Melag service in Melb, try Select MEdical (speak to a guy called Sean) they will do the setup & initial validation & as auth. agents, your wty is safe. Melag is good gear, but a new one has a couple of specific things that must be setup correctly..........

I have a technogaz sold in Australia as the Delta RT45 which has continually broken down, costing thousands of dollars and now has a cracked chamber for which I was quoted $3,000 to fix!
I think that it's time to upgrade to a Melag too!
Owners of Techno-gaz units should do a class action against them. You dont know how many of these there have been................. Usually the crack just opens a little, & steam leak is controlled, but there was one in WA that literally blew the door (I have photos from a guy over there) . If you own one, make sure that the welds on the door hinges are checked EVERY service !

We have a few Mocom Exacta steralisers in our clinic which are fanatstic.
Just a quick hint for you. If you have had these for a while, make sure you use an authorised tech to service & get them to fit the 'new' (last year or so) software. It makes them control temp much better & not get so hot in drying. (Less crispy bags & no melted plastics). Only the 'real' service guys get acess to this stuff though 7 it does involve a cost. On the plus side, there is less stress on heater elements & other parts.....

Hi there , here in the frozen UK, We are waiting for the department of health to advise us on the correct way to go about steriliser procedure. If I was buying a new machine I would buy a vaccum modle with printer.
