Please follow the manufacturer‘s recommendations The new MELAstore Tray for ophthalmology The MELAstore Tray Ophthalmology consists of an upper and a lower basket for an optimum hygiene workflow for your complex cataract sets: The upper basket of the wash tray with flexibly positionable silicone bars is used to securely hold both rigid and articulated instruments. The lower basket is equipped with an injector rail and versatile connections to ensure reliable cleaning and disinfection of your hollow-body instruments. All important information on configuring and loading the MELAstore Tray Ophthalmology can be found in the following product guide: Luer adapter male and female made of plastic Tailored hoses Hose connections with external thread made of stainless steel The MELAstore Tray is supplied with all the components required for loading and adapting standard cataract surgery sets. If additional silicone bars are required, this item can be reordered under the number ME82970 (pack of 2). The injector rail installed in the wash tray has 6 hollow body connections. If fewer connections are required (e.g. when using disposable irrigation cannulas), the excess outlets must be closed with screw plugs (Order no. ME80140). Now connect the hollow body instruments in the wash tray and lay the phaco cable loosely, taking the bending radius into account, using the holders on the bottom edge of the tray. Do not wrap the cable around the injector rail! Please ensure that the silicone bars (blue and/or white) are configured in such a way that the instruments are fixed with as few contact points as possible. The connector plug of the phaco handpiece should point downwards so that no water collects in it. If specified by the manufacturer, the connection should be closed with an appropriate cap. The silicone bars are usually cut to size as required. It is best to use sharp scissors or a cutter for this. First insert the holders into the grid with one side of the feet and then push the other side of the feet through the openings. To configure the hose connections for the phaco handpiece and the suction and irrigation handles, the thinner hose supplied is cut to size in accordance with the illustration in step 4. A total of four cut-to-size hoses are required: One end of the tubing is fitted with the stainless steel hose connection, the other end with male and female plastic luer adapters. The stainless steel hose connection is connected to the injector rail in the wash tray, the plastic adapters to the instruments. The injector rail of the MELAstore Tray Ophthalmology is usually configured as follows: Phaco handpiece (with tube and 1x Luer male, 1x Luer Lock female), suction and irrigation handpieces (with tube and 1x Luer male, 1x Luer Lock female), irrigation cannula (Luer Lock male directly on the injector rail), irrigation insert for phaco needle (Luer Lock male directly on the injector rail). If connections are not used, they must be closed with the screw plug (Order no. ME80140). If they are only temporarily unused, corresponding caps (Order no. ME80170 for male Luer Lock, Order no. ME80180 for female Luer Lock) are available.

Hose connection with female thread and Luer Lock adapter Thicker hose Hose connection with external thread Connect the thicker hose to the outside of the injector rail of the tray. This hose will later be connected to the injector rail of the MELAtherm. The thicker hoses will not be shortened. Insert the adapter with hose connection into both ends of the hose and screw a male Luer Lock adapter into the hose connection with internal thread. For rigid and articulated instruments, the blue bars should ideally be placed lengthwise in the upper basket without the injector rail so that the instruments...
