Dear doctor:

Thank you very much for the trust you have demonstrated by purchasing this unit.

More than 55 years ago, MELAG began as a medium-sized family-run enterprise to specialise in the
manufacture of sterilization equipment for medical practices. In the meantime our company has grown
into one of the world's leading producers of sterilization equipment. Verification of it success has been
the sale of more than 400,000 MELAG units worldwide, attesting to the high quality of our sterilizers,
which are exclusively made in Germany.

Please read this Operating Manual before you start operation of the CF Card Printer.
The instructions contain important information and safety precautions.
