Prevention (Kommission für Krankenhaushygiene und Infektionsprävention
- KRINKO) on the hygiene recommendations when preparing medical prod-
ucts (Anforderungen an die Hygiene bei der Aufbereitung von Medizinpro-
dukten).
Contact MMM customer service for further information on the inspection

and validation of sterilization processes.
1.2.3.2 Routine inspections
The ongoing effectiveness of the processes must be verified by routine

checks during the entire service life of the machines.
These include, for example, periodic inspections such as performing the

Bowie-Dick test and the vacuum test, planned maintenance activities
including checking the measurement and control technology, regular cali-
bration and adjustment of the measurement chain, and revalidation without
a specific reason.
As a rule, revalidation, i.e. repeating the performance validation, is

performed annually.
18 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Safety
In the case of changes which affect the process, e.g. changes to pack-
aging, introduction of new, design-critical instruments or after maintenance
activities, it is essential to perform a revalidation for a specific reason. The
content of the inspections depends on the change.
National regulations (in Germany: DIN EN ISO 17665 T1 P. 12 and

KRINKO recommendations) must be observed.
1.2.4 Operation of pressure equipment
The sterilizer is a pressure vessel designed in accordance with AD2000

regulations and DIN EN 13445. Its operation is regulated by European and
national legal regulations.
Data on the classification of the pressure vessel can be found on the pres-
sure vessel drawing or the test report according to Annex I of the Pressure
Equipment Directive.
Before commissioning a test of the status of the machine checking

assembly, installation, set-up conditions and safe function must be
conducted. The technical safety functions have already been tested during
factory testing, which means that the operator is not required to run new
tests after installation.
During operation the machine is subject to regular inspections, which are

required after a specific period or after the machine has reached a specified
number of cycles.
The operator must define the test programme before commissioning

based on a technical risk assessment and manufacturer's information
( Chapter 7.6, "Periodic inspections of pressure vessels").
Contact your national regulatory authority, which is responsible for

conducting the inspections.

24 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Safety
1.5 Machine safety devices

The machine is equipped with multiple safety devices, that allow immediate
program abort in case of danger.
If a power failure occurs, the machine is safe.
1.5.1 Safety strip
The self-closing chamber doors are fitted with a safety strip that stops door
movement as soon as the door encounters an obstacle (e.g. if an object or
a person is in the way of the door). The door is then opened again.
1.5.2 Automatic program cancellation
In the event of a fault that prevents the program sequence from completely
correctly, the control system cancels the program, e.g. faults with the
messages Pressure transducer controls defective or Motor protection
switch vacuum pump.
The process is regarded as incorrect.
The material to be sterilized must be regarded as unsterile.

Danger
On machines with two doors, only the door on the loading side can be
opened.
1.5.3 Program cancellation button
The program cancellation button is visible on the touch screen as soon as a

program is started. It must be pressed, for example, if an incorrect program
was started and the material could be damaged.
Pressing the "Cancel program" button ends the program as quickly

as possible ( Chapter 6.1, "Unexpected cancellation of the program
sequence").

Danger
REV 26.12019 - 04 25 / 136

Safety
opened.
1.5.4 Program stop switch
The program stop switch is on the control panel and must be used in case
of imminent danger, or if irregularities or malfunctions occur during the
program.
The program stop switch stops all movement of the machine by hardware,
i.e. the door close movement is stopped or prevented (this is also a safety
measure for work in an accessible chamber) and a program that has been
started is stopped.
When it is actuated the machine is placed in a safe state,

i.e. the media valves are closed.
The program stop switch must be pressed in the following cases:

■ Irregularities in the program sequence
■ Unusual noises
■ Steam emission from the machine room
■ Trapping during door movement
■ Fire

Danger
For machines with two doors, only the door on the loading side can be
opened.
The program stop switch can only be unlocked with the specific key
supplied ( Chapter 1.3.2, "System supervisor " and Chapter 6.1, "Unex-
pected cancellation of the program sequence").
1.5.5 Master switch
The master switch is located inside the assemblies compartment.
It completely disconnects the machine from the mains.
26 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Safety
Turn off the master switch if there is a hazard and when working on
the device (e.g. rectifying faults, performing maintenance, etc.).
To prevent unintentional switching on of the machine, secure the

master switch with a lock and keep the key with you when carrying
out work.
1.5.6 Safety valve
The steam sterilizer is optionally fitted with the following safety valve:
■ Compressed air (option): For certain variants, the compressed air
supply line is protected by a safety valve. The safety valve safely
discharges the compressed air into the assemblies compartment of the
machine in the event the permissible pressure is exceeded.
1.5.7 Locking the chamber door and door release
The control system prevents the door from being opened during the
program sequence. Consequently, the door buttons are not shown on the
display.
Forcibly opening the doors during the program sequence is prohib-

ited.
Danger
On completion of the program, the chamber door can only be opened when
the following conditions are met:
■ The pressure in the chamber is equal to the atmospheric pressure
■ The door seal has been released
See also see Chapter 4.3.8, "Unloading the chamber ".
Escape of steam possible!

For your personal protection, stand to the side of the chamber when
opening the chamber door.
Danger
1.5.8 Monitoring the sterilization parameters
The sterilization parameters (temperature, time and pressure) are moni-

tored by the control system. The temperature is measured by a reference
temperature sensor.
REV 26.12019 - 04 27 / 136

Safety
The time measurement is stopped if the temperature falls short of the

temperature set for the respective program by maximum 0.5 K. The time
measurement continues once the nominal temperature has been reached
again.
In the event of a deviation as described below, an automatic program

cancellation ( Chapter 1.5.2, "Automatic program cancellation") is trig-
gered:
■ The temperature falls below the sterilization temperature set for the
respective program by less than - 0.5 K; however, the time measure-
ment of the sterilization time is interrupted from a total of more than
90 s. The message “Sterilization temperature too low for too long”
appears on the screen.
■ The temperature falls below the sterilization temperature set for the
respective program by more than - 0.5 K. The message “Temperature
has fallen below sterilization temperature” appears on the screen.
■ The temperature exceeds the sterilization temperature set for the
respective program by +3 K. The message "Sterilization temperature
exceeded" appears on the screen.
The message is printed on the batch record.
1.5.9 Access protection
Operators have different authorizations for operation of the machine

depending on their user group.
Access to specific menu levels of the machine controller is pass-

word-protected. This prevents unauthorized access to process parameters
and settings relevant to safety.
Preset authorization levels with restricted rights are available for daily oper-
ation. These can be individually changed using the option User adminis-
tration ( Chapter 2.4, "User administration").
1.6 Residual risks and measures to prevent them

The machine is fitted with state-of-the-art safety mechanisms.
Furthermore, the parameters relevant to a successful sterilization

process are constantly monitored by the control system and comply with
DIN EN 285.
28 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Safety
Nevertheless, fault-free completion of a sterilization program is no guar-

antee of the sterility of the treated material.
Residual risks
The following influencing factors cannot be constantly monitored in all

process steps and therefore represent a residual risk for the process effec-
tiveness:
■ Poor (in particular fluctuating) steam quality due to an impermissibly
high proportion of inert gas in the steam. Inadequate steam penetra-
tion due to inert gases is determined periodically by means of the Bowie
Dick test, which must be performed daily.
■ Poor ventilation of the material due to leaks in the chamber or an oper-
ating error (e.g. an incorrect load configuration that hinders ventilation or
steam access, preparation instructions of the medical device manufac-
turer not being observed). Leaks are checked for periodically using the
vacuum test.
■ Incompatibility of the selected program with the materials to be treated.
The selected program is not suitable or has not been validated for the
materials to be treated (e.g. use of a solid materials program for porous
goods).
Measures to prevent the risks listed above and to guarantee

successful sterilization:
Make sure that the steam quality meets the require-

ments( Chapter 1.2.1.3, "Media") .
Observe the guidelines in the national regulations on the treatment of
medical products ( Chapter 1.2.3.1, "Process validation").
The machine may only be operated by trained, authorized operators.
Only trained, authorized operators are permitted to release the batch on
the basis of the batch record and visual check (e.g. no moisture in the
load when using vacuum programs).
Conduct regular routine tests, such as maintenance and safety inspec-
tion, including checking the measurement and control technology,
regular calibration and, if necessary, adjustment of the measurement
chain.
REV 26.12019 - 04 29 / 136

Safety
The following also applies to the processing of medical devices
Before the sterilization process, thoroughly and properly clean and

disinfect the items to be sterilized in accordance with the medical device
manufacturer’s instructions and the applicable national regulations.
Non-observance of this instruction can have a negative impact on the

sterilization results and also the functionality and appearance of the
items to be sterilized.
Use sterilized material barrier systems to protect the sterile goods from
recontamination. Only sterile goods packaging must be used which
complies with the national EN or DIN standards.
Perform the routine testing ( Chapter 1.2.3.2, "Routine inspections") on
daily start-up of the sterilizer.
Perform the daily vacuum tests ( Chapter 2.7.3.1, "Vacuum test") to
identify any leaks in the chamber.
Perform the daily Bowie-Dick tests ( Chapter 2.7.3.2) to prevent
an impermissibly high fraction of inert gas in the steam. See also
Chapter 4.2, "Daily start-up".
Only those goods for which a process validation exists may be treated.
1.7 Maintenance and Safety inspection

Having the machine regularly inspected and serviced by specialists is the
best possible way to keep your machine in perfect working order. We there-
fore recommend an inspection and maintenance contract.
Maintenance and safety inspections may only be performed by qualified

persons ( Chapter 1.3.3, "Specialist"). Similarly, the machine must only be

Machine description
Air detector (option)
The sterilizer is equipped with an air detector (air detector) for detection of
air leakages.
This monitors compliance with the sterilization conditions, since the effect
of sterilization is significantly impaired in the presence of non-condensable
gases, which tend to form air pockets in porous materials such as .
A corresponding fault message is printed on the batch documentation for

batches which are cancelled as faulty due to an air leak.
Air detector monitoring is only active if the air detector is installed and acti-
vated for the current program.
Air detector function test (option)
Additional function for creating a defined leak when performing a test using
an air-detection device.
Integrated Bowie-Dick test with SteamSpy (option)
The MMM SteamSpy is an integrated physical B&D test, which has been
tested as per ISO11140-4 by an independent test laboratory.
It consists of a tube that is permanently installed in the sterilization chamber

that simulates a cavity and a measuring device that is attached to the outer
chamber wall.
Its design enables verification of the effectiveness of steam penetration

both in the cavities and in porous material.
The temperature, which is measured by a Pt100 sensor, is evaluated by

the control unit of the sterilizer and is continuously compared with the target
values of the Bowie-Dick test program. The result of the B&D test is defined
at the end of the program and it is output on the batch documentation.
The integration of the electronic B&D test in the Autostart option automat-
ically starts the vacuum test, the heating program and the B&D test under
program control, which means that the machine is fully ready for operation
at the start of the shift.

sterilizers so that steam is taken from the supply network as evenly as
possible.
After a prompt, the sterilizer indicates that it is ready to start by the green
lamp and the display. Only then can the machine be loaded and started. It
must not be loaded beforehand, as the sterilization materials are otherwise
impermissibly pre-heated and dried.
The steam manager is activated and deactivated through corresponding

settings in the machine parameters ( Chapter 5.8, "Activating the steam
manager (option)").
REV 26.12019 - 04 37 / 136

Machine description

manager has sent the start release.
Barcodes can be read before the start release.
Standby mode
Standby mode is used to minimise steam consumption.
If the machine is not operated for a long time (no program active, screen is
not touched), it switches to standby mode after an adjustable time. Standby
mode is activated automatically after the set time has elapsed ( see
Chapter 5.6, "Activating standby mode ").
Jacket control is then paused and the machine cools down (energy saving).
Standby mode switches off as soon as the touch screen is touched. As the
machine cools down in standby mode, we recommend first running a warm-
up program after a long down time.

When the device is commissioned, an administrator (S) is set up, who will
have the right to create or delete additional users and to assign specific
rights to users ( Chapter 5.1, "Configuring user administration (option)").
If the machine has a control panel on the unloading side, the Extended
user administration function can also be used to specify that the names
of the users who started a program, and who opened the door at the end
of the program, are recorded with the batch and are printed on the batch
record.
The user administration feature is configured in the machine parameters, to

which only a specialist ( Chapter 1.3.3, "Specialist") has access.
2.5 Batch documentation

At the end of a program a batch record with all process-relevant data is
created. The user can release or reject the batches.
The batch record contains the following information:

■ General data about the operator, user, device
■ General data about the program and batch, e.g. selected program,
program start, begin and end sterilisation
■ Course of the pressure and temperature curves over time
REV 26.12019 - 04 43 / 136

Machine description
■ Course of the air detector temperature over time (for air detector option
only)
■ Evaluation of the integrated Bowie&Dick test (for SteamSpy option)
■ Evaluation of the integrated cycle control (for SteamSpy option)
■ Measurement record in plain text
■ All barcode numbers on labels read by the barcode scanner
The batch record saved in the device can be printed out at the end of the
batch ( Chapter 5.2, "Setting batch print and save options") and sent to an
external server, depending on the device equipment.
The transferred batch documents can be permanently archived there (e.g.

on a separate storage device). The operator is responsible for monitoring
that the transmission and saving of the batch record is successful. In partic-
ular, possible disruptions to the network connection must be considered
within this context.
If a record has not been added to the electronic archive, either the corre-
sponding printout must be retained or the batch in question discarded.
The last 20 batches stored on the device can be shown on the display and
reprinted.
2.6 Automatic program selection using the barcode (option)

The barcode entry can be used to automatically preselect the appropriate
program for the scanned goods.
Each barcode contains a program number to which a specific sterilization

time, sterilization temperature and drying method (e.g. SuperDry) has been
assigned.
The appropriate program is automatically highlighted in the program selec-

tion menu. Depending on the configuration, it is not possible to select other
programs. This prevents the selection of unsuitable programs which may
damage the goods to be processed.
The barcode process is configured during commissioning by the customer

service team in consultation with the operator.
Two types of processing mode are available: temperature flexible and

time flexible.
44 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Machine description
Temperature flexible program selection
The compatibility test of the barcode with a suitable program is assessed

according to the following process:
■ The first barcode to be scanned determines the barcode group. All other
scanned barcodes must belong to the same group.
■ If barcodes are scanned that are assigned to different sterilization
temperatures, the lowest temperature is selected.
■ A newly scanned barcode is checked to see whether a program with
the same sterilization temperature but different sterilization time has
already been scanned. If this is the case, the new barcode is rejected.
This means that all programs with the same sterilization temperature
have to have the same sterilization time.
■ If barcodes are scanned that have been allocated the SuperDry (SD)
drying method, the SD program with the lowest previously selected
temperature is selected. If there is no SD program with this temperature,
the barcode is rejected.
■ If barcodes are scanned that have been assigned a program number for
a program that has not been activated, the barcode is rejected.
Time flexible program selection
The compatibility test of the barcode with a suitable program is assessed

according to the following process:
■ If barcodes with different sterilization times are scanned, the program

with the longest sterilization time is selected. However, all of the
scanned barcodes must have the same sterilization temperature.
2.7 Process description
The sterilizer is factory-fitted with the processes described as examples in

the following.
Seven standard programs are available, which can be modified as required.

■ 3 sterilization programs
■ 2 routine test programs
REV 26.12019 - 04 45 / 136

Machine description
■ Heating program
■ 1 rack hatch program (for two-door machines)
The programs defined and set with the operator on commissioning are
displayed in the program selection menu. A maximum of 13 programs can
be activated simultaneously.
On request, the number of available programs can be reduced or increased

(authorisation level 3 required Chapter 1.3.3, "Specialist"). All available
programs which can be selected using the touch screen are displayed in
the program selection menu.
It is also possible to set special programs with individual program parame-

ters (authorisation level 3 required Chapter 1.3.3, "Specialist").
When selecting the program, note the program information text, in

which the process and the materials suitable for this program are
described.

7 Maintenance
Observe the safety instructions in Chapter 1!
Observe the instructions for operation of pressure vessels

Chapter 1.2.4, "Operation of pressure equipment" and the regula-
tions for regular inspection of pressure vessels Chapter 7.6, "Peri-
odic inspections of pressure vessels".
An inspection and safety maintenance (interval-based maintenance &

inspection) must be carried out at least once a year. Observe the instruc-
tions in Chapter 1.7, "Maintenance and Safety inspection".
However, this inspection and interval-based maintenance does not provide

the necessary safety for sustained reproducible operation. Preventative
maintenance is thus required.
Preventative inspection and maintenance (preventative maintenance) must

be performed on the sterilizer after 800 batches or after at least one year.
The device is equipped with a batch and preventive maintenance counter

as standard equipment. The current counter readings can be read on the
screen at any time.
The batch counter continuously counts the cycles performed.
The preventative maintenance counter displays how many cycles are left
until the next preventative maintenance procedure. If the preventative main-
tenance counter displays zero, the info message Perform preventative
maintenance appears on the display after each cycle and is printed on the
batch record.
REV 26.12019 - 04 111 / 136

Maintenance
7.1 Preparatory measures

Observe the following points when performing maintenance work.
When working on the machine, turn off the master switch and secure
it with a lock to prevent it from being switched back on unintention-
Danger ally.
Working in the door area and assemblies compartment
Work in the area of the door mechanism or closure mechanism must only
ever be performed by qualified persons ( Chapter 1.3.3, "Specialist") as
specified by the manufacturer.
Working in the door area on devices with a vertical door lock
When performing maintenance work underneath the door, the door must be
secured by screwing the safety screw into the blind hole in the door guide
rail to prevent it from moving. The safety screw must be secured in place
with a lock nut.
Risk of injury!
If the door is not secured, there is a risk of injury from the door drive
Danger chain or door spring.
Working on the automatic transport system
Risk of crushing!
When working on the automatic transport system, disconnect the

Danger compressed air supply.
Press the emergency stop switch.
Vacuum pump
Drain the vacuum pump during extended downtime.
When the machine is idle for long periods (longer than four weeks) or if
there is a risk of frost, the vacuum pump and circulation containers must
be drained by removing all lock screws at the bottom and preserved with
antifreeze (MMM article no. 010495501).

7.6 Periodic inspections of pressure vessels

Pressure vessels must be inspected regularly. The operator must set up an
inspection program defining the type, scope and schedule of inspections
( Chapter 1.2.4, "Operation of pressure equipment").
The manufacturer recommends that the following minimum requirements

be adhered to.
Recommended inspection intervals:
■ External inspection (quick acting closure): 2 years

■ Internal inspection: 5 years
■ Strength test: 10 years
Depending on the operating conditions, the number of cycles may require

shorter inspection intervals.
118 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Maintenance
A cycle corresponds to one cycle of a standard MMM program.
For further information, see the pressure vessel drawing or the acceptance
test report as per Annex I of the Pressure Equipment Directive.
The following tests must be conducted by a qualified specialist.
The following national regulations must be observed for technical

qualifications.

Internal inspection: after 5 years or when the corresponding number

of cycles is reached
The operator must consult the manufacturer's documentation to determine

the parts under the highest stress for inspection ( Chapter 1.2.4, "Opera-
tion of pressure equipment").
The vessel must be checked for cracks (e.g. surface cracking, ultrasonic
tests) as part of the inspection program specified by the operator with refer-
ence to the number of cycles during operation.

7.7 Cleaning
Regularly cleaning the sterilization chamber, the assemblies compartment
and the external surfaces prolongs your sterilizer's service life.
120 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Maintenance
7.7.1 Chamber interior
The inner chamber walls are manufactured from stainless steel, which is
corrosion-resistant to many media and environmental conditions. Regular
cleaning is recommended to maintain the chamber's corrosion resistance
and durability ( see Chapter 7, "Maintenance ").
Contamination and dirt accumulations must be removed during regular

cleaning. Surface discolourations can also be prevented through regular
cleaning.
This cleaning can be carried out by washing out with deionised water and/
or using commercially available stainless steel cleaning agents (observe
the manufacturer's instructions for use!). Cleaning can be supported with
brushes, textiles, non-woven cloths or abrasive and polishing agents.
When using cleaning agents, always make sure they are suitable for
stainless steel!
This applies to both chemical cleaning agents and aids such as cloths and
brushes, etc.
Normal steel wool or steel brushes, whose abrasion can cause extra-
neous rust, and cleaning agents containing halogens (chloride and
fluoride ions), i.e. hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid, must not be used
under any circumstances.
All traces of cleaning agents must be removed.
Clean chambers with special surfaces (e.g. ground) as gently as possible to

avoid impairing the surface quality.
Local corrosive attacks (e.g. pitting) must be removed through mechan-

ical or chemical processing. Depending on characteristics, such corrosive
attacks may affect the safety of the pressure vessel and must be analysed
separately.
Only accordingly trained personnel may treat corrosion.
Danger
REV 26.12019 - 04 121 / 136

Maintenance
7.7.2 Assemblies compartment
Careful cleaning and disinfection of the assemblies compartment prevents

the increased accumulation of micro-organisms which can occur with even
moderate levels of dust.
Clean the assemblies compartment every three months with an indus-

trial vacuum cleaner, which must be equipped with a disposable dust bag
(paper).
All parts of the system must then be disinfected with a commercially avail-
able disinfectant.
7.7.3 External care
To care for the stainless steel front cover, we recommend Ultrapur D steel
cleaning agent (MMM Art. No.: 0544308-3921). It is sprayed sparingly onto
the metal surfaces or a cloth and distributed in the direction of the grinding
surface patterns.
The touch screen can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a gentle cleaning
agent or a standard disinfectant.
If this is done with the machine switched on, the touch screen's sensitivity
to touch must be temporarily deactivated to prevent unintentionally pressing
buttons.
Press the Clean touch button.
The touch screen no longer reacts to inputs for 30 seconds. The time
remaining for this function is decremented on the screen.
122 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

Maintenance
7.7.4 Cleaning of transport trolleys
The following cleaning instructions apply to all MMM transport trolleys (incl.
TW HUB and TW HV).
The transport trolleys are not suitable for automated sterilizing!
If necessary, clean the transport trolley using cleaning agents specifically

intended for stainless steel and plastics.
Clean and disinfect the rollers and platform using a cleaning cloth and suit-
able surface disinfectant.
Removable parts can be sterilized in a washer-disinfector.

Section 2 Scope of the licence
MMM Münchener Medizin Mechanik GmbH, Semmelweisstr. 6, 82152

Planegg, Germany (hereinafter called either "licenser" or "MMM") herewith
grants to user (herinafter called "licensee") - subject to the settlement of the
corresponding licence fee and continuous compliance with the provisions
of this agreement - the non-exclusive, non-negotiable and nottransferable
right to use one (1) copy of the software in a manner as described below,
as far as the purchase agreement does not stipulate otherwise. The use
of the software for a purpose other than stipulated in this agreement is not

one work station, in networks, on a client-server system or on additional
mobile equipment.
This software licence does not apply to software of any third party and does
not include the use of such software. The right of the licensee to use such
software is subject to regulations stipulated by such third parties.
Section 3 Warranty
Express warranty. The Licensor warrants to the original Licensee that (a)
the data carrier on which the software is stored is free from any manufac-
turing and material defects when delivered to the Licensee and that (b) the
software (but not updates) shall, at a fundamental level, function in compli-
ance with the Specification of Services for a warranty period of one (1)
year from the date of purchase, provided that the software is used in accor-
dance with the foregoing licence, on the Defined Computer System and in
compliance with the terms stipulated in the product description relating to its
installation, use and operation.
The Licensor does not warrant that the software shall be free from defects,
run without interruption, meet the expectations of the Licensee or function
in combination with third-party hardware or software products, or that all
program errors shall be removed. In addition to the foregoing, in order for
a defect in the software to be sufficiently material as to violate the warranty
set forth in letter (b) above of this paragraph, the defect must cause the
software – whilst being used as permitted by the foregoing license – to
function in a way so divergent from the Specification of Services that it
is unsuitable for the purpose described in the product description. If the
required functionality can be achieved by the Licensee indirectly (through a
"work-around"), then the applicable impairment shall not constitute a defect
giving rise to obligations under the foregoing warranty. The Licensor's sole
obligation under the foregoing warranty shall be – at its own discretion and
cost – to either (a) replace the data carrier and/or software so that it corre-
sponds, at a fundamental level, to the Specification of Services (including
replacement with a newer version or an equivalent piece of software) or
(b) repair the software by supplying correction code, work-around solu-
tions and/or updates, including updated documentation and other docu-
ments, or (c) to terminate this Licence Agreement and refund the licence
REV 26.12019 - 04 127 / 136

fee upon return of the software, if the fee was charged separately when
the product was handed over, in accordance with Section 6 below. The
foregoing warranty shall apply to any replaced data carriers and software
until expiry of the original warranty period. The costs and risk of delivering
software to the service point defined by the Licensor shall be borne by the
Licensee.
Obtaining warranty service.
If the Licensee identifies a defect in the Software that may give rise to an
obligation under the foregoing warranty, it shall cease using the Software
immediately and notify the Licensor in writing of the defect within the defect
notification period while also providing sufficient supporting documentation.
The defect notification period is ninety (90) days from delivery of the data
carrier (for a defect in the data carrier) and six (6) months from delivery of
the software (for a defect in the software). The written supporting docu-
mentation providing proof of the defect shall be sufficient if the Licensor is
able to reproduce the defect identified by the Licensee. The Licensee shall
enclose the relevant purchase receipt so that the Licensor may determine
whether the defect notification period has been observed in respect of the
defect concerned. The Licensee shall not carry out any modifications or
repairs itself or allow modifications or repairs to be carried out by unautho-
rised third parties. If the Licensor so desires, the Licensee shall support the
Licensor in the analysis of the causes and circumstances giving rise to the
defect, as well as in the development and testing of correction codes or a
work-around solution.
Exclusivity of warranty.
The Licensee's sole remedy for software defects is set forth in the fore-
going express warranty. The software is licensed with its current features
"as is". Other than the foregoing express warranty, the Licensor provides
no other warranty or guarantee whatsoever. Such express warranty is in
lieu of all other warranties, express or implied, either in fact or by opera-
tion of law, including assurances, terms or conditions of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality and non-infringement,
all of which are expressly disclaimed. It shall be the responsibility of the
Licensee to select the software that fulfils its requirements. The Licensee
shall bear the full risk for the performance of and results achieved by the
software and for its suitability for the use that Licensee has planned for it,
even if the Licensor has been informed of the planned use of the software
in advance. The Licensor shall be relieved of its obligations under the fore-
128 / 136 REV 26.12019 - 04

going express warranty insofar as a defect has been caused by circum-

stances for which it is not responsible, including, without limitation, (a) non-
compliance with the conditions of use and operation defined in the product
description or the documentation; (b) non-compliance with the terms of this
Licence Agreement; (c) unauthorised modifications to or interference with
the software by the Licensee or third parties; (d) errors in the operation of
the software attributable to the Licensee or third parties; (e) influences from
systems or programs that have not been supplied by the Licensor; or (f)
use on a computer system other than the Defined Computer System. In
the event that the Licensor is not responsible for a defect pursuant to these
warranty terms or that the Licensor incurs additional expenses as a result
of the failure of the Licensee to comply fully with its obligations under this
Section 3 (including, without limitation, its obligation to support and provide
documentation to the Licensor), the Licensor shall be entitled to charge the
Licensee for the costs that it incurs for the analysis and rectification of the
defect on a time and materials basis and in accordance with the applicable
rates charged by the Licensor at the time.
Section 4 Intellectual property rights
The Licensee shall only hold those rights to the Software that are expressly
described in Section 2 of this Licence Agreement. The Licensor shall
remain the sole holder of any other rights with regard to the software,
including, without limitation, ownership rights and patent, copyright, trade-
mark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights. The Licensee must
not remove, obscure or modify any references on the software to copy-
rights, trademarks or other ownership rights of the Licensor. The Licensee
shall take all reasonable steps to prevent any unauthorised use, repro-
duction, sale or publication of the software or the unauthorised provi-
sion of access thereto. The Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Licensor against any loss, damage, claims and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal expenses) relating to any infringe-
ment of the rights of the Licensor caused by the Licensee, the Licensee's
breach of this Licence Agreement or the Licensee's use of the software in a
manner not permitted under this Licence Agreement.
REV 26.12019 - 04 129 / 136

Section 5 Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Licensor shall not be
liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage, including,
without limitation, loss of profits, unrealised cost reductions, loss of data or
increased costs on the part of the Licensee or any other financial losses
resulting from or in connection with the purchase, licensing, use, or failure
of the software, or disturbances when operating the software. The fore-
going limitation of liability shall also apply in the event that the Licensor has
been notified in advance of the possibility of such loss or damage being
incurred. The Licensor shall only be liable for loss or damage caused by the
Licensor's gross negligence or wilful misconduct. This limitation of liability
shall apply to all claims for damages irrespective of their legal grounds,
including, without limitation, claims based on tort, contract, pre-contract
or quasi-contract. This limitation of liability shall also apply to any officers,
directors or employees of the Licensor and any representatives or agents of
the Licensor that are involved in the development, marketing or delivery of
the software. It is the sole obligation of the Licensee to ensure that it and its
employees possess the required knowledge to properly install and/or use
the software. The Licensor shall not be liable for problems and defects that
arise from insufficient knowledge on the part of the users of the software.
Section 6 Contract period and termination
This licence agreement shall become effective on the date, when the
licensee accepts and acknowledges the terms of this licence agreement.
In addition to other rights of cancellation according to this licence agree-

ment, each party is allowed to cancel this licence agreement with imme-
diate effect, if the other party essentially infringes a contractual duty,
including but without limitation, delay in payment of the licence fee,
provided that the party violating the contract does not correct the infringe-
ment within forty-five (45) days upon receipt of a written reminder.
On termination of this licence agreement, all righs of the licensee to use

this software will cease. Within thirty (30) days on termination of this licence
agreement, the licensee must return the software to the licenser or destroy
it and all copies or partial copies the licensee has generated, all modified
parts of the software or interfaces to other programs or data systems and
- if exist - all safety devices (and confirm the destruction in writing to the
licenser).

Warranty (Liability for defects)
9 Warranty (Liability for defects)

MMM is liable for the proper delivery and functionality of this product
pursuant to the contractual terms of the delivery contract, the contract for
work and materials and the development contract. Please refer to the MMM
contractual terms and the terms and conditions of delivery.
MMM assumes no liability for defects or other loss or damage resulting

from natural wear, chemical or physical influences, excessive strain, incor-
rect handling and/or inappropriate or improper use, particularly in case of
failure to observe the user manual supplied with the machine or instructions
for use attached to the machine, improper installation and/or commissioning
by the buyer or third parties, loss or damage caused by foreign objects and
improper or faulty maintenance.
If maintenance is not performed at certain intervals as prescribed by the

manufacturer or is carried out by persons not authorised by the manu-
facturer, this also constitutes improper or faulty maintenance. The same
applies in case of improper or faulty repairs carried out by persons not
authorised by the manufacturer to perform this work.
In order for MMM machines to be connected correctly to on-site supply

and discharge lines, the specifications in the MMM planning drawings
(including the technical specifications for the order) are binding on the
contract partner. The MMM warranty shall be rendered null and void if the
subsequent operating conditions of these lines are subject to negative devi-
ations, e.g. if the supply pressure is too low or the quality of the supply
medium is insufficient and the machine suffers defects or damage as a
result.
The beginning and end of the warranty period is defined in the contractual
agreements.
