2.1 Disclaimers

Use only steam-process distilled water in your Statim. Deionized, demineralized, or specially

ltered water should not be used. Never use tap water.

Do not permit any person other than certied personnel to supply parts for, service or

maintain your Statim. SciCan shall not be liable for incidental, special or consequential

damages caused by any maintenance or services performed on the Statim by a third party,

or for the use of equipment or parts manufactured by a third party, including lost prots, any

commercial loss, economic loss, or loss arising from personal injury.

Never remove the cover of the unit and never insert objects through holes or openings in the

cabinetry. Doing so may damage the unit and / or pose a hazard to the operator.

All elements of this book are common to both Statim 2000S and Statim 5000S except when

noted.

IMPORTANT:

Follow local guidelines governing verication of the sterilization procedure.

Drying Performance

The Statim 2000S and 5000S have been designed to provide a complete sterilization

solution for your unwrapped and wrapped instrument needs: rapid sterilization balanced with

rapid drying, by using the SciCan Dri-Tec Drying Technology.

The Statim 2000S uses convection heat to dry instruments by utilizing the remaining heat

in the system after the sterilization phase. Heat is captured and released in the cassette to

rapidly dry a properly loaded Statim cassette.

The Statim 5000S uses heat generated by the sterilization phase which is absorbed by

the drying plates. The heat is transferred from drying plates directly to the load resulting in

accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded Statim cassette.

Please refer to this operator’s manual for instructions on the proper arrangement of

instruments in the cassette and the use of Stat-Dri plates (Statim 5000S). By carefully

following these directions on how to properly load the cassette chamber, rapid drying of the

load will be achieved.

3. Installation

3.1 Environmental Considerations

There are several factors that may affect the performance of your Statim.

Please review these factors, and select a suitable location in which to install the unit.

• Temperature and Humidity

Avoid installing your Statim in direct sunlight or close to a heat source (e.g. vents or

radiators). The recommended operating temperatures are 15-25˚C with humidity of 25-70%.

• Spacing

The vents and openings on the Statim should remain uncovered and unobstructed. Leave a

minimum of 50 mm between the top, sides and back of the unit and any wall or partition.

• Venting

The Statim should be operated in a clean, dust free environment.

• Work Surface

The Statim should be placed on a at, level, water-resistant surface.

Never install and operate the unit on a sloped surface.

• Electromagnetic Environment

The Statim has been tested and meets applicable standards for electromagnetic emissions.

While the unit does not emit any radiation, it may itself be affected by other equipment which

does. We recommend that the unit be kept away from potential sources of interference.

• Electrical Requirements

Use properly grounded and fused power sources with the same voltage rating as indicated

on the label at the back of your Statim. Avoid multiple outlet receptacles. If using a surge

suppressor power bar, plug in one Statim only.

3.2 Unit Placement

When placing the unit on a counter top, ensure the following:

• The level indicator bubble

n

1

on the front panel should be

balanced in the front right quadrant of the target. This will

ensure that the unit drains properly. Adjusting the three

leveler feet will help you move the bubble if necessary.

• The unit should be stable and all four feet should be securely

in contact with the counter surface.

This will prevent the unit from moving freely.

is used to collect the wastewater after it has been converted

to steam and then drained from the cassette. To connect the waste bottle to the

Statim, follow these steps (see gure 4):

1. Insert the exhaust

n

3

tube into the tting n

4

on

the back of the unit and connect tightly.

2. Cut the tube to length and slide the waste

bottle tting

n

into place.

3. Place the free end of the tube into the hole

in the lid of the waste bottle and hand-tighten

the tting. Do not coil the exhaust tube.

4. Unscrew the lid and copper condenser coil

n

6

assembly from the waste bottle. The lid and

coil should come out together.

5. Fill the waste bottle with water to the MIN line

and replace the lid and copper condenser

assembly. Empty the waste bottle often to

avoid unpleasant odors and discoloration

of the contents. (A low-level disinfectant,

prepared according to the manufacturer’s

instructions, may be added to the waste bottle

to remedy this situation). As a minimum,

empty the waste bottle each time you rell the

reservoir.

6. Place the waste bottle near the unit. Store

the bottle below the unit. The tube can be

routed through a hole, (8 mm in diameter) in

the counter-top and secured with the provided

nylon clamps.

3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir

When lling the reservoir, ensure you only use steam processed distilled water containing

less than 5 ppm total dissolved solids (having conductivity of less than 10 µS / cm). The

impurities and additives in other water sources will cause an error reading on the LCD. If you

have a water conductivity meter (available from SciCan, order number 01-103139S) check

each new water container before lling the reservoir. To ll the reservoir, follow these steps

(see gure 5):

4.3 Statim 5000S — STAT-DRI Plates

The Statim 5000S cassette uses STAT-DRI plates to enhance the drying process for

wrapped instruments. The adjustable plates are designed for the unwrapped instruments

rack

and eliminate the need for a separate wrapped instrument rack.

Up to ten plates can be arranged along the length of the rack. Each unit is shipped

with ve STAT-DRI plates. Additional plates may be ordered from SciCan (SciCan

part number 01-103935).

To install and adjust a STAT-DRI plate, follow these steps:

1. Hold a plate over the desired position, tilted slightly

forward with the tabs down.

2. Insert the tabs between the mesh of the

unwrapped instrument rack.

3. Each tab has an elongated slot. Slide the plate until

the wire is at the end of each slot.

4. Release the plate to the resting position.

5. Prepare and load instruments for sterilization.

4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments

Before loading any instruments into the Statim, consult the manufacturer’s reprocessing

instructions.

• Clean Instruments

Clean and rinse all instruments before loading them into the cassette. Disinfectant residues

and solid debris may inhibit sterilization and damage the instruments, the cassette, and the

Statim. Lubricated instruments must be wiped thoroughly and any excess lubricant should be

removed before loading.

14

4. Instructions For Use Con’t.

• Unwrapped Instruments

Arrange unwrapped instruments on the rack by spreading them as evenly as possible.

• Wrapped Instruments (single wraps)

Place the instruments into single layer autoclave bags according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. Orient the instrument rack in the cassette to ensure that wrapped instruments

rest approximately 6 mm / 0.25” above the cassette base. Place the wrapped instruments

on the rack and arrange them to avoid overlap. Ensure that all wrapped loads are dry before

handling and /or storage to maintain sterility.

The use of cloth wraps in the Statim is not recommended.

SciCan recommends the use of paper / paper and plastic / paper autoclave bags

manufactured in accordance to EN 868. Loosely pack instruments in the bags to allow steam

penetration to all instrument surfaces.

The wrapped instrument rack for the Statim 5000S is designed to hold a maximum of

12 autoclave bags. Care must be taken to ensure that the combined weight of the loaded

bags does not exceed 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs).

The unwrapped instrument rack tted with a maximum of 10 Stat-Dri plates will hold

10 autoclave bags.

• Rubber and Plastic Instruments

The following materials can be sterilized in the Statim:

nylon, polycarbonate (Lexan™), polypropylene, PTFE (Teon™), acetal (Delrin™),

polysulfone (Udel™), polyetherimide (Ultem™), silicone rubber, and polyester.

When loading rubber and plastic instruments in the tray, leave a space between the

instruments and the cassette walls. This ensures that steam reaches all surfaces, and

will promote drying.

The following materials cannot be sterilized in the Statim:

polyethylene, ABS, styrene, cellulosics, PVC, Acrylic (Plexiglas™), PPO (Noryl™), latex,

neoprene, and similar materials.

Use of these materials may lead to instrument or equipment damage. If you are unsure

of your instrument’s material or construction, do not load into your Statim until you have

checked with the instrument manufacturer.

15

4. Instructions For Use Con’t.

• All Instruments

The Statim is NOT intended for sterilizing textiles, liquids or biomedical waste. Instruments

will remain sterile after a successful cycle until the cassette is disengaged from the unit.

Unwrapped instruments, once exposed to ambient or external conditions, cannot be

maintained in a sterile state. If sterile storage is desired, wrap the instruments to be sterilized

in autoclave bags, according to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions. Then allow the

wrapped cycle to run until the air-dry phase is complete.

Best Practice: Allow instruments (wrapped or unwrapped) to dry completely prior to

handling. Wrapped or pouched instruments must not touch each other to promote drying

and enable effective sterilization.

SciCan recommends the nal user carefully choose the most appropriate sterilization cycle

according to the recommendations of their leading infection control authorities and local

regulatory guidelines / recommendations.

• Routine Monitoring

Chemical process indicators suitable for steam sterilizers should be included in or on each

package or load being sterilized. In addition, the weekly use of biological indicators, which

allow you to ascertain whether the instruments have been exposed

to sterilization conditions, is recommended.

Note for Ophthalmology Use

In the eld of ophthalmology, proper wrapping or pouching of surgical instruments will reduce

the exposure of instruments to any process residues during the sterilization cycle. Due to

the highly sensitive nature of some types of surgery (particularly in ophthalmology), SciCan

recommends that all instruments be routinely packaged or wrapped and processed through

the wrapped cycle of the sterilizer. This practice is the suggested approach for the majority

of sterile surgical procedures and is referenced in most leading infection control publications

and guidelines.

4. Instructions For Use Con’t.

Once the desired cycle has been selected, press the START button.

The unit remembers the last cycle run and then displays this rst when the

unit is powered on.

4. Air Dry Only Cycle

This is not a sterilization cycle.

The load is considered sterile after the successful completion of the sterilization phase of

the cycle. The Air Dry phase starts automatically after each sterilizing cycle and runs for

60 minutes.

Air drying may be interrupted by pressing the STOP button anytime after the sterilization

phase of the cycle is complete. To ensure that the contents of the cassette are dry, the

cycle should run for the full 60 minutes. Dryness is important for unwrapped instruments for

corrosion prevention. For wrapped instruments, a dry wrap is required to maintain sterility.

If the STOP button is pressed during the air drying stage of the sterilization cycle, and the

cassette has not been removed from the autoclave, the Air Dry Only cycle may be used to

promote further drying. If the cassette has been removed from the autoclave, it may NOT

be reinserted for the Air Dry Only cycle. If the cassette contains wrapped instruments and

the wraps are not dry when the cassette is opened, the instruments must be handled in a

manner that maintains their sterility and must be used immediately or resterilized.

NOTE: Sterilized instruments should only be handled once they are dry. Drying times can

vary depending on the weight of load, 60 minutes is based on a maximum load per cycle.

If best practices are exercised (refer to section ‘Preparing and Loading Instruments’ and

‘Maintenance’) and the load is less than the maximum capacity, instruments may be dry in

less than 60 minutes.

To start, press the Air Dry Only Cycle button, then press the START button.

When started independently, this cycle will run for 1 hour.

The buzzing noise during the air drying stage is the compressor operating. The air drying

phase of the cycle may be interrupted at any time by pressing the STOP button. The display

will read:

When the automatic 60-minute air drying stage is nished the display reads:

If a sterilization cycle is successful the reminder tone sounds and the amber light ashes

until the STOP button is pressed or the cassette is removed from the unit.

4.8 Stopping a Cycle

To stop a cycle press the STOP button. If the STOP button is pushed, the cassette is

removed, or the unit detects a problem while operating, the cycle will stop and the amber

active light will ash. Once a cycle has been stopped, the STOP button must be pressed

before another cycle can be started. The display reads any of the following messages:

If the display shows the message, CYCLE FAULT or NOT STERILE, the cassette contents

are not sterile! See section 7. Troubleshooting for more information.

If the air drying stage of the cycle is interrupted, do not store wrapped instruments that were

in the cassette unless they are dry.
