3. Installation

3.1 Environmental Considerations

There are several factors that may effect 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 ˚C to 25 ˚C (59 ˚F to 77 ˚F) with humidity of 25 % to 70 %.

•Spacing

The vents and openings on the Statim should remain uncovered and unobstructed. Leave a minimum of 50 mm / 2 " 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 flat, 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 ■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.

3.3 Connecting the Waste Bottle

The waste bottle ■2 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 Figure 4):

5000

1. Insert the exhaust tube ■ into the
3
fitting ■ on the back of the unit and push
4
firmly.	■
	3
2. Cut the tube to length and slide the waste	■
5
bottle fitting ■ into place.	4
	■
	6
3. Place the free end of the tube into	■
the hole in the lid of the waste bottle and	5
hand-tighten the fitting. Do not	■
coil the exhaust tube.	2

4.Unscrew the lid and copper condenser coil ■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	2000
condenser assembly. Empty the		■
waste bottle often to avoid unpleasant		4
		■	■
odors and discoloration of the		3	6
contents. (A low-level chlorine-free
disinfectant, prepared according to the	■
manufacturer’s instructions, may be	2
added to the waste bottle to remedy
this situation). As a minimum, empty
the waste bottle each time you refill	Figure 4
the reservoir.

6.Place the waste bottle near the unit. We recommend that you keep it in a cabinet below the unit. The tube can be routed through a hole, (8 mm / 0.3" in diameter) in the counter-top and secured with the nylon clamps supplied.

3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir

When filling the reservoir, ensure you only use steam processed distilled water containing less than 5ppm 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 filling the reservoir. To fill the reservoir, follow these steps (see Figure 5):

Page 8	/

3. Installation Cont’d.

1.Remove the reservoir cap ■2

2.Pour steam-process distilled water into the reservoir until almost full (a maximum of 4 L / 1 U.S. gal.) Use a funnel to avoid spillage.

3.Replace the cap.

3.5 Priming the Statim Pump

To prime the Statim pump, follow these steps (see Figure 6):

2

■

Figure 5

1.Move the unit to the edge of the work surface. The front leveler feet should be approximately 12 mm / 0.5" from the edge.

2.Lift the front left corner of the unit upward and remove the drain tube ■3 from the clip located on the underside of the unit.

3.Pull the drain tube outward so the free end can be positioned over a water container.

4.Fill the reservoir with steam-process distilled water.

5.Remove the plug ■4 from the end of the drain tube and allow water to drain from the tube into a container. When the water flows in a

steady stream, replace the stopper.	4
	■
6. Lift the front left corner of the unit upward and	■
	3
reinsert the tube into the clip on the underside of
the unit. Push the excess length of tubing back into
the space provided.	Figure 6
Make sure the plug in the drain tube is secured.

After installation and before sterilizing any instruments, run two Wrapped Cycles. For further instruction, see Section 3.7 Prepairing the unit for use.

3.6 Language Selection

The messages displayed on the LCD can be changed to a number of different languages. To change the current language selection, follow these steps:

1.Turn the power switch at the back of the unit OFF.

2.For the Statim 2000 press and hold the Wrapped Cycle button. For the Statim 5000 press and hold the Unwrapped Cycle button.

3.While depressing the appropriate button, turn the power switch at the back of the unit to ON.

5.When the desired language is displayed, press the STOP button to save the selection and return to the regular operating mode.

3.7 Preparing Unit for Use

Once the unit is installed and before any instruments are sterilized, run two Wrapped Cycles (see Sections 4.7 Statim 2000 — Running a Cycle and 4.9 Statim 5000 — Running a Cycle). Remove the cassette once it has cooled. Clean the top (lid) and bottom (tray) sections using a soft cloth to wipe the inside surfaces and then rinse thoroughly with tap water. Once the cassette is clean and dry, coat the inside surfaces with Stat-Dri.

3.8 Shipping the Unit

Before you move the unit, you will need to drain the reservoir. To do so, follow these steps:

1.Place a water container below the unit.

2.Using the drain tube (see Section 3.5 Priming the Pump, Figure 6) empty the contents of the reservoir into the water container.

3.Remove any remaining water from the reservoir with a non-linting absorbant towel.

4.Screw-in the three leveler feet found underneath the unit.

5.Repack the unit in the original packing materials and include all accessories originally included with the unit.

6.Specify heated and insured shipping.
