2. Important Information

2.1 Disclaimers

Use only steam-process distilled water in your Statim. Deionized, demineralized, or specially filtered water should not be used. Never use tap water.

Do not permit any person other than certified 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 profits, 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 verification 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 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:

•	1
	The level indicator bubble ■ 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 lev-
	eler feet will help you move the bubble if necessary.
• The unit should be stable and all four feet should be secure-
	ly in contact with the counter surface.
	This will prevent the unit from moving freely.	1

4. Unscrew the lid and copper condenser coil ■
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, pre-			2000S	4
pared according to the manufacturer’s				■
				3
instructions, may be added to the waste				■	6
					■
bottle to remedy this situation). As a mini-
mum, empty the waste bottle each time
you refill the reservoir.			2
			■
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)			Figure 4
in the counter-top and secured with the
provided nylon clamps.

3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir

When filling 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 filling the reservoir. To fill the reservoir, follow these steps (see figure 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 five 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.

Page 13

4. Instructions For Use Con’t.

• Unwrapped Instruments

Arrange unwrapped instruments on the instrument rack in the tray so that they

do not touch one another. This ensures that steam reaches all surfaces and will promote drying.

Instruments must not be stacked or piled in the cassettes, as this will impede the sterilization process.

• 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 fitted 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 (Teflon™), 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.

Page 14

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 final 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.

4. Air Dry Only Cycle

This is not a sterilization cycle.

The Air Dry Only Cycle starts automatically after each sterilizing cycle and runs for 60 minutes.

Air drying may be interrupted by pressing the STOP button. 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 an aseptic manner for immediate use or resterilized.

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

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

Page 20

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Cassette

Keeping the Statim cassette clean is good clinical practice and assists in the function of the unit. SciCan recommends that the interior surface be cleaned at least once a week. Use dishwashing soap or a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine. Scrub the inside of the cassette with a cleaning pad designed for use with Teflon™ coated surfaces. After scouring, rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of the detergent. Cleaning the inside of your cassette is very important if you regularly sterilize lubricated instruments. Coating the entire inside surface with STAT-DRI drying agent induces water to form an even coat on the inside surface, without beading. The water in contact with the hot cassette surfaces also evaporates much more efficiently. Spotting is minimized and instruments dry much better. STATDRI should be applied every 10 cycles, and after every cassette cleaning.

5.2 Cleaning the Water Reservoir Filter

This water reservoir filter should be cleaned at least once a week or when required. The filter can easily be removed and cleaned by placing the filter upside down under running water to wash away the particles until clean, and then placed back into the reservoir opening. If a replacement water reservoir filter is required, order part number 01-109300S.

5.3 Cleaning the Reservoir

Check the reservoir for dirt or particles. The reservoir may be cleaned by draining followed by cleaning and rinsing with steam process distilled water ONLY. Use of chemicals or cleaning agents is not reccommended and could cause the unit damage.

5.4 Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces

Use a soft cloth moistened with soap and water to clean all exterior surfaces. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals or disinfectants.

5.5 Changing the Statim 2000S Air Filter
The filter should be replaced every six months in order to maintain an adequate supply of
clean air during the air drying cycle.
To change the filter, follow these steps:					2000S

5.7 Replacing the Cassette Seal

To ensure optimum performance of your Statim cassette autoclave, change the

cassette seal every 500 cycles or every six months, whichever comes first. Replacement seals are available from SciCan (order number 01-100028S for Statim 2000S and 01101649S for Statim 5000S).

To change the cassette seal, follow these steps:

Place the cassette lid and the new seal on a clean work surface. Examine the position of the old seal in the cassette lid and arrange the new seal in the same orientation, next to the lid.

Page 22

5. Maintenance con’t.

Remove the old seal and discard. Clean any residue out of the seal channel and flush out the channel with distilled water.

Lubricate the new seal with the liquid seal lubricant provided.
Insert the rounded edge of the seal under the round lip of
the lid. Align the holes in the new seal with the holes in the lid.
NOTE: At every corner and at the holes in the lid, two square nibs
should be visible. The nibs should fit flush with the lid’s outer surface.
Ensure the seal is completely inserted. Feel around
the periphery to ensure the seal is securely in place.
NOTE: During a cycle, steam may appear between the lid
and the tray. If this persists, remove the cassette and check
that the seal is correctly installed.
	Figure 13
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette may contain hot steam.

5.8 Maintaining Fluid Levels

Use only steam-process distilled water containing less than 5 ppm total dissolved

solids (having conductivity of less than 10 µS / cm) in the Statim. To fill the reservoir, remove the cap from the top of the unit and fill the reservoir. We recommend using

a funnel to minimize spills. Each time you refill the reservoir, empty the waste bottle

and refill with water to the MIN line. Empty the waste bottle often to avoid unpleasant odors and discoloration of the contents. (A low-level chlorine-free disinfectant,

prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, may be added to the waste bottle to remedy this situation).

5.9 Reading Water Quality
1.	Power up unit while pressing the STOP button to access the User Setup menu.
2.	Using the UNWRAPPED and WRAPPED buttons, scroll to Water Quality and select it by
	pressing the RUBBER AND PLASTIC button.

6.3 Installing Paper on the Internal Printer

Use only paper approved for use with the optional internal printer on the Statim 5000S. The use of any other paper will damage the printer and will void the warranty. Thermal paper is available from SciCan (SciCan order no. 01-101657S).

Do not operate the printer without paper. If you run out of thermal paper, or if you do not wish to use the printer, turn it OFF.

Never pull the paper backwards through the printer. This will damage the printer mechanism.

To install the paper into the printer, follow these steps:

1.Power the Statim 5000S ON.

2.Open the printer door ■1 by pushing on the top half of the door.

3.Power the printer ON.

4.Unroll some paper from the thermal paper roll ■3 and trim the corners using the paper cutting template included with each box.

5.Move the paper roll arm ■4 into the loading position. Place the paper roll ■3 on the arm so the paper strip feeds from the top of the roll and then carefully insert

it into the paper feed slot ■5 until it stops.

If the paper does not feed from the top, the heat sensitive side of the paper will not be in contact with the print head and the printer will not print.

6.With one hand, continue to gently feed the paper strip into the paper feed slot. With the other hand, press the paper advance button until the paper feeds by itself.

Keep the paper straight when feeding it into the printer or it may jam. Do not force the paper into the slot! If the paper will not feed into the slot, pre-cut the end of the roll again and reload the paper.
