STAT IM 900J Operator’s Manual

1. Introduction

Figure 1

The STATIM® 900J autoclave has been designed expressly for the rapid
sterilization of instruments intended for immediate use. This allows you to
sterilize instruments between patients. To decrease instrument turn-around
time, the Statim 900J does not have a post-sterilization drying cycle. Quick
drying and cooling of the load at the end of the cycle is achieved through
evaporation after the automatic opening of the sterilization chamber drawer.
Because of the unique operation of the Statim 900J, once the instruments are
exposed to ambient conditions, their continued sterility cannot be assured. It is
recommended to use these instruments immediately after they are comfortable
to the touch. The Statim 900J has three sterilization cycles:

The Solid Instrument Cycle is used to sterilize solid metal instruments. The
sterilization phase of this cycle is at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. For a detailed
description of this cycle, please see page 14.

The Hollow or Wrapped Instrument Cycle is used to sterilize dental handpieces.
The sterilization phase of this cycle is at 134°C for 5 minutes. For a detailed
description of the cycle please see page 15.

The Rubber or Plastic Instrument Cycle is used to gently sterilize rubber and
plastic instruments. The types of materials appropriate for this cycle are outlined
in Preparing and Loading Instruments. The sterilization phase of this cycle is at
121°C for 15 minutes. For a detailed description of this cycle please see page

15.

2. Important Information

2.1 Disclaimers

Use only steam-process distilled water in your Statim. Specially filtered
water should not be used. Never use tap water. Usage of any water other than
steam-process distilled water may damage the unit and void the warranty.

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.

IMPORTANT: Follow local guidelines governing verification of the sterilization
procedure.

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 temperature is

between 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

To stabilize the Statim 900J, follow these steps:

1. Align the bubble (1)
in the level indicator
(2) on the front panel
to the right front quadrant
(or 4 o’clock) of the target
by adjusting the four
leveller feet (3). This will
ensure that the Statim 900
functions properly.

2. Ensure that all four feet are

in contact with the surface,
and that the Statim 900J
does not rock.

3. Installation

3.3 Connecting the waste bottle

To connect the waste bottle (1), follow these steps:

1. Insert one end of the
Teflon™ exhaust tube
(2) into the exhaust
fitting (3) on the back of
the Statim 900J. Push
the tube into the fitting
as far as it will go to
ensure that the tube is
connected tightly.

2. Cut the tube to length
and slide the nut, ring
and cone onto the tube.
Place the free end of
the tube into the fitting
in the lid of the waste
bottle and hand tighten.
Do not coil the exhaust
tube.

3. Place the waste bottle
near the Statim 900J.
We recommend that
you keep it in a cabinet
below the unit. For convenience, the tube can be routed through a hole, 7
mm (5/16") in diameter, drilled through the counter-top and secured with the
nylon clamps provided.

4. Unscrew the lid with the copper condenser coil assembly from the waste
bottle. The lid and coil should come out together. Fill the waste bottle with
water to the “MIN” line and replace the lid and copper condenser assembly.

5. If required, a low-level disinfectant prepared according to instructions on
the disinfectant packaging may be added to the waste bottle. This may help
prevent unpleasant odours or discoloration of the waste water if it is not
changed regularly.

3.4 Filling the Statim Reservoir

To fill the reservoir, follow these steps:

1. Remove the reservoir cap from the top of
the Statim 900J and pour only steam­process distilled water into the reservoir
until nearly full (a maximum of 3 litres).
Never use tap water. We recommend using
a funnel when filling the reservoir to avoid
spills. Pour slowly when filling the top portion
of the reservoir. Use only steam processed
distilled water containing less than 5 ppm
total dissolved solids (having conductivity of

less than 10 μS / cm).

3. Installation

2. Replace the reservoir cap to ensure that nothing other than steam-process

distilled water enters the reservoir.

3. Empty the waste bottle and refill to the MIN indicator.

3.5 Priming the Statim 900J pump

To Prime the Statim 900J pump follow
these steps:

1. Carefully turn the Statim 900J sideways,

and locate the drain tube beside the
power switch, on the back of the unit.
Gently pull the tube out as far as possible
so the free end can be positioned over a
water container.

2. Remove the stopper from the end of the

drain tube and allow water to drain from
the tube into a container for at least
30 seconds.

3. Replace the stopper, and feed the tube back into the unit until secure.

4. Plug the power cord into the power cord receptacle on the back of the unit.

5. Plug the power cord into a standard, grounded, wall outlet.

3.8 Preparing Unit for Use

Once the unit is installed and before any instruments are sterilized, run two
Hollow or Wrapped instrument cycles (See section 4.5 Running a Cycle). Clean
the drawer and the instrument basket using a soft cloth to wipe the inside
surfaces and rinse thoroughly with tap water. Once the instrument basket and
sterilization chamber are clean and dry, coat the interior surfaces with Stat-Dri.

3.9 Shipping the Statim 900J

If you must ship the Statim 900J, follow these instructions:

1. Drain the water from the reservoir. Carefully turn the Statim 900J backwards.

Locate the drain tube beside the power switch on the back of the unit.
Release the drain tube from the clip.

2. Remove the stopper from the end of the drain tube and allow for the water

to drain freely from the reservoir. When the water no longer drips from the
drain tube replace the stopper and secure the drain tube under the clip.
