4. Instructions For Use
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.
• 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, package the instruments to be sterilized in autoclave bags or
sterilization wrap, 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.
