STATIM 7000 Operator's Manual

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Cassette

Keeping the Statim cassette and rack 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 and both sides of the rack 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 these items is very important if you regularly sterilize lubricated instruments.
Coating the entire inside surface of the cassette and rack 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 surfaces also evaporates much more efficiently. Spotting is minimized and
instruments dry much better. STAT-DRI should be applied every 10 cycles, and after every
cassette cleaning.
5.2 Cleaning the Water Reservoir
Check the reservoir for dirt or particles. The reservoir may be cleaned by removing and
cleaning the inside of the reservoir with dishwashing soap or a mild detergent that does
not contain chlorine. Before using, rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of the
detergent. Use of chemicals or other cleaning agents is not recommended and could cause
damage to the unit.

5.3 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.

5.4 Changing the Bacteria Retentive Air Filters

The filters should be replaced every six months or after 500 cycles to maintain an adequate
supply of clean air during the AIR DRYING cycle. The Statim 7000 monitors the number
of cycles your unit has run and provides you a message on your LCD every 500 cycles to
"CHECK / REPLACE - AIR FILTER"
To change the bacterial retentive air filter, follow these steps.
Power the Statim OFF.
1.
2. Remove the water reservoir to access the bacteria filter. Disconnect the rubber tubes
from the filter, remove the filter from the filter bracket and discard. As you remove the
filter from the bracket, note the orientation of the arrow mark on the filter and
the bracket.
3. Before installing the replacement bacteria retentive filter (SciCan p/n 01-102119S)
check that the arrow mark on the filter matches the direction of the arrow on the
bracket.
