3 Setting up your STATIM 3.2 Levelling your Unit When placing your unit on a counter top, ensure it is stable and that all four feet are securely in contact with the counter surface. This will prevent the unit from moving freely. Next, use the level indicator bubble function in the settings menu to adjust the three leveler feet so that the unit drains properly.
3 Setting up your STATIM 3.3 Connecting the Waste Bottle The waste bottle 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): 1.
3 Setting up your STATIM 3.4 Filling the Water 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.
3 Setting up your STATIM 3.7 Setting the Time 2. Scroll to and select. Time 3. From the TIME screen, use the keypad to set the time. Press to save and to return to the Setup menu. 4.

Using the STAT-DRI™ Drying Agent Treatment of the interior surfaces of the cassette with the STAT-DRI drying agent, provided with your unit, will enhance the drying process. (Replacement bottles are available from SciCan, order number 2OZPLUS, 8OZPLUST, 32OZPLUS). Page 19...
3. Place the carry handle into the closed position. • Inserting the Cassette into the STATIM 5000 G4: 1. Hold the cassette handle in one hand and the carry handle in the other as shown in Figure 8. 2. Place the end of the cassette into the unit and drop the carry handle into its closed position.
4.3 Using Drying Plates with the STATIM 5000 G4 The STATIM 5000 G4 cassette comes with two racks, one with drying plates affixed and another without. To ensure optimal drying of instruments within autoclave bags use the rack with drying plates.
Page 22
The use of cloth wraps in the STATIM is not recommended. SciCan recommends the use of paper / paper and plastic / paper autoclave bags such as SPS™, Medi-Plus™ and Chex All™. Steri-Stik™ paper / paper autoclave bags may also be used. The use of cloth wraps in the STATIM is not recommended.
For the STATIM 5000 units in the United States, SciCan recommends using the SciCan ENSURE™ or 3M Attest™ biological monitoring system for routine monitoring. This system consists of self contained biological indicators and incubators.
4 Using Cassettes and Preparing Instruments Because the turnaround time for the SciCan ENSURE is up to 24 hours, and 3M Attest is up to 48 hours, it is recommended that the tests be conducted so that the incubation period occurs during a period of planned downtime such as the last cycle before a weekend.
5 Using your STATIM Before using your STATIM for the first time, make sure the reservoir is full and the pump is properly primed. Refer to Sections Filling the Reservoir and Priming the Pump for detailed instructions. 5.1 Preparing Unit for Use Once the unit is installed and before any instruments are sterilized, run two Wrapped Cycles (see Section STATIM 2000 / 5000 G4 - Running a Cycle.
Page 26
5 Using your STATIM 5.2.2. Wrapped Cycle (STATIM 2000 G4) The Wrapped Cycle is used to sterilize up to 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs) of solid and hollow metal instruments which have been sealed in paper / paper, or paper / plastic autoclave bags. Dental handpieces may be sterilized in this cycle.
Page 27
5 Using your STATIM 5.2.4. Air Dry Only Cycle (STATIM 2000 G4) This is not a sterilization cycle. The load is considered sterile after the successful completion of the sterilization phase of the cycle. The Air Dry phase starts automatically after each sterilizing cycle and runs for 30 minutes. Air drying may be interrupted by pressing the STOP button anytime after the sterilization phase of the cycle is complete.
The sterilization temperature in the cassette is 132˚ C (270˚ F) for USA and 134˚ C (273˚ F) for all other countries, and the holding time is 3.5 minutes. See Section STATIM 5000 G4 — Cassette and Section Preparing and Loading Instruments before running this cycle.

8 Maintaining your STATIM 8.7 Maintaining Fluid Levels 1. The water reservoir level is continually monitored by your STATIM. If the reservoir is low, a red X will appear on the water icon of the cycle select screen. Press the icon to go to the next screen to confirm that it is a water level issue and not a water quality issue.
8 Maintaining your STATIM 8.9 Preventative Maintenance Schedules To ensure trouble-free performance, both the operator and the dealer must follow a preventative maintenance schedule. NOTE: Please refer to your National, Regional, State or Safety laws for any additional reoccurring user testing that may be required.
