Setting Drying Time; Setting The Stand-By Mode - SciCan STATCLAVE G4 Operator's Manual

At the end of the cycle, you will be prompted to report
whether the indicators have passed and whether the load is dry
(as applicable).
Biological indicator/spore test results are available at a different time than chemical indicators but you still have the option to
add the BI/spore test results to the documentation report when these results are available.
On the home screen, the STATCLAVE will indicate a result
is pending by displaying a document icon over the settings
icon (see image at right).
Pressing this icon will lead you to a screen that allows you to
input the BI/spore test results.
CAUTION! Instruments in pouches or wraps that are not completely dry must be used immediately or reprocessed.

Setting the Stand-By Mode

Using this setting will reduce the warm-up time between cycles by keeping the chamber at a temperature that is optimal for
your office's level of use.
› STAND-BY LOW: For low to average use. Provides a balance between keeping the chamber at 70°C and using a
minimum of electricity.
› STAND-BY HIGH: For high use. Optimizes your STATCLAVE for speed by keeping the chamber at 120°C. This is the
unit's default setting.
› STAND-BY OFF: For infrequent use. In this setting, the wait time will be longer (up to 12 minutes from a cold start).
