2 Important Information

2.1 Disclaimers

Use only steam-process distilled water or VistaPure deionized water in your STATIM*. Never use tap
water.
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.
All elements of this book are common to both STATIM 2000 G4 and STATIM 5000 G4 except when noted.
IMPORTANT: Follow local guidelines governing verification of the sterilization procedure.
Drying Performance
The STATIM 2000 G4 and 5000 G4 have been designed to provide a complete sterilization solution for
your unwrapped and wrapped instrument needs: Rapid sterilization balanced with rapid drying through
the use of SciCan's Dri-Tec Drying Technology.
To dry instruments, the STATIM 2000 G4 uses a combination of forced filtered air and convection heat.
The convection heat is derived from utilizing the remaining heat in the system after the sterilization phase
has been completed. The heat is then captured and released into the cassette to rapidly dry a properly
loaded cassette.
The STATIM 5000 G4 also uses forced filtered air and heat generated by the sterilization phase to dry
the instruments. The heat generated by the sterilization phase is absorbed by the drying plates and then
transferred directly to the load. This then results in the accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded
STATIM cassette.
Please refer to Section 4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments for instructions on the proper arrangement
of instruments in the cassette and the use of Drying plates (STATIM 5000 G4). By carefully following these
directions on how to properly load the cassette chamber, rapid drying of the load will be achieved.
*Although, SciCan recommends the use of steam-processed distilled water in the STATIM and Bravo autoclaves, SciCan has tested and approved the deionized
water from the VistaPure and found it to be acceptable for these units. The VistaPure is an advanced water system that produces two grades of high quality water,
including deionized water suitable for autoclaves, making it a viable alternative to steam distilled water. Other water systems have not been tested or approved for use
with SciCan sterilizers.
