Drying Performance

The Statim 2000S and 5000S have been designed to provide a complete sterilization
solution for your unwrapped and wrapped instrument needs: rapid sterilization balanced with
rapid drying, by using the SciCan Dri-Tec Drying Technology.
The Statim 2000S uses convection heat to dry instruments by utilizing the remaining heat
in the system after the sterilization phase. Heat is captured and released in the cassette to
rapidly dry a properly loaded Statim cassette.
The Statim 5000S uses heat generated by the sterilization phase which is absorbed by
the drying plates. The heat is transferred from drying plates directly to the load resulting in
accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded Statim cassette.
Please refer to this operator's manual for instructions on the proper arrangement of
instruments in the cassette and the use of Stat-Dri plates (Statim 5000S). By carefully
following these directions on how to properly load the cassette chamber, rapid drying of the
load will be achieved.
