at your ngertips

If your Statim unit has been idle for a prolonged period of
inactivity, (e.g. for > 2 weeks) Scican recommend that a series
of checks and set-up procedures are undertaken before the
unit is returned to clinical use so that its operation will not
compromise the ecacy of your instruments when rst used.
The following procedure is based on the assumption that
during the period of inactivity, the unit and its accessories
have been dismantled and stored away from the clinical area.
If that is not the case, then certain parts of this procedure
may be ignored.

1. MAIN UNIT
1.1. Check that all the following component parts of
the system are readily available.
Statim main unit
Cassette(s)
Instrument rack for cassette
Drying plates for cassette (5000 only)
Power cord
Waste bottle complete with lid, connector
tting and condenser
Exhaust tube
1.2. If appropriate, relocate the main unit in the clinical
area where it will be used.
1.3. Check the level of the unit and adjust if necessary.
The level bubble on Statim
Classic unit is visible on the
front, right hand side of the
fascia.
NOTE: that the correct level
is with the bubble in the ‘4
O-clock’ position, NOT in the
centre.
The level bubble on Statim
G4 unit is an electronic level
that is displayed on the touch
screen when the correct menu
selection is made. The menu
order is:
NOTE
That the correct level is with the bubble in the ‘4 O-clock’
position, NOT in the centre. It will be GREEN when in the correct
position and RED when out of position.
1.4. Before returning the unit to service, Scican
recommend cleaning the external surfaces of the
unit with OPTIM™Cleaning and Disinfection wipes.
These have been tested on the external surfaces of
Statim units and are compatible with the materials
used.
NOTE
We do not recommend the use of any other type of chemical on
the unit as they have not been tested. In the absence of OPTIM™
use a soft, lint free cloth moistened with soap and water to wipe
down the surfaces. Dry the surfaces thoroughly after cleaning.
1.5. If appropriate, reassemble the system components
as follows;
I. Insert the exhaust tube 2into the tting on the
back of the unit 3(ensure it is FULLY inserted) and
pull gently to conrm a tight t.
II. Insert the other end of the exhaust tube into the
waste bottle tting. Tighten the tting 4to ensure
the exhaust tube is sealed in the tting. Tip – at
this stage it may be appropriate to check that all
the parts of the tting are tightened to ensure the
condensing coil is not loose and a good seal is
made with the lid.
III. Fill the waste bottle 1to the minimum level
shown on the side of the bottle with water. (A
low-level disinfectant, prepared according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, may be added to the
waste bottle to prevent bacterial growth in the
wastewater.)
IV. Attach (screw) the waste bottle 1and lid assembly
5together and locate the waste bottle assembly
close to the unit but BELOW the unit.
Check that the exhaust tube is not bent or
kinked as this will restrict the ow of steam and
condensate out of the unit.

If the reservoir of the unit was drained
and dryed before the unit was
decommissioned, proceed as follows:
If the reservoir of the unit was NOT drained and
dryed before the unit was decommissioned,
proceed as follows:

2b. REFILLING THE RESERVOIR
2a. REFILLING THE RESERVOIR
3. CASSETTE PREPARATION
2a 1Remove the reservoir lid 1(and lter if tted)
with up to 4 litres of fresh, steam distilled
water.
2a 2Check that the lter is clean, (if not, it may be
cleaned by washing under running water) and
re-inserting it in the reservoir.
2a 3Replace reservoir lid.
2b 1Move the unit
to the edge of the
work surface. The front
leveller feet should be
approximately 12 mm
from the edge.
2b 2Lift the front
left corner of the unit
upward and remove the drain tube 2from the clip
located on the underside of the unit.
2b 3Pull the drain tube outward so the free end can be
positioned over a water container.
2b 4Remove the plug 3from the end of the drain tube and
allow water to drain from the tube into the container.
2b 5On the basis that the unit has been left with water in the
reservoir for a long period of time it is recommended at
this stage that the reservoir should be ushed with clean,
fresh steam distilled water and allowed to drain through
the drain tube until ow has stopped.
2b 6Replace the stopper in the drain tube, lift the front left
corner of the unit upward and reinsert the tube into the
clip on the underside of the unit.
2b 7Push the excess length of tubing back into the space
provided.
2b 8The reservoir may now be lled with up to 4 litres of
fresh, steam distilled water as above.

3.1. Open the cassette and check for residue. If it has not
been cleaned during the decommissioning process,
we recommend cleaning as follows before running the
unit.
3.2. When cleaning, use a dishwashing soap, hand soap or
a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine.
3.3. Scrub the inside and outside of the stainless-steel
surfaces of the cassette with the detergent using a
cleaning pad designed for use with non-stick coated
surfaces to remove any residue. Avoid contact with the
seal.

3.4. After scrubbing, rinse thoroughly with water to
remove all traces of the detergent.
3.5. Coat the entire inside surface with STAT-DRI PLUS
drying agent. This will induce water/condensate to
form in an even coat on the inside surface, without
beading. (The water in contact with the hot cassette
surfaces also evaporates much more eciently.)
4.1. Ensure mains power lead is attached and plugged in
and power ON the unit.
4.2. It is recommended that when the rst cycle is run,
and where appropriate to EN13060 compliant cycle
units, the Statim Helix PCD test device is placed in
the cassette to check the cycle is operating correctly
before running the unit with an instrument load.
4.3. Place the cassette (with PCD) into the unit.
4.4. Run a “Wrapped Hollow” cycle and when the
sterilisation phase is complete, allow AT LEAST 30
minutes of air drying.
4.5. Remove cassette, open, and check the integrity of the
PCD integrator.
PASS
FAIL
4.6. If any residue is evident in the cassette, clean the
cassette as above and run a second cycle (without PCD).
4.7. If the integrator indicates a pass, the unit is now ready to
run the appropriate cycle WITH load.
In the unlikely event that the unit faults for any reason that you cannot
resolve by resetting and running another cycle, or the PCD shows a fail,
please make a note of the fault and contact your local dealer’s service
department for advice.
