1. Introduction
Congratulations on your selection of the STATIM ®7000 Autoclave. We are confident that
you have purchased the finest equipment of its type. The Statim is a counter-top unit that
features a number of sterilizing cycles designed to meet your needs and suitability for
steam sterilization.
The details of installing, operating and servicing your Statim are all contained within this
operator’s manual. To ensure years of safe, trouble-free service please read these instructions
before operating this unit and keep them for future reference. Operational, maintenance and

3. Installation
3.1 Environmental Considerations
There are several factors that may affect the performance of your Statim. Please review
these factors, and select a suitable location in which to install the unit.
• Temperature and Humidity
Avoid installing your Statim in direct sunlight or close to a heat source (e.g. vents or
radiators). The recommended operating temperatures are 15 ˚C to 25 ˚C (59 ˚F to 77 ˚F)
with humidity of 25 % to 70 %.
• Spacing
The vents and openings on the Statim should remain uncovered and unobstructed.
Leave a minimum of 25 mm / 1” between the top and 13 mm / 0.5” between the sides of
the unit and any wall or partition.
• Venting
The Statim should be operated in a clean, dust-free environment.
• Work Surface
The Statim should be placed on a flat, level, water and heat resistant surface. Never install
and operate the unit on a sloped surface.
• Electromagnetic Environment
The Statim has been tested and meets applicable standards for electromagnetic
emissions. While the unit does not emit any radiation, it may itself be affected by other
equipment which does. We recommend that the unit be kept away from potential sources
of interference.
• Electrical Requirements
Use properly grounded and fused power sources with the same voltage rating as indicated
on the label at the back of your Statim. The electrical rating for the Statim 7000 can be
found in the “Specifications” section. The power cord must be plugged into a matching
receptacle that has a dedicated electrical supply directly from the power source.
3.2 Unit Placement
When placing the unit on a counter top, ensure the following:
• Ensure the unit is placed on a strong, flat, level and water and heat
resistant surface.
• The unit should be stable and all four feet should be securely in contact with
the counter surface. This will prevent the unit from moving freely.

3.3 Connecting The Condenser and Waste Bottles
There are two bottles that need to be connected to the Statim 7000: the condenser bottle and
the waste bottle.
1. The condenser bottle includes a lid with 3 connectors (2 large fittings and 1 small
fitting) and a long copper condenser coil assembly.
2. The waste bottle includes the lid with 1 connector (1 small fitting) and a short copper
condenser coil.
NOTE: Do not mix the bottles and parts as this
could cause an overflow!
To connect the two bottles to the Statim 7000,
follow these steps:
1. Insert the 2 exhaust tubes onto the unit
exhaust tube ports and connect tightly.
2. Remove the 2 ferrule nuts from the large
fittings on the bottle with 3 connectors
and slide one nut onto each free end of
the exhaust tubes. Do not coil the
exhaust tubes.
3. Insert the exhaust tubes into the large
fittings and hand tighten the 2 ferrule
nuts.
4. Locate and remove the nut from the
small fitting on the bottle lid.
5. Slide the nut onto one end of the quick
coupling tubing.
6. Insert the tube into the small fitting and securely tighten.
7. Completely fill the condenser bottle with water and replace the lid.
8. Locate and remove the nut from the waste bottle (bottle with small condenser coil).
9. Slide the nut over the free end of the quick connect tubing.
10. Insert the tube into the waste bottle fitting and securely tighten.
11. Leave the waste bottle empty.
12. Place both bottles near and below the unit.
13. Replace the water in the bottles according to the Preventative Maintenance Schedule
to avoid unpleasant odours and discolouration of the contents. A low level disinfectant,
prepared to the manufacturer’s instructions, may be added to remedy this situation.

3.5 Installing the Water or Pass-Through Filter
When the unit is first installed, either the provided water filter or the optional purchased pass-
through filter needs to be installed. Please refer to section 5.7 of this operators manual,
“Changing the Water Filter”
3.6 Filling the Statim Reservoir
The reservoir can be filled in two ways:
1. By removing the reservoir from the unit and filling it seperately and then placing the
reservoir back into the unit.
2. By removing the reservoir cover and pouring water directly into the reservoir.
If using the SciCan water filter (SCWF1), the reservoir can be filled using your local
tap water.
If not using the SciCan water filter, a Water Bypass Cartridge (SCWFBP) must be purchased
and used and then only use steam process distilled water containing less than 5 ppm total
dissolved solids (having a conductivity of less than 10 uS / cm).
The water conductivity can be checked on the LCD display by following procedure in Section
“Reading the water quality”.
