SciCan Statim 5000 2000
Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers
Today's challenge of infection control and the demands of modern patient treatment are met with SciCan's state of the art sterilization technology. In 1989, SciCan introduced the first STATIM Cassette Autoclave to the marketplace. Today, dental and medical practitioners in over 60 countries world wide rely on Statim to protect their patients and staff from infection from contaminated instruments.
Although Statim table top autoclaves sterilizers were originally developed for use in Dental applications, Statim delivers complete sterilization solutions for Endoscopy, Gynecology, Ophthalmology and other medical areas.
Since SciCan Statim table top autoclaves sterilizers have won several design and product awards in Canada and Europe. As sales continue to grow, several versions of innovative SciCan autoclaves have been introduced to thousands of dental and medical offices and hospitals throughout the world.
Effective Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer sterilization
Statim tabletop autoclaves sterilizers biological and physical effectiveness has been proven in tests for hollow and solid instruments at many internationally recognized institutes including: University Hospital of London, Canada; Brooks Air Force Base, United States; The University of Liverpool, England; Institute Pasteur, France, and the University of Kiel, Germany.
Reliable Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer sterilization
Statim tabletop autoclaves sterilizers provide a reliable sterilization system that's compact enough to fit in patient treatment areas, and fast enough to provide sterilization of instruments between patients. The Statim 2000 and 5000 take just 6 and 9 minutes, respectively, for a complete sterilization cycle. Light, thin walled cassettes promote rapid heating and cooling, further minimizing overall process time.
Gentle on Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer sterilization instruments
Statim tabletop autoclaves sterilizers prolong the life of expensive and delicate instruments with gentle sterilization. The steam injector system provides temperature consistency and expels the air that causes oxidation in conventional autoclaves. Rapid heating and cooling dramatically cuts instrument exposure to heat. Also, a built in air pump flushes the chamber with filtered dry air, further reducing humidity. Independent tests show that carbide burrs sterilized in the Statim still easily meet manufacturer's specifications, even after 600 cycles.
Easy to use and maintain Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers
Statim table top autoclaves sterilizers are fast, safe, and gentle means of sterilization. The keypad operation and helpful display-prompts make Statim user-friendly. It is also self-diagnosing - if a problem occurs, it will be indicated on the electronic display.
Simple Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer operation
Insert the cassette containing the instruments in need of sterilization and then choose from one of three sterilization cycles, which are pre-set, from the front panel. The cycles include a Wrapped Instrument Cycle, Unwrapped Instrument Cycle, Rubber and Plastics Cycle, and (Statim 5000 only) a Heavy Duty Cycle.
After a cycle is chosen and the start button is pressed, the steam generator heats to the optimum temperature. A defined volume of distilled water is then pumped and converted to steam. The wall of steam is injected into the pressure chamber and cassette, which is loaded with contaminated instruments. Air is purged as the steam courses through the cassette and is continuously expelled into a condenser flask.
After the sterilizing cycle is completed, a small air compressor switches on, drying and cooling the instruments rapidly (Statim 2000 and 5000 only). The Statim system completely sterilizes instruments within international standards and it only uses clean distilled water, preventing the build up of rust and other contaminants.

Questions and Answers
Q: What type of water do I use with Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers ?
A: Always use steam distilled water in the STATIM Cassette Autoclave. Other water sources will damage the unit and void the warranty.
Q: How do I test the quality of distilled water with the Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers?
A: If purchasing distilled water, SciCan recommends using a water conductivity tester (SciCan part no. 01-103139S) to check for impurities. If you would like to produce your own distilled water, take a look at SciCan's water distiller product offering.
Q: How do I prepare instruments for use with Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers?
A: Thoroughly wash, rinse, and dry all instruments before inserting into the Statim.
Q: How often do I clean the interior and exterior of the cassette for use with Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizers ?
A: Keeping the Statim cassette clean is good clinical practice. The interior surface of the cassette should be cleaned at least once a week with a mild dishwashing soap. (For instructions, see the Statim Operators Manual). To promote quick drying, we recommend spraying the cassette lid and tray with Stat-dri after each cleaning. After spraying, let the cassette lid and tray dry completely.
Q: How do I lubricate the Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer rubber cassette seal?
A: Lubricate the rubber cassette seal with a mild liquid soap. In a busy practice, this should be done 1-2 times per week.
Q: What do I do if steam or a puddle of water is detected during or after a Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer cycle?
A: If steam or a puddle of water is detected during or after a cycle, check the cassette seal. This problem may be corrected by doing the following:
a) reseating the seal
b) re-lubricating the seal and probe holes
c) cleaning the outside edge of the tray
Q: What if I receive an error code when using the Statim 5000 or Statim 2000 Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer?
A: If the LCD displays a NOT STERILE message, note the error code and consult your Operators Manual.
Q: Do I need to ensure that the Statim Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer is level before operating?
A: Yes. Before operating your Statim autoclave, make sure it rests on a flat and level surface. If you are uncertain, the level indicator on the front panel and leveler feet underneath the unit will help you correct any problems. (Align the bubble in the level indicator to the right front quadrant of the target.)
Q: What do I do if my Statim Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer has not been run for several days?
A: If you do not operate your Statim autoclave for several days, drain the reservoir.
Q: How should I drain the reservoir of the Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer?
A: To empty the reservoir, use the drain tube. If your Statim does not have a drain tube, a hand pump will suffice. Except when filling or emptying the reservoir, keep the reservoir cap securely fastened at all times.
Q: What should I do if the Statim Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer is on, but not in use?
A: If your Statim is powered ON but not in use, pull the cassette 1-2cm out of the unit. This will make the unit inactive until the cassette is reinserted and will prolong the life of your unit.
Q: How do I recognize whether my Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer filter needs replacement?
A: Monitor the white air filter at the back of the unit. A dirty filter will cause poor drying. If the filter has turned gray, it is in need of replacement (see the maintenance section of the Operator's Manual).6
Q: How do I transport my Statim Tabletop Countertop Sterilizer?
A: Whenever you need to transport your Statim, make sure you empty the water reservoir and screw-in the feet. Repack your Statim in the original packing materials to reduce any damage.
