4. Instructions For Use

• All Instruments

The Statim is NOT intended for sterilizing textiles, liquids or biomedical waste.

Instruments will remain sterile after a successful cycle until the cassette is disengaged

from the unit. Unwrapped instruments, once exposed to ambient or external conditions,

cannot be maintained in a sterile state. If sterile storage is desired, wrap the instruments

to be sterilized in autoclave bags, according to the instrument manufacturer’s

instructions, and then allow the wrapped cycle to run until the air-dry phase is complete.

Best Practice: Allow instruments (wrapped or unwrapped) to dry completely prior to

handling. Wrapped or pouched instruments must not touch each other to promote

drying and enable effective sterilization.

SciCan recommends the final user carefully choose the most appropriate sterilization

cycle according to the recommendations of their leading infection control authorities and

local regulatory guidelines / recommendations.

• Routine Monitoring

Chemical process indicators suitable for steam sterilizers should be included in or on

each package or load being sterilized. In addition, the weekly use of biological

indicators, which allow you to ascertain whether the instruments have been exposed

to sterilization conditions, is recommended. For Statim 5000 units in the United States,

SciCan recommends using the 3M Attest™ biological monitoring system for routine

monitoring. This system consists of self contained biological indicators and incubators.

It is important to select the correct biological indicator for the cycle being tested.

4.5 Using Biological/Chemical Indicators

For detailed instructions on how to handle, use and dispose of both the biological

and chemical indicators, please consult the product literature accompanying the

3M Attest™ biological indicators or contact the manufacturer directly.

To use the indicators with the Statim, follow these steps:

1. Place the appropriate biological indicator in the Statim chamber.

2. Process the load in the sterilizer according to your usual practice.

3. Ensure that the message “Cycle Complete” is displayed on the LCD after the

cycle is finished.
