5.4 STATIM 2000 / 5000 G4 — Running a Cycle
When the cycle is running, an intermittent buzzing sound will be heard as the pump injects water into the
steam generator. A random clicking sound will also be heard as the exhaust valve opens and closes.
Once the sterilization cycle is complete, a reminder tone will sound as the cycle moves into the Air Drying
phase.
The buzzing noise during the air drying stage is the compressor operating. The air drying phase of the
cycle may be interrupted at any time by pressing the STOP button. The display will then read:
To ensure that wrapped instruments are dry, allow the cycle to run to completion.
If the cassette contains wrapped instruments and the wraps are not dry when the cassette is open,
the instruments must be handled in an aseptic manner for immediate use or resterilized.
When the automatic 60-minute drying stage is finished the display reads:
By default, if the sterilization cycle is successful, the reminder tone sounds for 30 seconds or until the
STOP button is pressed, or the cassette is removed from the unit.
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette will contain hot steam. After the cassette is
removed from the unit, it should be opened to hasten drying of unwrapped instruments.
