4 Using Cassettes and Preparing Instruments
Removing the Cassette:
1. Grasp the cassette handle with one hand and pull out from the unit.
2. As the cassette emerges from the unit, grasp the carry handle with your free hand and lift it upwards.
3. Pull the cassette clear from the unit and set down on a firm surface.
Disengaging the cassette
When not in use, the cassette should be disengaged. To disengage the cassette, grasp the handle
and pull the cassette out until there is a 15 mm to 20 mm (1 / 2 to 3 / 4") gap between the front of the
STATIM 5000 G4 and the cassette handle.

4.3 Using Drying Plates with the STATIM 5000 G4

The STATIM 5000 G4 cassette comes with two racks, one with drying plates affixed and another without.
To ensure optimal drying of instruments within autoclave bags use the rack with drying plates.

4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments

Before loading any instruments into the STATIM, consult the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions.
Clean Instruments
Clean and rinse all instruments before loading them into the cassette. Disinfectant residues and solid
debris may inhibit sterilization and damage the instruments, the cassette, and the STATIM. Lubricated
instruments must be wiped thoroughly and any excess lubricant should be removed before loading.
Unwrapped Instruments
Arrange unwrapped instruments on the rack in the tray so that they do not touch one another. This
ensures that steam reaches all surfaces and will promote drying.
Instruments must not be stacked or piled in the cassettes, as this will impede the sterilization process.
