5 Using your STATIM

Before using your STATIM for the first time, make sure the reservoir is full and the pump is properly
primed. Refer to Sections Filling the Reservoir and Priming the Pump for detailed instructions.

5.1 Preparing Unit for Use

Once the unit is installed and before any instruments are sterilized, run two Wrapped Cycles (see
Section 5.4 STATIM 2000 / 5000 G4 - Running a Cycle. Remove the cassette once it has cooled. Clean
the top (lid) and bottom (tray) sections using a soft cloth to wipe the inside surfaces and then rinse
thoroughly with tap water. Once the cassette is clean and dry, coat the inside surfaces with STAT-DRI.
5.2 STATIM 2000 G4 — Selecting a Cycle
The STATIM 2000 G4 has three sterilization cycles, each designed to sterilize a specific type of
instrument. The instruments will remain sterile after a successful cycle until the cassette is removed from
the autoclave. At the end of each sterilization cycle, microbiologically filtered air-drying will commence
for 60 minutes by default. Air-drying can be interrupted at any time.
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 allow the wrapped cycle to run until the
air-dry phase is complete.
The types of instruments, sterilization requirements, and a graph depicting each cycle are described
over the next few pages. Consult the Instrument Weight Guide for information on how to make up an
appropriate load for the masses specified for individual cycles.
5.2.1. Unwrapped Cycle
(STATIM 2000 G4)
The Unwrapped Cycle is a general purpose
sterilization cycle used to sterilize up to 1.0 kg
(2.2 lbs) of solid metal instruments such as pliers,
burrs, scalers and forceps. Dental handpieces
may be sterilized in this cycle.
To select the Unwrapped Cycle, press the Unwrapped
Cycle button, then press the START button.
The sterilization temperature in the cassette is 134 ˚C (273 ˚F) and the holding time is 3.5 minutes.
See Section 4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments before running this cycle.
