Process: STATIS devices can be sterilised in steam autoclave units following local guidelines and autoclave manufacturer's instructions.
Recommended sterilisation methods/parameters for unwrapped and wrapped loads are as follows:
According to American and Canadian standards:
Pressure pulse: 134°C - min. sterilisation holding time 3.5-6 minutes
Pre-vacuum: 134°C - min. sterilisation holding time 3.5-10 minutes
Gravity: 134°C - min. sterilisation holding time 15 minutes
According to EN13060:
For dental handpiece sterilisation a B-cycle or validated S-cycle process should be chosen.
Please note that in case of sterilisation in an S-cycle, the manufacturer of the steriliser has to specify whether dental handpieces can be sterilised in their
S-cycle
Attention: Lubricate the STATIS handpieces before sterilisation! STATIS handpieces can withstand a temperature of up to 138°C.
