IMPORTANT:
Drying Performance
The STATIM 2000 and 5000 have been designed to provide a complete sterilization solution for your unwrapped
and wrapped instrument needs: rapid sterilization balanced with rapid drying, by using the SciCan Dri-Tec Drying
Technology.
To dry instruments, the STATIM 2000 uses a combination of forced filtered air and convection heat. The convection
heat is derived from utilizing the remaining heat in the system after the sterilization phase has been completed.
The heat is then captured and released into the cassette to rapidly dry a properly loaded cassette.
The STATIM 5000 also uses forced filtered air and heat generated by the sterilization phase to dry the instruments.
The heat generated by the sterilization phase is absorbed by the drying plates and then transferred directly to the
load. This then results in an accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded STATIM cassette.
Please refer to this operator's manual for instructions on the proper arrangement of instruments in the cassette and
the use of STAT-DRI™ plates (STATIM 5000). By carefully following these directions on how to properly load the
cassette chamber, rapid drying of the load will be achieved.
