4.6 Selecting a Cycle
The Statim 2000S and 5000S have seven sterilization cycles, each designed to
sterilize using the parameters specified. Each cycle can be selected by pressing
the UNWRAPPED, WRAPPED or RUBBER / PLASTIC cycle buttons.
The types of instruments, sterilization requirements and a graph depicting each cycle
characteristics are described over the following pages.
1. Unwrapped Cycles
The Statim 2000S and 5000S feature two 134˚C type S and one 134˚C type N
UNWRAPPED sterilization cycles. At the end of the cycle’s sterilization phase, air drying will
commence for one hour.
Air-drying can be interrupted at
any
time by pressing the STOP button.
To select one of these cycles:
Press the UNWRAPPED
cycle button to scroll through the available
cycles.
Once the desired cycle has been
selected, press the START button.
The unit memory remembers the last
cycle run and then displays this first when
the unit is powered on.
