Connecting Your STAT
IM
B to a Drain or Waste Bottle
The STAT
IM
B produces waste water when the steam used to sterilise the load is exhausted from the
chamber and condenses into water. This water can be drained from the unit into the waste bottle or directly
to a connection on a drain pipe.
Connecting Directly to a Drain
For direct-to-drain connections, you will need to use the direct-to-drain hardware (provided with the unit).
Any new central drain point installation should be done by a technician. The drain points must be located on
the upper portion of vertical drain pipe ABOVE the P-trap.
1.
Insert the exhaust tube into the fitting on the
back of the unit and pull gently to confirm it is
holding correctly.
2.
Cut the tube to length and slide the other end
into the fitting to the port installed on the drain
pipe.
IMPORTANT!
Avoid excess sagging in the drain
tube, cut the tube to measure.
IMPORTANT!
Tube should not be kinked,
bent or otherwise obstructed. The connection
point to the waste bottle or central drain must
be lower than the autoclave’s support surface
otherwise the unit may not drain correctly.
IMPORTANT!
It is best to have a direct-to-drain waste connection when using an automatic filling
option. Use of an external waste bottle with automatic filling will require careful monitoring and
frequent emptying.
