3.4.
After scrubbing, rinse thoroughly with water to
remove all traces of the detergent.
3.5.
Coat the entire inside surface with STAT-DRI PLUS
drying agent. This will induce water/condensate to
form in an even coat on the inside surface, without
beading. (The water in contact with the hot cassette
surfaces also evaporates much more efficiently.)
4.1.
Ensure mains power lead is attached and plugged in
and power ON the unit.
4.2.
It is recommended that when the first cycle is run,
and where appropriate to EN13060 compliant cycle
units, the Statim Helix PCD test device is placed in
the cassette to check the cycle is operating correctly
before running the unit with an instrument load.
4.3.
Place the cassette (with PCD) into the unit.
4.4.
Run a
“Wrapped Hollow”
cycle and when the
sterilisation phase is complete,
allow AT LEAST 30
minutes of air drying.
4.5.
Remove cassette, open, and check the integrity of the
PCD integrator.
PASS
FAIL
4.6.
If any residue is evident in the cassette, clean the
cassette as above and run a second cycle (without PCD).
4.7.
If the integrator indicates a pass, the unit is now ready to
run the appropriate cycle WITH load.
In the unlikely event that the unit faults for any reason that you cannot
resolve by resetting and running another cycle, or the PCD shows a fail,
please make a note of the fault and contact your local dealer’s service
department for advice.
