Draining the Reservoir
If you have to service the reservoir, ship
the STAT
IM, or move the unit more than
a short distance, the reservoir will need
to be drained to prevent potential water
damage to the internal components
(particularly the electronic and electrical
components) of the unit.
Also, in some regions of the world, local
or national guidelines recommend routine
draining and cleaning of the reservoir to
reduce the potential of the accumulation
of contaminants in the feed water.
To drain the water from the reservoir, carefully move the STAT
IM to the edge of the work surface
and proceed as follows (see Figure 19):
• The front leveler feet (1) should be approximately 12 mm (1/2 inch) from the edge so the
unit remains securely seated on the work surface.
• Lift the front left corner of the STAT
IM upward and remove the drain tube (2) from the clip
(3) located on the underside of the unit. Gently pull the tube out as far as possible so the
free end can be positioned over a container when the unit is lowered back to the work
surface.
• Remove the stopper (4) from the end of the drain tube and allow the water to drain from
the reservoir.
• When water no longer drips from the drain tube, replace the stopper.
• Lift the front left corner of the STAT
IM upward and re-insert the tube into the clip on the
underside of the unit. Push the excess length of tubing back into the unit.
Cleaning the Cassette
Keeping the STAT
IM cassette clean is good clinical
practice and assists in the proper functioning of the unit.
SciCan recommends that the interior surface be cleaned
at least once a week. Cleaning the inside of your cassette
is very important if you regularly sterilize lubricated
instruments.
Use dish washing soap or a mild detergent that does not
contain chlorine. Scrub the inside of the cassette with
a cleaning pad designed for use with Teflon™ coated
surfaces. After scouring, rinse thoroughly with water to
remove all traces of the detergent.
Coating the entire inside surface with STAT-DRI drying agent induces water to form an even coat
on the inside surface, without beading. The water in contact with the hot cassette surfaces also
evaporates much more efficiently. Spotting is minimized and instruments dry much better.
