4.2 Preparing and Loading Instruments
Before loading any instruments into the Statim, consult the instrument
manufacturer’s reprocessing instructions.
• Clean Instruments
Clean and rinse all instruments before loading them into the cassette.
Disinfectant residues and solid debris may inhibit sterilization and damage the
instruments, the sterilization chamber, and the Statim. Lubricated instruments
must be wiped thoroughly and any excess lubricant should be removed before
loading.
• Solid Instruments
Arrange unwrapped instruments in the instrument basket so that they do not
touch one another. This ensures that steam reaches all surfaces.
Instruments must not be stacked or piled in the instrument basket as this will
impede the sterilization process.
The Statim 900J provides cycles to sterilize instruments for both immediate and
future use.
• Immediate use
Use the Solid Instrument cycle only if the instruments are going to be used
immediately following sterilization. Handpieces should be sterilized in the Hollow
or Wrapped instrument cycle even for immediate use. Since the item is not
wrapped for processing, the sterilized item should be used immediately (as soon
as it cools off) and must be protected from re-contamination during transport to
the point of use. The rapid timing of the Solid Instrument cycle (about 6 minutes)
is sufficient to sterilize instruments between patients.
• Hollow or Wrapped Instruments
If the instruments are going to be stored for future use, place the instruments
into autoclave bags according to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions.
Pouch each instrument individually. Place one pouch on the bottom rack and
another one on the top rack of the basket. The Statim 900J unit does not
have an active drying process and handling of wet pouches will compromise
the sterility of the instruments. Following sterilization, the wet pouches may
be allowed to dry within the drawer of the unit or can be transported to the
cabinet in the basket and allowed to dry in the basket prior to further handling.
Care should be taken that the basket and contents remain protected from re-
contamination during this drying period. The use of cloth wraps in the Statim is
not recommended.
SciCan recommends the use of plastic / paper autoclave bags such as SPS™,
Medi-Plus™ and Chex All II™. Steri-Stik™ paper / paper may also be used. The
use of cloth wraps in the Statim is not recommended. Loosely pack instruments
in the bags to allow steam penetration to all instrument surfaces.
Care must be taken to ensure that the combined weight of the loaded bags does
not exceed 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs).
