4.4 Selecting a Cycle
The Statim 900J Autoclave has been designed expressly for the rapid
sterilization of instruments intended for immediate use. This allows you to
sterilize instruments between patients. Quick drying and cooling of the load
at the end of the cycle is achieved through evaporation after the automatic
opening of the sterilzation chamber drawer. Because of the unique operation
of the Statim 900J, once the instruments are exposed to ambient conditions,
their continued sterility cannot be assured. It is recommended to use these
instruments immediately after they are comfortable to the touch. Each cycle can
be selected by pressing the Solid Instrument, Hollow or Wrapped Instrument, or
Rubber / Plastic buttons.
The types of instruments, sterilization requirements and a graph depicting each
cycle characteristics are described over the following pages.
The Statim 900J has three sterilization cycles, each designed to sterilize a
specific type of instrument. The instruments will remain sterile after a successful
cycle until the drawer is opened. The types of instruments, sterilization
requirements, and a graph depicting each cycle are described over the next few
pages. Consult the Instrument Mass Guide in Section 4.3 for information on how
to make up an appropriate load for the masses specified for individual cycles.
1. Solid Instrument Cycle
The Solid Instrument Cycle is used to sterilize solid metal instruments free from
deep cavities or holes, such as pliers, burrs, scalers and forceps.
The maximum recommended load for the Solid Instrument Cycle is 1.0 kg.
To select this cycle, press the Solid Instrument Cycle button. The cycle then
starts automatically. This cycle is illustrated in the graph below. During the
sterilizing phase of this cycle, the temperature in the chamber is maintained at
a minimun of 134ºC for 3.5 minutes. See Preparing and Loading Instruments
before running this cycle.
