9 Maintaining your STATIM
9.1 Cleaning the Cassette
Keeping the STATIM cassette clean is good clinical practice and assists in the function of the unit. SciCan
recommends that the interior surface be cleaned at least once a week. Use dishwashing 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. Cleaning the inside of your cassette is very important if you regularly sterilize lubricated
instruments.
9.2 Cleaning the Water Reservoir Filter
The water reservoir filter should be cleaned at least once a week or when required. The filter can easily be
removed and cleaned by placing the filter upside down under running water to wash away the particles
until clean, and then placed back into the reservoir opening. If a replacement water reservoir filter is
required, order part number 01-109300S.
9.3 Cleaning the Reservoir
Check the inside of the reservoir for dirt or particles. To clean the reservoir, drain it, remove any visible
particles, rinse with steam process distilled water or VistaPure deionized water ONLY and drain it
again. Do not use chemicals or cleaning agents as these can cause damage to the unit .
9.4 Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces
Use a soft cloth moistened with soap and water to clean all exterior surfaces. Do not use harsh cleaning
chemicals or disinfectants.
