How to troubleshoot power issues with my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment doesn't power on, check that it's plugged into a properly grounded outlet and the power cord is firmly connected at the rear. Try a different circuit. Power the unit off for 10 seconds, then back on. Also, check the condition of the line circuit breaker or fuse.
What to do if my SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'REFILL RESERVOIR'?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'REFILL RESERVOIR' and won't start, it means the water level in the reservoir is low. Simply refill the reservoir.
Why does my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment say 'WATER QUALITY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE'?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'WATER QUALITY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE' and won't start, it's likely due to using improperly distilled water. Empty the reservoir and refill it with steam-process distilled water that has less than 5 ppm total dissolved solids (conductivity less than 10 µS / cm). Use a water conductivity meter to check the water quality before refilling.
How to fix SciCan Statim 5000 that does not power ON?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment isn't powering on, make sure it's plugged into a properly grounded outlet and that the power cord is firmly seated at the rear of the machine. Try using a different electrical circuit. Power the unit OFF for 10 seconds, then power it back ON. Also, check the condition of the line circuit breaker or fuse.
What to do if SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment shows 'CYCLE INTERRUPTED' error?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'CYCLE INTERRUPTED — NOT STERILE', 'CYCLE ABORTED — NOT STERILE' or 'CYCLE FAULT' messages, first record the CYCLE FAULT number. Wait a few minutes before attempting another cycle. Inspect the cassette to ensure the holes in the back of the seal are perfectly aligned and the flexible lip of the seal is completely free. Check the exhaust tube for kinks or obstructions. If the tube cannot be straightened, remove it from the push-in fitting attached to the Statim by depressing the collar on the fitting and pulling firmly on the tube with your other hand. Also, ensure the Statim hasn't been exposed to electrical interference, referring to the Installation section dealing with Environmental Considerations.
What to do if there is water under my SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If you find water under the SciCan Laboratory Equipment during operation, it could be a leaking cassette. Check the cassette seal for misalignment or damage and replace it if necessary. Be careful, as the metal parts will be hot, and the cassette will contain hot steam. Attempt another cycle.
What does 'Drying interrupted – LOAD NOT STERILE' mean on my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment?
If you see the 'Drying interrupted – LOAD NOT STERILE' message on your SciCan Laboratory Equipment, it likely means the STOP button was pressed during the drying phase. Repackage the instruments if necessary, and rerun another sterilization cycle.
How to improve drying in SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If instruments are not drying in your SciCan Laboratory Equipment, ensure the cycle completes fully. Proper loading of instruments in the cassette is important. Verify the unit is level. Inspect air filters and replace them if dirty. Clean the cassette's interior and apply Stat-Dri / Stat-Dri Plus drying agent. Also, check the exhaust tube for any kinks.
What to do if SciCan Laboratory Equipment shows 'Cycle aborted, NOT STERILE and CYCLE FAULT' messages?
If you see 'Cycle aborted, NOT STERILE and CYCLE FAULT' messages on your SciCan Laboratory Equipment, first, record the CYCLE FAULT number. Then, wait a few minutes before attempting another cycle. If it happens again, remove the cassette and check that the holes in the back of the seal are perfectly aligned and the flexible lip of the seal is completely free. Ensure there are no kinks or obstructions in the exhaust tube. Also, check that the Statim hasn't been exposed to electrical interference. If the problem continues, record the cycle fault message number and contact your dealer.
