STATIM  products in South Africa

Overview

Today's challenge of infection control and the demands of modern patient treatment are met with SciCan's state of the art sterilization technology. In 1989, SciCan introduced the first STATIM Cassette Autoclave® to the marketplace. Today, dental and medical practitioners in over 60 countries world wide rely on StatIM to protect their patients and staff from infection from contaminated instruments.

Although StatIM was originally developed for use in Dental applications, StatIM delivers complete sterilization solutions for Endoscopy, Gynecology, Ophthalmology and other medical areas.

Since SciCan began manufacturing, its autoclaves have won several design and product awards in Canada and Europe. As sales continue to grow, several versions of innovative SciCan autoclaves have been introduced to thousands of dental and medical offices and hospitals throughout the world.

• Effective sterilization
  The Statim's biological and physical effectiveness has been proven in tests for hollow and solid instruments at many internationally recognized institutes including: University Hospital of London, Canada; Brooks Air Force Base, United States; The University of Liverpool, England; Institute Pasteur, France, and the University of Kiel, Germany.
• Reliable
  StatIM is a reliable sterilization system that's compact enough to fit in patient treatment areas, and fast enough to provide sterilization of instruments between patients. The StatIM 900, 2000, 5000 take just 6 and 9 minutes, respectively, for a complete sterilization cycle. Light, thin-walled cassettes promote rapid heating and cooling, further minimizing overall process time.
• Gentle on instruments
  The StatIM prolongs the life of expensive and delicate instruments with gentle sterilization. The steam injector system provides temperature consistency and expels the air that causes oxidation in conventional autoclaves. Rapid heating and cooling dramatically cuts instrument exposure to heat. Also, a built in air pump flushes the chamber with filtered dry air, further reducing humidity. Independent tests show that carbide burrs sterilized in the StatIM still easily meet manufacturer's specifications, even after 600 cycles.
• Easy to use and maintain
  The StatIM is a fast, safe, and gentle means of sterilization. The keypad operation and helpful display-prompts make StatIM user-friendly. It is also self-diagnosing - if a problem occurs, it will be indicated on the electronic display.
• Simple operation
  Insert the cassette containing the instruments in need of sterilization and then choose from one of three sterilization cycles, which are pre-set, from the front panel. The cycles include a Wrapped Instrument Cycle, Unwrapped Instrument Cycle, Rubber and Plastics Cycle, and (StatIM 5000 only) a Heavy Duty Cycle.

After a cycle is chosen and the start button is pressed, the steam generator heats to the optimum temperature. A defined volume of distilled water is then pumped and converted to steam. The wall of steam is injected into the pressure chamber and cassette, which is loaded with contaminated instruments. Air is purged as the steam courses through the cassette and is continuously expelled into a condenser flask.

After the sterilizing cycle is completed, a small air compressor switches on, drying and cooling the instruments rapidly (StatIM 2000 and 5000 only). The StatIM system completely sterilizes instruments within international standards and it only uses clean distilled water, preventing the build up of rust and other contaminants.

Note: See top left hand menu for distillers - ultrapure water is required for use in the Autoclaves
