Drying Performance
The STATIM 2000 G4 and 5000 G4 have been designed to provide a complete sterilization solution for
your unwrapped and wrapped instrument needs: Rapid sterilization balanced with rapid drying through
the use of SciCan's Dri-Tec Drying Technology.
To dry instruments, the STATIM 2000 G4 uses a combination of forced filtered air and convection heat.
The convection heat is derived from utilizing the remaining heat in the system after the sterilization phase
has been completed. The heat is then captured and released into the cassette to rapidly dry a properly
loaded cassette.
The STATIM 5000 G4 also uses forced filtered air and heat generated by the sterilization phase to dry
the instruments. The heat generated by the sterilization phase is absorbed by the drying plates and then
transferred directly to the load. This then results in the accelerated, rapid drying of a properly loaded
STATIM cassette.
Please refer to Section 4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments for instructions on the proper arrangement
of instruments in the cassette and the use of Drying plates (STATIM 5000 G4). By carefully following these
directions on how to properly load the cassette chamber, rapid drying of the load will be achieved.
