10 Troubleshooting your STATIM
Problem
Unit does not power ON.
There is water under the machine.
Instruments do not dry.
Solution
Check that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded outlet and that
the power cord is firmly seated at the rear of the machine.
Try another circuit. Power unit OFF for 10 seconds and then power
ON again.
Check the condition of the line circuit breaker or fuse.
Check that water was not spilled when refilling the reservoir. Make
sure the plug in the exhaust tube is secured. Remove and reinsert
the cassette. Attempt another cycle.
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette will contain
hot steam.
The cassette is leaking. If water drips from the underside of the unit
during operation, check the cassette seal for misalignment or damage
and replace the seal if required.
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette will contain
hot steam.
Attempt another cycle. If it still leaks attempt another cycle using a
different cassette if possible.
If the leak persists, turn the unit OFF, remove and unload the cassette,
unplug the unit, and call your dealer.
Best drying occurs when the cycle continues to completion. Allow the
cycle to finish. Make sure the instruments are loaded correctly in the
cassette. Refer to Section 4.4 Preparing and Loading Instruments.
Check the unit leveling.
Check air/biological filters and replace if dirty.
Clean the inside of the cassette and treat with STAT-DRI Plus drying
agent. Refer to Section 9.1 Cleaning the Cassette.
Examine the exhaust tube (tube to the waste bottle) for kinks. If
kinked, straighten the tube. If the tube cannot be straightened,
remove it from the push-in fitting attached to the STATIM. Depress
the collar on the fitting and with the other hand pull firmly on the tube.
Once the tube is free of the fitting, cut the damaged section of tubing
away using a sharp instrument. Be sure that you leave enough tube to
reach the unit when you re-attach the tube to the exhaust fitting.
If the tube is too short to remove a section, contact your SciCan
dealer for a replacement.
Make sure the compressor is working. To check, remove the exhaust
tube from the waste bottle. Start the Air Drying Only Cycle, and place
the free end into a glass of water. If there is not a strong, steady flow
of bubbles, the compressor is not functioning properly. Contact your
SciCan dealer.
