3.9 Preparing Unit for Use
Once the unit is installed and before any instruments are sterilized, run two Wrapped Cycles (see Section 4.8 Statim 2000 – Running a Cycle and 4.10 Statim 5000 – Running a Cycle). Remove the cassette once it has cooled. Clean the top (lid) and bottom (tray) sections using a soft cloth to wipe the inside surfaces and then rinse thoroughly with tap water. Once the cassette is clean and dry, coat the inside surfaces with STAT-DRI.
STAT-DRI
Treatment of the interior surfaces of the cassette with the STAT-DRI drying agent, provided with your unit, will enhance the drying process. (Replacement bottles are available from SciCan, order number 2OZPLUS, 8OZPLUST, 32OZPLUS).
4.3 Statim 5000 — STAT-DRI Plates
The Statim 5000 cassette uses STAT-DRI plates to enhance the drying process for wrapped instruments. The adjustable plates are designed for the unwrapped instruments rack and eliminate the need for a separate wrapped instrument rack. Up to ten plates can be arranged along the length of the rack. Each unit is shipped with five STAT-DRI plates. Additional plates may be ordered from SciCan (SciCan part number 01-103935).
To install and adjust a STAT-DRI plate, follow these steps:
- Hold a plate over the desired position, tilted slightly forward with the tabs down.
- Insert the tabs between the mesh of the unwrapped instrument rack.
- Each tab has an elongated slot. Slide the plate until the wire is at the end of each slot.
- Release the plate to the resting position.
- Prepare and load instruments for sterilization.
5.1 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. Coating the entire inside surface with STAT-DRI / STAT-DRI PLUS drying agent induces water to form an even coat on the inside surface, without beading. The water in contact with the hot cassette surfaces also evaporates much more efficiently. Spotting is minimized and instruments dry much better. STAT-DRI / STAT-DRI PLUS should be applied every 10 cycles, and after every cassette cleaning.
Stat-Dri vs. Jet-Dry
Stat-Dri Plus is specially formulated to protect stainless steel instruments. All microbiological sterilization efficacy testing has been done using Stat-Dri. We have not conducted such tests using Jet-Dry, and therefore cannot provide any data to support using any Jet-Dry products as an alternative.
Keep in mind there are several flavours of Jet-Dry on the market, including Jet-Dry with baking soda, Jet-Dry Turbo-Dry, etc. all of which have slightly different chemical composition. As a result, customers who choose to use Jet-Dry instead of Stat-Dri do so at their ‘own risk’.

HYDRIM C61w G4 instrument washer
The new compact Hydrim is available now!
The use of automated instrument washer-disinfectors is growing worldwide as regulatory authorities and dentists endorse and adopt what has come to be understood as the most effective and consistent means of disinfecting instruments prior to terminal sterilization.
Hydrim C61W G4 In-service video
- Effective sterilisation begins with the HYDRIM C61w G4 instrument-washer.
- The HYDRIM automatically washes rinses, and dries dental instruments, simply by pressing a button on the touchscreen.
- The HIP ULTRA cleaning solution is kinder to your instruments as the liquid detergent rapidly and fully disperses, unlike powder detergent, which can form clumps and compromise the efficiency of the washing process.
- The HYDRIM G4 is equipped with a web interface that enables online access and offers a platform with endless possibilities.
HYDRIM C61w G4 Instrument Washer
Featuring a stainless steel exterior, the HYDRIM C61w G4 is equipped with the latest technology and the same connectivity attributes as the STATIM G4.
Fast
The HYDRIM C61w has a 6-full sized cassette capacity – the biggest of its kind. This means that the office can turnover 120 instruments in 35 minutes, start to dry.
Effective
The tabletop footprint allows for under counter or counter top installation, so that offices have flexibility in maximizing their workspace in the reprocessing area. In addition, the time saved by automated washing compared to ultrasonic cleaning is approximately 1 hour of labour for every nine procedural set-ups[1]. The increased efficiency translates to the HYDRIM C61w G4 paying for itself in about 38 months[2].
Connected
Boasting the G4 technology, the HYDRIM C61w G4 is capable of emailing anyone the office chooses, including Technical Service personnel. It also allows remote access for easy troubleshooting. The automatic user interface software upgrades ensures the user will always have access to the most recent version and features, such as instructional slideshows of routine maintenance procedures, updated screensaver images, and more.
Serviceability
Designed from the ground-up by SciCan engineers, the HYDRIM C61w G4 encompasses over 10 years of experience in instrument washers. The modular design of the covers makes it easier to access specific components. The single screw type means it’s only one type of screwdriver that is needed to remove the panels. Handles and bumpers facilitate turning the unit on its back to access all the critical components, located underneath the unit. The HYDRIM C61w G4 was designed with the technician in mind.

The HYDRIM G4 is capable of communicating directly with service personnel or anyone you choose. Should the HYDRIM G4 ever need attention, diagnostic information can be sent via email to pre-selected dealer service reps, significantly reducing down time. |
Patient safety relies on attention to detail. The HYDRIM G4 supports verifiable processes that are PIN protected with user-defined IDs so that staff members can be required to authorize a cycle. This encourages extra attention to process and creates a safer environment for both staff and patient. |
With each cycle, information must be stored to protect your office and your patients. The integrated data logger store all cycle information for the lifetime of the unit. A USB port allows for the manual retrieval of cycle history. The 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection puts your PC in direct contact with your HYDRIM G4 and the RS232 serial printer port allows you to connect with an external printer. |
HYDRIM MEETS THE INTERNET |
