The SciCan Statim 5000 cassette autoclave (or steam sterilizer) uses a steam injector system provides temperature consistency and expels the air which causes oxidation. This process is effective on hollow and solid instruments. The Statim 5000 has a 9-minute complete sterilization cycle. Key pad operation and display screen gives users an easy interface.

Ultra fast 9 minute unwrapped cycle
17.5 minute wrapped cycle
Exceptional instrument turnover
15 minute Dri-Tec drying technology
Single water use
Aseptic transfer of instruments
Reduced instrument investment

The perfect blend of speed and capacity, the STATIM 5000 features a cycle as fast as 9 minutes with a sterilization chamber approximately three times the size of the 2000 model. This larger capacity cassette provides rapid high volume throughput sterilization with cycles up to four times the speed of common conventional autoclaves. The STATIM’s one-touch keypad offers a choice of four fully automated sterilization programs.

Aseptic transport
Similar to the STATIM 2000, the STATIM 5000 also employs a removable cassette, allowing dental practitioners to transport sets of freshly sterilized instruments to the treatment rooms safely and aseptically.

In order to perform sterilization cycles, there is a maximum weight of instruments you can place in autoclaves. For optimal performance it is recommended to spread the load among all the trays.
When autoclaves are overloaded, chances are the cycle will fail and have to be repeated.
