Why Pouches remain wet after drying on the Statim 2000 Autoclave

First, it should be noted, handling the pouches when they are wet will compromise the sterility of the instruments being sterilized (the pouches are
permeable and will allow bacteria from your hands to wick through to the instruments)

There are several possible causes for the pouches being wet after going through the drying cycle on the Statim 2000 Autoclaves

1. The air filter(s) are dirty. The compressor air filter is located under the round metal plate on the back of the autoclave. There is a screw in the middle of the
   plate holding it in place. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the screw, and then the plate. The filter is made of foam and is shaped like a donut.
   Remove the filter. If the filter is dirty, replace it.

• Scican (Statim) recommends the filter be replaced every three months

Newer units also have a Biological Filter. Like the Air Compressor Filter, if it gets dirty, it can impede the air flow and restrict drying. It too should be
replaced on a regular basis

• Ensure that cassette is clean and has been treated with Stat Dri™ or Sci-Dry™ (offered by AllClaveParts)
• The Biological Filter should be replaced every 6 months or 500 cycles, whichever comes first
