Cassette doubles as instrument tray to reassure patient. Due to the extremely short sterilization cycle, the Statim's throughput per hour can actually exceed that of a conventional autoclave. The compact cassette holds up to 25 surgical instruments. The Statim uses pure steam only once. Condensate is discarded after each cycle to protect instruments.
Conventional autoclaves recirculate harmful contaminants through a closed water system.
A built-in air pump automatically flushes chamber with dry air after sterilization cycle. This prevents instrument damage caused by the build up of humidity. Conventional autoclaves rely on an operator to open the door. Computerized controlled Entire sterilization cycle, including instrument drying, is computer controlled for foolproof operation. Economical operation Costs less than five cents per cycle to operate.
