User Information for sterilizing eye surgical instruments.
Countertop Tabletop Cleaning instruments prior to using the Statim Eye Surgical Instrument Sterilizer:
Before sterilization or high-level disinfection, instruments should be cleaned so that any debris is removed. Cleaning is a prerequisite to sterilization of eye & dental surgical instruments. Combination or all-in-one enzymatic based cleaning concentrate solutions facilitate effective instrument cleaning. Heavy-duty gloves should be worn for handling contaminated instruments. Instruments should soak in water or disinfectant/detergent as soon as possible after use to prevent drying of debris. If the instruments cannot be cleaned soon after use, the application of a ‘combination’ or all-in-one enzymatic foam spray will maintain hydration, prevent encrustation, prevent corrosion, and facilitate cleaning.
Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer Automated cleaning prior to using the Statim Eye Surgical Instrument Sterilizer:
Washer Decontaminators/Disinfectors may be used to reduce direct handling of contaminated instruments. Automated cleaning will reduce overall costs and facilitate a more rapid turnaround of instruments. Washers provide thorough surface cleaning and flushing inside working channels to eliminate the manual cleaning of lumens and working channels. This will ensure that instruments are consistently clean inside and out, thereby reducing the costs and avoiding the worker risks associated with manual cleaning. New design Washer Decontaminators, such as the M3 Washer Decontaminator, will eliminate costly manual cleaning and are available in compact countertop or undercounter models.
Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer and Preventing corrosion of eye surgical instruments:
Using rust inhibitors or an all-in-one enzymatic based cleaning concentrate will protect instruments from corrosion that may result from autoclaving. Thorough rinsing is important to prevent spotting, stains, and accumulation of potentially toxic contaminants. Automated Washers tend to render higher quality instrument care and longer useable instrument life.
Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer and When to sterilize or disinfect eye and dental surgical instruments:
According to the CDC- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eye & dental instruments are classified into three categories depending on the risk of transmitting infection. The classifications of critical, semi-critical and non-critical are based on the following criteria:
Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer and Critical eye surgical instruments are those used to penetrate soft tissue or bone and should be sterilized after each use. Sterilization is achieved by steam under pressure (autoclaving), dry heat, or heat/chemical vapor. Critical instruments include forceps, scalpels, bone chisels, scalers, and burs.
Countertop Table top Sterilizer and Semi-critical eye surgical instruments are those that do not penetrate soft tissues or bone but contact oral tissues, such as mirrors and amalgam condensers. These devices should also be sterilized after each use. In some cases, however, sterilization is not feasible and, therefore, high-level disinfection is appropriate. A high-level disinfectant is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a "sterilant/disinfectant" and must be labeled as such.
Countertop Table top Sterilizer and non-critical eye surgical instruments are those that come into contact only with intact skin such as external components of X-ray heads. Such devices have a relatively low risk of transmitting infection and, therefore, may be reprocessed between patients by intermediate-level or low-level disinfection. An intermediate-level disinfectant is EPA-registered as a "hospital disinfectant" and will be labeled for "tuberculocidal" activity (e.g., phenolics, iodophors, and chlorine-containing compounds). A low-level disinfectant is EPA-registered as a "hospital disinfectant" but is not labeled for "tuberculocidal" activity (e.g., quaternary ammonium compounds).
All critical and semi-critical dental & eye instruments that are heat-stable should be sterilized after each use by steam under pressure (autoclaving), dry heat, or chemical vapor.
Countertop Table top Sterilizer and Packaging prior to using the Statim Eye Surgical Instrument Sterilizer:
Packaging rinsed and dried instruments before sterilization protects them from contamination after they are removed from the sterilizer and during transport chair side or to storage.
Sterilization is recommended for all high-speed dental & eye hand pieces, low-speed hand piece components used intra-orally, and reusable prophylaxis angles. It is important to follow the manufacturers’ instructions for cleaning, lubrication, and sterilization procedures to ensure the effectiveness of the sterilization process and the longevity of these instruments. High-speed and low-speed hand pieces produced today are heat-tolerant, and many older heat-sensitive models can be retrofitted with heat-stable components.
Validation of Statim Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer cycles:
Proper functioning of sterilization cycles should be verified by periodic use of spore tests called biologic indicators. Biologic indicators consist of highly resistant bacterial spores of Bacillus stearothermophilus (used to monitor steam and unsaturated chemical vapor sterilizers) or Bacillus subtilis (used for monitoring the dry heat sterilizer). Chemical indicators (in the form of tape, strips, tabs and special markings on packaging material) indicate exposure to heat. Heat-sensitive chemical indicators that change color after exposure to heat do not guarantee sterilization, but may be used on the outside of each pack to identify those that have been processed through the heating cycle, or in the center of either a load of unwrapped instruments or in each multiple instrument pack.
Statim Eye Surgical Instrument Sterilizer Countertop Tabletop Sterilizer
and Liquid chemical germicides and neutral pH cleaners for eye surgical instruments:
In all eye surgery and dental surgery [and other health-care settings], indications for the use of liquid chemical germicides to sterilize instruments (i.e., "cold sterilization") are limited. For heat-sensitive instruments, this procedure may require up to 10 hours of exposure to a liquid chemical agent registered with the EPA as a "sterilant/disinfectant." Instruments sterilized in this manner should be rinsed very carefully with sterile water to thoroughly remove the toxic agents, dried, and placed in a sterile container (if not used immediately). Care must be taken when using liquid chemical germicides due to their carcinogenic nature are their capacity to damage lung and nasal tissues. Neutral pH cleaning concentrates are safe to use and will effectively remove contaminated debris. Neutral pH cleaning concentrates will render instruments that are clean, safe to handle, and will effectively provide the prerequisite for sterilization.
Statim Countertop Sterilizer Tabletop Eye Surgical Instrument Sterilizer Questions and Answers
Q: What type of water do I use with Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer [autoclaves] for sterilizing eye surgical instruments ?
A: Always use steam distilled water in the STATIM tabletop sterilizer cassette autoclave. Other water sources will damage the unit and void the tabletop sterilizer warranty.
Q: How do I test the quality of distilled water for sterilizing eye surgical instruments ?
A: If purchasing distilled water, SciCan recommends using a water conductivity tester (SciCan part no. 01-103139S) to check for impurities. If you would like to produce your own distilled water, take a look at SciCan's water distiller product offering.
Q: How do I prepare instruments for use with Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer [Autoclaves] for sterilizing eye surgical instruments ?
A: Thoroughly wash, rinse, and dry all instruments before inserting into the Statim tabletop sterilizer.
Q: How often do I clean the interior and exterior of the cassette for use with Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 tabletop sterilizer [Autoclaves] for sterilizing eye surgical instruments ?
A: Keeping the Statim countertop table top sterilizer cassette clean is good clinical practice. The interior surface of the cassette should be cleaned at least once a week with a mild dishwashing soap. (For instructions, see the Statim Operators Manual). To promote quick drying, we recommend spraying the cassette lid and tray with Stat-dri after each cleaning. After spraying, let the tabletop sterilizer cassette lid and tray dry completely.
Q: How do I lubricate the Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer rubber cassette seal ?
A: Lubricate the rubber countertop table top sterilizer cassette seal with a mild liquid soap. In a busy practice, this should be done 1-2 times per week.
Q: What do I do if steam or a puddle of water is detected during or after a cycle?
A: If steam or a puddle of water is detected during or after a cycle, check the cassette seal. This problem may be corrected by doing the following:
a) reseating the tabletop sterilizer seal
b) re-lubricating the seal and probe holes
c) cleaning the outside edge of the tabletop sterilizer tray
Q: What if I receive an error code when using the Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer ?
A: If the LCD displays a NOT STERILE message, note the error code and consult your Statim countertop table top sterilizer Operators Manual.
Q: Do I need to ensure that the Statim 5000 tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer is level before sterilizing eye surgical instruments ?
A: Yes. Before operating your Statim 5000 tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop table top sterilizer [autoclave], make sure it rests on a flat and level surface. If you are uncertain, the level indicator on the front panel and leveler feet underneath the tabletop sterilizer will help you correct any problems. (Align the bubble in the level indicator to the right front quadrant of the target.)
Q: What do I do if my Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 tabletop sterilizer has not been run for several days sterilizing eye surgical instruments?
A: If you do not operate your Statim 5000 countertop table top sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop table top sterilizer [autoclave] for several days, drain the reservoir.
Q: How should I drain the reservoir ?
A: To empty the reservoir, use the drain tube. If your Statim 5000 countertop table top sterilizer or Statim 2000 tabletop sterilizer does not have a drain tube, a hand pump will suffice. Except when filling or emptying the reservoir, keep the tabletop sterilizer reservoir cap securely fastened at all times.
Q: What should I do if the Statim 5000 countertop tabletop sterilizer or Statim 2000 countertop tabletop sterilizer is on, but not in use ?
A: If your Statim 5000 countertop table top sterilizer or Statim 2000 tabletop sterilizer is powered ON but not in use, pull the cassette 1-2cm out of the unit. This will make the table top sterilizer inactive until the table top sterilize cassette is reinserted and will prolong the life of your unit.
