Statim® With A Steam Leak

One of the Doctors we work with could not figure out why her Statim® 2000 sterilizer continued to leak steam after replacing the cassette seal and the cassette. You will find out why it is important to always have an extra cassette seal on hand.

We suspected another component at first too, as the seal had recently been replaced. However, close examination did not reveal any problems with the probe bracket or other components. Replacing the seal proved to be a long term solution in this case.

Probe Bracket looked dirty.With condensation on front usually means the probe bracket needs to be replaced. Water under unit only = cassette..Condensation on front = probe bracket. Probably was temporary fix replacing the seal only.

The mfg recommends replacing the seal every 6 monthes or 500 cycles
