9.6 Replacing the Cassette Seal

To ensure optimum performance of your STATIM cassette autoclave, change the cassette seal every 500
cycles or every six months, whichever comes first. Replacement seals are available from SciCan (order
number 01-100028S for STATIM 2000 G4 and 01-101649S for STATIM 5000 G4).
To change the cassette seal, follow these steps:
Place the cassette lid and the new seal on a clean work surface. Examine
the position of the old seal in the cassette lid and arrange the new seal in
the same orientation, next to the lid.
Remove the old seal and discard. Clean any residue out of the
seal channel and flush out the channel with distilled water.
Lubricate the new seal with the liquid seal lubricant provided.
Insert the rounded edge of the seal under the round lip of
the lid. Align the holes in the new seal with the holes in the lid.
NOTE: At every corner and at the holes in the lid, two square nibs
should be visible. The nibs should fit flush with the lid's outer surface.
Ensure the seal is completely inserted. Feel around
the periphery to ensure the seal is securely in place.
NOTE: During a cycle, steam may appear between the lid
and the tray. If this persists, remove the cassette and check
that the seal is correctly installed.

Be careful. The metal parts will be hot, and the cassette may contain hot steam.
