SciCan.

SciCan's about page says the company developed the STATIM cassette autoclave in the late 1980s, when other autoclaves could take as much as 45 minutes and STATIM cycles were described as 6 minutes. A STATIM brochure says the company was founded in 1957 and that the cassette autoclave launched in 1989. The same brochure prints SciCan Ltd. at 1440 Don Mills Road, Toronto, ON M3B 3P9, telephone 416-445-1600 and toll-free 1-800-667-7733.

The brochure also names HYDRIM washer-disinfectors, BRAVO chamber autoclaves, G4 networking, the STATMATIC handpiece maintenance unit, and OPTIM cleaner. A later STATIM B brochure calls the STATIM B G4+ a compact EN 13060 Class B sterilizer with a 6-litre chamber, pre-vacuum and post-vacuum, and says a wrapped cycle can be as short as 27 minutes. Those times are SciCan's. Follow the cycle chart for the load you actually run.

COLTENE completed the acquisition of SciCan and Micro-Mega on 10 October 2018. COLTENE's history page says the group then employed about 1,400 people. The STATIM B brochure says SciCan is a COLTENE Group brand in more than 100 countries, focused on dentistry and ophthalmology. The European address on a STATIM brochure is SciCan GmbH, Wangener Strasse 78, 88299 Leutkirch, Germany.

A cassette autoclave and a chamber autoclave are different machines. STATIM's cassette is the format the about page highlights. BRAVO is the chamber name in the brochure. HYDRIM washes instruments before either sterilizer. Do not skip the washer because the STATIM cycle is short. The brochure says a European headquarters opened in 2007 and names Stefan Helsing as managing director on that edition. It also says STATIM uses positive pressure pulse displacement and DriTec drying, which are SciCan's process names, and that the brand is used under licence by Dent4You AG in some European printings. A Canadian office and a German office can both be on the same brochure. Ship parts requests to the address on your invoice. The about page says STATIM units are common in Canadian practices after demand rose in the 1990s. That is the company's market story, not a requirement that every operatory own a cassette autoclave. The STATIM B brochure lists Coltène/Whaledent AG at Feldwiesenstrasse 20, 9450 Altstätten, as the group contact, beside the Toronto and Leutkirch SciCan addresses. Use the office that matches your region. Wrapped loads, pouches, and cassettes are different cycle programs on the STATIM B brochure. Pick the program that matches how you package instruments, not the shortest number in the marketing line.

SciCan suits a practice that wants a cassette or small Class B sterilizer and a matching washer from the COLTENE infection-control brand. Sterilizers are compared on the sterilizer guide.

Washers are on the instrument washer guide.

STATIM cassettes, STATIM B chambers, and BRAVO chambers do not share racks. HYDRIM is upstream of all of them. Write the sequence into the infection-control procedure.

The 6-minute figure is the company's description of the original cassette claim. The STATIM B brochure's 27-minute figure is for a wrapped load on that model. Do not mix the two numbers.

North American contact on the brochure is 1440 Don Mills Road, Toronto, and 1-800-667-7733. European service is printed at Leutkirch. Ask which legal entity is on your invoice after the 2018 COLTENE acquisition.

G4 networking stores cycle data. It does not change the biological-indicator requirement in your local rule.
