A One-Stop Shop for Smart Instrument Processing
SPEC Steri-Center packages take the guesswork out of creating a safe, efficient, and compliant sterilization center that keeps the dental team safe and infection control top of mind
While a critical area of the dental practice, instrument processing is not a topic that dental professionals want
to dedicate endless time or energy worrying about. So, if there was a way to streamline your steri-center—the infection control hub of your practice—and ensure sterilization compliance every step of the way, wouldn’t you try it?
SciCan has stepped up to the plate with a start-to-finish solution for smart instrument processing—from receiving, cleaning, and decontamination to packaging, sterilization, and sterile storage. The SciCan SPEC System includes various options for practices with 1 to 10+ operatories and can accommodate offices that are pouching instruments or using instrument cassettes.
“SciCan offers a full line of sterilization equipment that will fit into any cabinet configuration based on the size of the office,” said Mike Etheridge, SciCan’s Director of Marketing. “Buying your equipment from a single manufacturer allows you to have one team to design your steri-center, and then help with installation, staff training, and support going forward. Plus, with G4 WiFi connectivity, remote troubleshooting and digital cycle record keeping are simple.”
Simplifying Sterilization
The SPEC System—which stands for safety, predictability, efficiency, and compliance—utilizes SciCan’s full line of sterilization equipment to help minimize instrument handling and increase staff productivity with improved efficiencies. It also ensures 
that practices stay compliant with CDC guidelines, which require instruments to be packaged in autoclavable pouches or wrapped in instrument cassettes after being cleaned, dried, and inspected.
Sterilization equipment in the SciCan SPEC Steri-Center packages include:
- • STATMATIC: Automatic handpiece maintenance unit that cleans, lubricates, and purges handpieces prior to sterilization
- • BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaners: Featuring 1.5- or 3-gallon tank sizes, BioSonic Ultrasonic Cleaner solutions and accessories offer flexibility to quietly and quickly clean instruments without staining, scratching, rusting, or denting.
- • HYDRIM: HYDRIM L110W G4 Instrument Washers provides a safe, effective, and efficient way to clean instruments, allowing staff to focus on the most important thing in a dental practice—the patient. The HYDRIM L110W G4 washer has a 10 full size cassette capacity and will allow offices to turnover 2,500 thoroughly cleaned instruments in a 10-hour day.
- • STATIM G4: STATIM provides sterilization and dryness at speeds faster than conventional chambered autoclaves. A complete solution, it provides rapid sterilization with rapid drying via the STATIM Dri-Tec drying technology.
- • STATCLAVE G4: STATCLAVE is a chamber autoclave that incorporates both pre-sterilization vacuum to improve steam penetration and post-sterilization vacuum to improve drying. Its 11-inch chamber and vacuum-assisted closed-door drying efficiently delivers sterilized and dried wrapped instruments.
- • VistaPure: Provides two grades of high quality, ready-to-use water for autoclaves, dental bottles, ultrasonic cleaners, and instrument washers.
Aside from being a one-stop shop for product solutions, SPEC Steri-Center pack-ages streamline coordination of pre-installation requirements, equipment installation, in-service training, and support. Plus, a uniform look to the equipment and sterilization area becomes a focal point of the practice and lets patients know that infection control is top of mind
