Calibration Cassettes and Reference Meters
Specially designed calibration cassettes allow technicians to take readings from within the
cassette while the unit is in operation. In addition, calibration also requires the use of certain
reference meters. Use the table below to identify the meters you will require.

Calibration Cassettes
The cassette of the STAT
im
unit is effectively
a fixed volume chamber that contains
instruments during sterilization. Saturated
steam at a specific temperature and pressure
is introduced to produce the correct
conditions for sterilization. The cassette is
part of a sealed system designed to contain
the pressurized steam. To calibrate the unit’s
temperature and pressure (if appropriate) monitoring devices, a special calibration cassette must
be used. The calibration cassette allows a technician to independently monitor the temperature
and pressure inside the cassette, ensuring the unit is operating in accordance to its original
specifications and to national/international standards.
The relevant cassette types are detailed in the chart above, and the following important
information should be noted before choosing the appropriate cassette to use.
• Non S unit cassettes require a 1.6mm (1/16”) temperature probe and cannot be used with
a 3.2mm (1/8”) temperature probe. (See meter details for probe diameter).
• S unit cassettes have temperature fittings (one fitted and one in the cassette accessories
supplied) that will allow the use of both 1.6mm (1/16”) and 3.2mm (1/8”) temperature
probe. (See meter details for probe diameter).
• S unit cassettes are designed for both temperature and pressure reference meters and are
suitable for all models, S and Non S. If these cassettes are acquired, the non S, single port
cassette is not required.
• The non S unit cassettes should not be used to calibrate S class units.
• Please note that when calibrating non-S units with an S unit cassette that the pressure
meter will not be required and the test port will require the pressure tube supplied with the
cassette to be connected to the pressure fitting to prevent steam leakage.
