Leak Test

LEAK TESTING

Dry test

  1. Ensure the leak tester has no fluid/moisture inside the tubing, connector or bulb.
  2. Attach the leak tester to the vent port and pressurize the endoscope to 18.5-21.5 kPa (140-160 mmHg). Flex the distal portion of the endoscope in all directions, observing for a drop in pressure. If no leaks are found, release pressure and disconnect the leak tester. Leak test should last a minimum of 30 seconds.
  3. If a leak is detected. Follow the supplier’s instructions and send the endoscope to your provider for repair.

Wet test

  1. Immerse the endoscope in clean fresh water. Flex the distal portion in all direction. If any continuous streams of bubbles emerge, send the endoscope to your provider for repair.
