Product Description
Flexible endoscopes are highly vulnerable to damage-causing moisture that enters the endoscope’s sensitive
interior through holes, tears, broken seals, cleaning cap leaks and loose contact pins. Prior to Veriscan LT, leak
detection has always been hampered by testing equipment that lacked precision, and required extraordinary skills
of observation beyond the capabilities of even the most experienced cleaning technician. As a result, undetected
leaks allow moisture to enter the endoscope’s interior through no fault of the technician. These leaks invariably
result in extensive endoscope damage, expensive endoscope repairs, and raise the risk of cross-patient infection
due to pathogens passing into subsequent patients through undetected leaks and moisture invasion.
The Veriscan’s automated endoscope leak testing technology transforms leak testing from a frustrating guessing
game into a simple, highly accurate, repeatable process that can be quickly mastered by cleaning technicians
and nurses. Veriscan’s innovative dry leak testing method accurately detects damage-causing endoscope leaks
without the need of immersing an endoscope in water. The endoscope is dry-leak tested through a process of
pressurizing the endoscope, monitoring the internal pressure level, and identifying if an endoscope leak exists
through a loss of pressure. An endoscope does not have to be placed in a fluid-bath and visually observed for air
bubble leaks; the Veriscan’s visual display and printout automatically identify if an endoscope leak is detected.
Carefully review the User Manual to familiarize yourself with Veriscan’s features, operation and testing procedures.
We are confident the Veriscan system will quickly become an invaluable tool for enhancing reprocessing room
efficiency, reducing endoscope damage and repair expense due to undetected leaks, and reduce the potential risk
of cross-patient infection.
