Leak test
Caution:
The leak test must be carried out before each reprocessing!
Caution:
The connection tube of the leak tester and the tester connection on the laryngoscope must be dry!
Place the tester connector cap firmly on the tester connector and turn it clockwise a quarter turn (see
figure 3). The tester is now firmly connected to the laryngoscope and cannot be pulled off.
Close the valve on the leak tester.
Create a test pressure of 160 (±10) mmHg by pumping the leak tester.

Caution:
If the manometer reading drops by more than 10 mmHg within one minute, do not place the laryngo-
scope in liquid.
In this case, wipe the outer sheath with instrument disinfectant or isopropanol 70 %, wrap the laryngo-
scope in a protective foil cover, pack it in the original packaging and label it "leaking, not disinfected".
Then hand it over to the service workshop or the manufacturer.
