Dry and Wet air Leak Tests
A crucial step in the care of the patient and the instrument
Maintaining and testing the integrity of the thin sheath covering the fiber optic bundle of the scope is crucial in the prevention of nosocomial infections as well as for the prevention of damage to the equipment. There are two components in in this test protocol; Dry test and Wet test. The performance of the dry test prior to the immersion of the scope in the disinfectant solution can prevent further damage to the scope in case the sheath is compromised
​
HLD-Stastion offers the most convenient and safe place to perform the dry and wet air leak tests. The procedure time is significantly reduced and the potential damage to the delicate fiber bundle is omitted.
