3.4 Leakage testing
After precleaning, perform leakage testing on the endoscope to ensure that it is
waterproof.
Equipment needed
Prepare the following equipment:
Attach the water-resistant cap (MH-553)
• The electrical connector of the endoscope is not waterproof.
Before immersing or leakage testing the endoscope, always
attach the water-resistant cap.
• If the exterior of the electrical connector is scratched, the
connector may no longer be waterproof and the seal inside
the water-resistant cap may be scratched. If the electrical
connector is scratched, send it immediately to Olympus for
repairs.
• Never immerse the water-resistant cap unless it is attached
to the endoscope. Water remaining inside the water-resistant
cap can be transferred to and damage the electrical
connector.
• Personal protective equipment
• Large basin
• Clean water
• Maintenance unit or light source (MU-1 or CLV-160)
• Leakage tester (MB-155)
• Water-resistant cap (see Table 1.1)
