9.4 Leakage testing of the endoscope
After precleaning, perform leakage testing on the endoscope to ensure that it is
waterproof.
Equipment needed
Prepare the following equipment, and wear appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Attaching the water-resistant caps (MH-553)
• The ultrasonic cable connector and the electrical connector
of the endoscope are not waterproof. Before immersing or
leakage testing the endoscope, always attach the
water-resistant caps. Otherwise, equipment damage may
result.
• If the exterior of the ultrasonic cable connector and/or the
videoscope cable connector is scratched, the connector may
no longer be waterproof and the seal inside the
water-resistant cap may become scratched. If the ultrasonic
cable connector or the electrical connector is scratched,
contact Olympus.
• Never immerse the water-resistant caps unless they are
attached to the endoscope. Water remaining inside the
water-resistant caps can be transferred to and damage the
ultrasonic cable connector and/or the videoscope cable
connector.
