A leak test is an essential step in cleaning and disinfecting equipment, as operation of a damaged device can be dangerous for both the patient and the clinician.

This test is performed at the beginning of each treatment cycle, as water and disinfectant solution can severely damage the integrity of a leaky device.

The manual leak test for Olympus endoscopes is performed using the MB-155 endoscopic leak detector complete with the MU-1 maintenance unit and accessories.
