After enduring the coldest month of the winter, I find myself asking myself the question; do I have a leak in my car tire(s) or am I losing that much air pressure due to the severe cold weather? You never really know for sure until you fill them up and wait for the weather to warm up. It’s usually due to the cold weather, but once in a while you could have a leak. Of course if you really aren’t sure, it's better to be safe than sorry by taking your car in to be inspected for tire leaks.
Luckily, you don’t have to guess in the Sterile Processing Department. Tests, like the Shaver Leak Tester are designed for pressure testing arthroscopic shavers to help identify leaks caused by failing seals that degrade over time from repeated use and processing. The Shaver Leak Tester assists healthcare workers in reprocessing areas to make sure their shaver is working properly by using both a hand pump to apply pressure and a testing stop made from polypropylene to create a temporarily closed system within the fluid pathway of the shaver to pressure test for leaks.
Utilizing positive pressure allows the user to confirm if the internal seals are fully intact or if the shaver needs to be sent out for repair. The Shaver Leak Tester helps in reducing the potential for cross-contamination, damage and costly repairs that result from using a shaver with leaks.
Don’t guess with your equipment, make sure you have proper testing equipment to identify leaks and other damage.
