Don't Let Hidden Leaks Deflate Performance

ISSUE NO. 819

Have you ever had a slow leak in a basketball? At first, it might seem like no big deal. You give it a bounce, and it feels fine - maybe a little softer than usual. But over time, that small, unnoticed leak adds up. The ball doesn’t bounce as high, and you start to notice it’s not performing like it should.


To find the leak, you should carefully inspect the ball, listen for a hissing sound or check for any air loss. If you don’t catch it early, you could be stuck with a deflated ball when you need it most.


Just like a basketball losing air, electrosurgical shavers can experience similar issues with seals that degrade over time. The Shaver Leak Tester helps you find those “leaks” before they affect performance.


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 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.


By using the Shaver Leak Tester, you catch issues early - just like fixing that slow leak in a basketball before it impacts your game.
