Page 5: Introduction
Flexible endoscopes are highly vulnerable to damage-causing moisture that enters the endoscope’s sensitive interior through holes, tears, broken seals, cleaning cap leaks and loose contact pins. Prior to Veriscan LT, leak detection has always been hampered by testing equipment that lacked precision, and required extraordinary skills of observation beyond the capabilities of even the most experienced cleaning technician.
