4. The endoscope inflates for 20 seconds to 160mmHg (3psi). Endoscope pressure is monitored for another 20
seconds. -If the pressure decreases below the 50mmHg (1psi) reading within this period, the warning LED on the
reprocessor control panel blinks, the system activates an alarm and the message "Sheath Fail" is displayed. Press
the STOP button to end the cycle. The cycle is aborted.
- If no leak is detected, the disinfection cycle starts as normal. No indication is shown.
