Introduction

Using this manual

This manual describes the features of the Medivators Veriscan LT Automated Endoscope Leak Tester, including

system, setup, operation, safety, maintenance and troubleshooting procedures. It is important to follow the provided

instructions to keep the device in proper operating condition, to ensure accurate endoscope leak testing, and to

ensure long product life.

This is not a service manual and does not provide detailed instructions for service beyond general maintenance,

handling and care. Contact the manufacturer’s service representative if you have any questions regarding this

product, its use or operation.

Product Description

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. As a result, undetected

leaks allow moisture to enter the endoscope’s interior through no fault of the technician. These leaks invariably

result in extensive endoscope damage, expensive endoscope repairs, and raise the risk of cross-patient infection

due to pathogens passing into subsequent patients through undetected leaks and moisture invasion.

The Veriscan’s automated endoscope leak testing technology transforms leak testing from a frustrating guessing

game into a simple, highly accurate, repeatable process that can be quickly mastered by cleaning technicians

and nurses. Veriscan’s innovative dry leak testing method accurately detects damage-causing endoscope leaks

without the need of immersing an endoscope in water. The endoscope is dry-leak tested through a process of

pressurizing the endoscope, monitoring the internal pressure level, and identifying if an endoscope leak exists

through a loss of pressure. An endoscope does not have to be placed in a uid-bath and visually observed for air

bubble leaks; the Veriscan’s visual display and printout automatically identify if an endoscope leak is detected.

Carefully review the User Manual to familiarize yourself with Veriscan’s features, operation and testing procedures.

We are condent the Veriscan system will quickly become an invaluable tool for enhancing reprocessing room

efciency, reducing endoscope damage and repair expense due to undetected leaks, and reduce the potential risk

of cross-patient infection.

Guidelines

Endoscope Leak Testing and Pre-cleaning

An effective endoscope leak test and pre-cleaning process is an essential step in the reprocessing of an

endoscope. Always follow the endoscope manufacturer’s instructions and established professional guidelines to

properly leak test and clean an endoscope. If an endoscope leak is detected, the endoscope should be immediately

taken out of service and sent in for repair.

Endoscopes should always be dry leak tested before submersion in uid to prevent additional uid invasion and

internal endoscope contamination. Leak testing detects endoscope leaks within the interior and exterior of an

endoscope.

Testing a Failed Endoscope

Majority of FAIL leak test results are due to true endoscope leaks. On occasion, a FAIL test
result can be traced to other preventable and correctable issues such as:

• Nicks in the endoscope cleaning cap gasket: If the rubber seal or gasket on the inside

of the endoscope cleaning cap is damaged, a false FAIL leak test result can occur. If the
rubber sealing area is not in perfect condition, replace the cleaning cap with a new one.

• ETO valve loose on endoscope cleaning cap: If the ETO valve on the endoscope

cleaning cap is loose, air can escape and cause a false FAIL leak test results. If the
ETO valve is loose, replace the cleaning cap with a new one.

• Quick Connect Tubing: If the Veriscan’s Quick Connect Tubing is damaged due to a small

hole, or worn due to an O-ring leak, a false FAIL leak test result can occur. Always have a
spare Quick Connect Tubing available to test for a tubing leak.

• Screening Test used to test a warm, unstable temperature endoscope: A false FAIL

leak test result can occur if the “Screening Test” was used to leak test an endoscope used on

a patient within the previous 30 minutes. The screening test should only be used on stable
temperature endoscopes which have not been used within the last 30 minutes. Allow the
endoscopes the recommeneded time to cool, and then re-perform the leak test.

Retesting a Failed Endoscope

In the event of a FAIL test result, the endoscope leak test should be rerun as follows:

Retest Endoscope

Remove the Quick Connect Tubing from the endoscope.

Inspect the tubing for wear, damage or holes.
Inspect the O-ring for rips or tears.

Inspect the O-ring for sufcient silicon oil lubrication. The O-ring can tear if dry or not properly

lubricated.

Replace if worn or damaged.

• Remove the cleaning cap from the endoscope. Inspect the cleaning cap, cleaning cap

O-ring, and ETO valve, and replace if worn or damaged.

• Reattached cleaning cap and Quick Connect Tubing, and initiate a new endoscope leak

test by pressing CONTINUE and the START.

Endoscope Fails Again

If the endoscope fails a second time, then:

• Press the CONST AIR button on the keypad and visually observe the endoscope’s distal

end for ination.

1) Endoscope Distal End Inates:

If the distal end of an endoscope inates, then it can be safely submerged for cleaning before
being sent in for repair. The endoscope must be cleaned with a continuous air ow during
the entire cleaning process. The continuous air ow creates a constant internal endoscope
pressure that prevents uid from invading through the leak. Clean the endoscope as follows:

• Verify the CONS AIR button remains on and the endoscope’s distal tip is inated.

• Submerge the endoscope in uid and look for an air bubble leak.

• Hand clean according to your cleaning room protocol for handling endoscopes

with leaks.

• Remove endoscope from uid and dry. Press CANCEL to stop constant air ow.

• Remove endoscope from service.

• Contact endoscope repair company to arrange for endoscope servicing.

USERS MANUAL | 19

2) Endoscope Distal End Does Not Inate:

Do not submerge the endoscope in uid. This is an indication of a large endoscope leak. Press CANCEL to stop
the constant air ow. The endoscope must be hand cleaned before being sent in for repair by following these

steps:

• Do not submerge the endoscope in any uids or in an automated endoscope reprocessor.

• Hand clean the endoscope according to your cleaning room protocol for handling endoscopes with leaks.

• Remove endoscope from service.

• Contact endoscope repair company to arrange for endoscope servicing.

NOTE: DO NOT SUBMERGE ENDOSCOPE IN FLUID

Changing the Desiccant Drying Crystals

The Veriscan system uses self-indicating silica desiccant drying crystals to
remove moisture from the outside air that enters the endoscope during the
pressurization process of the leak test.

Determining When to Change Drying Crystals

The crystals in the drying crystal bulb are blue and white when in an active
state. As the blue crystals become saturated with moisture, they lose their
ability to completely remove moisture from the air and begin to change color.
When the crystals turn a vivid bubble gum pink color, it is recommended to
ensure you have a replacement bag of drying crystals available or on order
from Medivators. As the crystals continue to absorb moisture, their color
continues to change until they reach a pale pink which indicates it is time to
change the crystals. A color-coded comparison chart is located on the metal

housing of the crystal bulb which identies the three color stages (see gure

26). The drying crystals should be checked monthly and compared to the
color-coded chart to determine if the drying crystals require replacement.

30 | USERS MANUAL

Maintenance, Handling and Care

Changing the Drying Crystals

The crystals in the drying crystal bulb are blue and white in their active
state. Once the crystals have turned pale pink, then they must be

replaced. Follow the steps detailed under “Installing or Replacing the
Desiccant Drying Crystals” located in the “System Setup” section for

further instructions.

Changing the Coalescent (Oil & Particulate) Removal Filter

Before pressurizing the endoscope, the incoming air must rst be ltered.
Veriscan lters the air through the coalescent lter which is an oil and
particulate removal lter. This ltration system ensures that only ltered
air enters the endoscope. This lter should be monitored regularly, and
changed once a year. To replace the lter follow these simple steps:

CAUTION: Disconnect all power before performing the lter

installation

Step 1: Turn off and then unplug the Veriscan system before performing

this operation.

Step 2: Unscrew the clear plastic bowl from the lter housing in a

counterclockwise direction until free. Set bowl aside.

(see gures 27 and 28)

Figure 27

Step 3: Remove the lter element from the lter housing by unscrewing

it in a counterclockwise direction until free. Discard the used lter. (see
gure 29)

Step 4: Take new lter element and screw it into the lter housing unit in a

clockwise direction.

Step 5: Replace the clear plastic bowl by screwing it back into the lter

housing unit in a clockwise direction.

Changing the Fuse
In the rare event that the device will not power up, the fuse may need to
be replaced. The Veriscan system uses a Littlefuse PN 31300, which is
a 3AG style fuse. The fuse rating is: 250V, 1 Ampere, Type S. Contact
Medivators Technical Support at 1-800-444-4729 or your authorized
distributor to order a new fuse or for technical assistance.

Performing a System Self Test
The Veriscan system automatically performs a system self test each
time the unit is powered on. In the event that the self-test fails or leak
test performance results yield an unusually high rate of failures, contact
Medivators Technical Support.

Cleaning Care
Gently clean the Veriscan system with a soft cloth soaked in a mild soapy
detergent and water mix solution. Do not allow cleaning solution to enter
the on-off switch on the back of the unit. Do not remove the metal case
