OLYMPUS MAJ-590 Leakage Tester Tube Assembly for Endoscopes

The OLYMPUS MAJ-590 is a leakage tester tube assembly, an essential accessory for the proper maintenance and reprocessing of Olympus flexible endoscopes. This component serves as the critical link between the endoscope and a leakage testing unit, such as the Olympus MB-155.

By securely connecting to the endoscope's venting connector, the MAJ-590 allows the scope's interior to be pressurized with air. This process is fundamental for performing integrity checks to detect any punctures, cracks, or seal failures in the endoscope's bending section or insertion tube. Early detection of leaks is crucial to prevent fluid invasion during cleaning and disinfection, which can lead to catastrophic damage to the internal components and costly repairs.

• Function: Facilitates air pressure testing of flexible endoscopes to check for leaks.
• Clinical Setting: Used in sterile processing departments (SPD) and endoscopy suites before manual cleaning and high-level disinfection.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with a wide array of Olympus endoscopes and leakage testers.
