Advanced Pressure Decay TechnologyEmploying a non-destructive pressure decay method, the detector precisely identifies leaks in vacuum blood collection tubes without damaging samples. Its highly accurate readings, with an accuracy of 0.5% F.S. and a measurement resolution of 0.1 mL, guarantee quality control compliance in medical tube manufacturing.
User-Friendly Automation and Data ManagementWith automation starting from tube loading to detecting and recording results, the equipment requires just a single operator. The intuitive color touchscreen PLC interface facilitates easy control, data export via USB or print, and fast calibration (manual or automatic) for streamlined workflow in high-volume production environments.
Safety and Environmental ReliabilityEquipped with overpressure and system error alarms, the system prioritizes operator safety and equipment integrity. It operates consistently in clean, dust-free settings, maintaining low noise levels (<70 dB) and stable performance across varying environmental parameters (10C-40C, 85% RH non-condensing).
FAQ's of Non-Destructive Leak Detection for Vacuum Blood Collection Tube Quality Control:
Q: How does the non-destructive leak detection process work for vacuum blood collection tubes?
A: The system applies the pressure decay test method by creating a controlled vacuum (up to -90 kPa) around the blood collection tube. It monitors any loss in pressure, which indicates the presence of a leak, all without physically damaging or altering the specimen.
Q: What types and sizes of blood collection tubes can be tested using this equipment?
A: This detector is suitable for various tubes, specifically those sized 13x75mm, 13x100mm, and 16x100mm, and can accommodate up to eight tubes per run, making it adaptable to different laboratory needs.
Q: When should calibration of the leak detector be performed and how is it done?
A: Calibration should be conducted periodically or if measurement inconsistencies are observed. The equipment allows both automatic and manual calibration modes for user convenience and ongoing accuracy.
Q: Where is the optimal location to install and operate the leak detector?
A: It should be operated in a clean, dust-free environment with a stable temperature (10C-40C) and humidity (85% RH non-condensing), ensuring the best performance and reliability.
Q: What is the process for exporting test data from the device?
A: Test data is automatically recorded by the system and can be easily exported through a USB port or printed directly, simplifying the documentation and maintaining comprehensive quality control records.
Q: How is operator safety ensured while using this equipment?
A: Operator safety is maintained with built-in overpressure and system error alarms, as well as robust construction. The control system also monitors each test cycle for any faults, alerting the user immediately to prevent operational risks.
Q: What are the benefits of using this non-destructive leak detector in a quality control laboratory?
A: Benefits include high throughput (up to 5000 tubes/day), non-destructive testing, enhanced result accuracy, rapid test speeds (1-20 tests/min), minimal noise, and user-friendly automated controls, all contributing to reliable, efficient, and cost-effective tube quality assessment.
