FAQ's of Non-Destructive Leak Testing Ensuring Blood Collection Tubes Vacuum Integrity:
Q: How does the non-destructive leak tester detect leaks in blood collection tubes?
A: The tester operates using the differential pressure decay method. Clean compressed air is applied, and any pressure drop is precisely monitored within the sealed chamber. This enables detection of even minute leaks without damaging the tube, ensuring the vacuum integrity required for blood sample containment.
Q: What types and sizes of blood collection tubes can be tested with this equipment?
A: It supports a range of blood collection tube sizes and volumes-specifically 13x75 mm, 13x100 mm, 16x100 mm, and 4 ml to 10 ml tubes. Multiple tube formats and up to 10 specimens per cycle can be tested, accommodating diverse laboratory needs.
Q: When should the leak tester be calibrated for optimal accuracy?
A: Annual calibration is recommended for maintaining high measurement accuracy (0.5% F.S.). Regular calibration ensures the device continues to meet compliance and delivers reliable test results throughout its operating lifespan.
Q: Where can this leak tester be used, and what environments is it suitable for?
A: This benchtop unit is designed for use in laboratory, blood bank, and quality control settings. It operates best within environmental conditions of 20%-85% relative humidity and 10C-40C, and is ideal for both clinical and research laboratories.
Q: What is the process for loading samples and conducting a leak test?
A: Samples can be loaded using a manual tray or a semi-automatic feed. After placement, the test can be initiated in automatic or manual mode. The system conducts leak checks at up to 60 specimens per minute, providing results with a response time of 2 seconds.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this leak tester for blood collection tubes?
A: The main advantages include non-destructive testing, rapid throughput, high detection sensitivity, compliance with global standards, easy data export and storage, multilingual support, and robust safety systems. This ensures both product quality and laboratory efficiency.
Q: How can test reports be accessed and exported from the device?
A: All test data is stored in the tester's built-in memory and can be easily exported via USB. Users can choose between digital formats such as PDF or CSV, ensuring seamless data integration with laboratory information systems and facilitating regulatory audits.
