DRC-5 Surgical Container Leak Detector
DRC-5 is an ultrasonic test device that provides reliable and precise leak detection for surgical container systems. The transmitter placed inside the container emits ultrasonic sound waves; if there is a leak in the lid, such as gasket damage or deformation, the signal escapes and is picked up by the receiver, which gives a visual and audible alert.
Technical Information
Working Principle: Detection by Ultrasonic Sound Waves
The transmitter is placed inside the surgical container and emits ultrasonic sound waves. If there is a leak in the lid (e.g. a damaged gasket or deformation), the ultrasonic signal escapes through the leak point; the receiver detects it and gives a visual and audible alert.
Key Features
- Visual and audible alarm: LED indicator and audible alert when a leak is detected.
- Adjustable sensitivity: three-level sensitivity setting for precise and flexible use.
- Headphone connection: 3.5 mm headphone jack for use in noisy environments.
- Wide compatibility: works with paper, PTFE, valve or bio-barrier filter surgical containers.
- Portable and easy to use: compact, battery-powered design for routine leak tests.
Application Areas
- Routine leak testing of surgical containers
- Verifying container integrity after use
- Quality control and assurance in CSSD (Central Sterile Services Department) processes
