Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine

The equipment is suitable for leak detection of various catheters. This is a small machine with 6+station, so it has high production capacity, and easy to operate.
The operator inserts the inflation nozzle into the tube, and then close the other end of the catheter with the fixture, the detector will inflate and hold pressure for certain time. At the same time, the operator can continue next station, and so on. After the 6th station operating, the 1st station has finish detection program, the operator can remove the catheter, and insert a new one.
If a defective product appears, you will see the pressure value and the pressure line is out of acceptable range in the touch screen. Meanwhile, there are alarm sound and alert light happen in the corresponding station. All leaks will be detected, no product will be ignored.
High-precision differential pressure sensors are applied in the detection machine, so the qualification rate for the product is more than 99.98%.
We have a comprehensive after-sales service system. A set of consumable parts will be included with the equipment. Additionally, within 12 months after shipment, if there is a need for consumable parts due to factors not caused by human error, we will still provide them free of charge.

Product Overview


The Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine is an advanced, high-precision device used to inspect catheters for leaks, ensuring that each product meets strict safety and quality standards before reaching the market.


Manufactured by Suzhou HETRO Automation Equipment Co., Ltd., the Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine utilizes state-of-the-art technology to perform leak testing on a wide range of catheters, including suction catheter, oxygen tube, infusion tube and nutritional tube. The machine works by applying a specific pressure to the tube, detecting any leaks in the process. This non-destructive testing ensures that each medical tube is safe and free from any defects that could compromise its functionality or safety.


Key Features:


  • Advanced Leak Detection Technology: The machine uses a variety of methods, such as vacuum decay or pressure decay, to detect even the smallest leaks.


  • High Precision and Sensitivity: Equipped with high-sensitivity sensors, it can detect the most minute leaks, ensuring the highest quality control.


  • Automated Process: The detection process is fully automated, reducing human intervention and increasing production efficiency.


  • Compliance with Industry Standards: It meets the rigorous standards required for medical packaging, including ISO and GMP certifications.


  • User-Friendly Interface: The touch-screen interface allows operators to easily set up the machine, monitor the testing process, and adjust settings as needed.


  • Fast and Efficient: The machine can perform leak detection at high speeds, making it ideal for large-scale production environments.


Key Applications


The Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of medical tubes across various applications. Some of the key applications of the machine include:


1. Suction Catheter

The suction catheter is mainly used to help clear sputum, secretions, and other foreign objects from the respiratory tract to maintain airway patency and prevent or relieve respiratory obstruction. Whether the suction catheter leaks or not not only affects the care of patients but also has a significant impact on the health of caregivers and the working environment. The Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine ensures that these catheters are leak-free .


2. Oxygen Tube

The primary function of a nasal cannula is to provide additional oxygen supply to patients in order to improve respiratory function and maintain blood oxygen levels. If there is a leak, it may endanger the patient's life.


3. Infusion Tube

The Infusion Tube is an important tool in medical care, primarily used to administer liquid medications, nutritional fluids, or other therapeutic liquids into the patient's body. A well-designed infusion tube can make the treatment process more effective while also reducing the risk of medical contamination. The Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine ensures these tubes are sealed correctly, maintaining hygiene and preventing contamination.


4. Nutritional Tube

Nutritional tubes are capable of directly infusing nutritional fluids into the patient's gastrointestinal tract, meeting the patient's needs for nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. A well-designed nutritional tube can provide safer and more reliable care for patients.


5. Other Medical Tube

In addition to the above applications, the Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine can be used to test a variety of other tubes, including urethral catheters, gastric tubes, and aspiration catheter etc.



Maintenance Tips


Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity and consistent performance of the Medical Catheter Leak Detection Machine. Below are some essential maintenance tips to keep the machine running at its optimal performance:


1. Regular Cleaning

The machine should be cleaned regularly to remove dust, dirt, and any residue that might accumulate during the production process. Clean the testing area and sensors carefully, ensuring that no debris interferes with the leak detection process. Use appropriate cleaning agents that do not damage the machine’s components.


2. Check for Wear and Tear

Inspect the machine regularly for any signs of wear and tear, especially the sealing elements and sensors. The seals and gaskets should be checked for any damage or degradation, as this could affect the accuracy of the leak tests. Replace any worn-out components promptly to avoid inaccurate readings.


3. Calibration of Sensors

Sensors play a critical role in detecting leaks, and they must be calibrated regularly to maintain accuracy. Perform sensor calibration at regular intervals, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, to ensure the machine delivers reliable results. Calibration should also be carried out whenever the machine is relocated or if the testing environment changes.


4. Monitor the Vacuum or Pressure System

The vacuum or pressure systems used in the leak detection process should be checked regularly for any leaks or pressure fluctuations. These systems are vital for performing accurate tests, so any issues should be addressed promptly to avoid incorrect testing results.


5. Keep the Testing Chamber Sealed

Ensure that the testing chamber or enclosure where the medical tubes are placed is kept sealed and clean. Any external air leaks or contamination inside the chamber could impact the testing results, leading to false positives or negatives. Clean and inspect the chamber regularly to ensure a proper seal during testing.


6. Replace Filters and Consumables

The machine includes filters of pressure system, these should be replaced regularly. Dirty or clogged filters can impair the functionality of the machine and reduce the accuracy of leak detection.
