Leak detector widely used in medical
applications
The H2000 leak detector offers flexible detection solutions for a variety of medical applications such as testing medical implants, medical consumables, medical instrumentation and medical packaging
The H2000 leak detector from Sensistor Technologies offers flexible detection solutions for a variety of medical applications such as testing medical implants, medical consumables, medical instrumentation and medical packaging - including the ability to locate leaks in balloon catheters, collection bags, blood bags, IV bags, and nourishment bags The new instrument is based on the hydrogen method, which, unlike alternative techniques using water baths, pressure decay or mass spectrometers, allows it to test with short cycle times and reliable results, regardless of temperature variations or the test object shape

Hydrogen leak detector is compact and sensitive
The new H2000 from Sensistor Technologies is a compact, rugged instrument using the hydrogen tracer gas technique for industrial leak detection and tightness control
It can be used to detect leaks that are dimensionally smaller than bacteria.
Unlike traditional multi-step methods for leak detection, the H2000 allows for seamless testing of medical bags by simplifying the process into one step, improving productivity and efficiency.
The H2000 releases a harmless mix of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen into the bag, causing it to inflate.
A probe then provides instant leak detection and easy identification of the leak source.
Once the bag is inflated and the leak has been identified, the bag is deflated back to its original form or shape.
The relatively low gas pressure eliminates the need for bag restraint and minimises the possibility of damaging the sample.
The H2000 is compact, robust and easily transportable, making it suitable for leak detection in various environments and offering the capability of moving around when searching for leaks on large objects.
It is entirely electronic, requiring no pumps, valves, or vacuums, and thus needs minimum maintenance.
The H2000 also features dynamic background compensation to minimise problems with background interference from other gases.
The instrument features a standard probe with no sample suction, eliminating the possibility of dust contamination.
The probe can also be equipped with a protective cover to allow leak detection on wet objects.
If damaged, the operator can easily replace the probe in just a few seconds.
In addition, standard settings on the instrument can be easily changed using the H2000 user-friendly display menu.
