ATI Corporation SLT-02 Syringe Leak Tester

The prevention of air leakage past the syringe plunger stopper during aspiration is crucial to ensure accurate dosing and patient safety. If air leaks into the syringe, it can introduce air bubbles into the medication, which could lead to complications such as air embolism or incorrect medication delivery. A secure seal is vital for maintaining the precise volume of fluid being drawn into the syringe, ensuring that the right amount of medication is administered to the patient.
The separation of the plunger stopper from the plunger can compromise the syringe’s functionality, making it impossible to expel fluid or create a proper seal. If the stopper detaches during use, it could lead to the failure of the syringe, potentially causing incomplete injections or even dangerous medication errors. Ensuring the stopper remains securely attached to the plunger is essential for the syringe to perform its intended function reliably and safely throughout its use.
