Abstract
A connector device connects an airtight endoscope with an air supply line for use in a system for checking the endoscope for leakage, by feeding air into the body of the endoscope. The endoscope has a retaining member and a communication port including a valve mechanism for opening and closing the passage of the port. A connector of the air supply line is connected airtight to the passage of the port. The connector is provided with a retaining mechanism which is adapted to removably engage the retaining member located close to the port, thereby holding the air supply line connector.
