the microprocessor 196 operating to reject the condom 72 also the microprocessor 196 can further be programmed to keep track of the number of condoms 72 rejected during inflation periods for determining whether the test apparatus 186 should be checked for proper operation if an excessive number of condom 72 are so rejected also the microprocessor 196 can be programmed to monitor the operation of the test system by keeping track of the number of condoms 72 rejected and the number accepted by each test apparatus 186 if there are no rejects for a predetermined number x of tests or no acceptances for y tests the system is shut down for servicing of the test apparatus 186 also programming can provide that if there are no rejects made by the given test apparatus 186 for a predetermined number of tests or no acceptances for another predetermined number of tests that the system should be shut down for servicing another modification that can be made for example includes the use of a tag gas for inflating a condom 72 instead of air whereby instead of testing for increases of pressure in a region outside of the condom 72 a detector can be employed.
