ABSTRACT:
A tube apparatus is provided to detect successful or failed tube operations. The tube apparatus includes jaws mounted for movement with respect to one another between (1) a first position spaced from one another and (2) a second position selected to perform a successful tube operation. A sensor is positioned to detect when the jaws have moved into the second position, and a timer is electrically coupled to the sensor for determining the time delay before the jaws have moved into the second position, wherein a time delay up to a predetermined time limit indicates a successful tube operation and a time delay exceeding the predetermined limit indicates a failed tube operation.
