Embodiment Construction

[0021] FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus 100 has a washing tank 1 in which a washing chamber is formed, and the endoscope 2 can be installed in the washing tank 1 to perform washing and disinfection. The washing tub 1 is provided with a cover 40 which can be opened and closed and forms the top surface of the washing chamber, and the endoscope 2 can be installed in the washing tub 1 by opening the lid 40 .

[0022] A vibrating plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the washing tub 1 . The vibrating plate 4 is formed by, for example, a Langevin type ultrasonic vibrator 3 attached to the bottom surface of the washing tub 1 , and can ultrasonically vibrate in the washing liquid retained in the washing tub 1 .

[0023] Moreover, the washing tank 1 is provided with the washing liquid injection po...

Abstract

To provide an apparatus for washing and sterilizing an endoscope, with which remaining water in the internal pipeline of an endoscope can efficiently and speedily be removed. SOLUTION: This apparatus 100 is provided with an equipment body 100A provided with a pipeline for supplying liquid and gas and a washing tub 1 to which the endoscope to be washed and sterilized is set, and connecting pipelines 30a, 30b and 30c connecting the inner pipeline of the endoscope 2 set in the washing tank 1 and the equipment body 100A. At least in the middle of a path from the connection part of the connecting pipeline 30b and the equipment body 100A to the connection part of the connecting pipeline 30a and the endoscope 2, a gap or hole is formed for releasing the fluid flowing through the inside of this path.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an endoscope washing and sterilizing device for washing and sterilizing endoscopes. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, endoscopes have been widely used for internal inspection and treatment, and various pipelines for air supply, water supply, suction, and the like are incorporated in the endoscope. Moreover, the endoscope needs to be washed and disinfected on its outer surface and inner pipeline every time it is used. [0003] Although there are various types of endoscope washing and sterilizing apparatuses used for washing and sterilizing such endoscopes, they basically use a washing process of washing the endoscope with a detergent, and the use of a disinfectant. Washing and sterilizing the endoscope in the washing tank is performed by a series of steps such as a sterilization step of sterilizing the endoscope after washing, and other cleaning steps or drying steps. [0004] However, among the internal pipelines ...
