Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned existing examples, there is no particular description on how to quickly and reliably sterilize the inside of the elongated tube built into the endoscope, and the end of the endoscope is directed toward the outside of the endoscope. wide open
In addition, in existing examples, it is quite time-consuming to autoclave the middle part of the endoscope inside the above-mentioned tube.
Therefore, it is also conceivable to provide the above-mentioned endoscope with a steam inlet hole communicated with the pipeline, during the autoclave sterilization, steam enters the inside of the endoscope through the steam inlet hole, and the steam from the pipeline External heating heats the entire tube to increase the sterilization efficiency, but in fact, the endoscope is stored in the tray, and depending on the stored state, the tube opening of the endoscope or the above-mentioned steam inlet hole is covered by the tray. Partial clogging, there is a possibility that the inside of the pipeline cannot be quickly sterilized

Abstract

An endoscope system, comprising an endoscope (2) having pipeline opening parts (23 to 26)(pipeline tip parts (40a, 43a, 45a) and a ventilation part (37) as a steam admission port, and a storage case (34) having a tray (35) storing the endoscope (2) in a specified state. A restriction part (49) storing and restricting the endoscope (2) in a recessed part is formed in the tray (35). The restriction part (49) comprises first to fourth restriction area parts (49a to 49d) corresponding to the opening parts of the pipeline opening parts (23 to 26) (40a, 43a, 45a) and the ventilation part (37). These first to fourth restriction area parts (49a to 49d) are formed to have clearances (space portions) (49A to 49D) with areas larger than the cross sectional areas of the opening parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sterilizing storage box for accommodating an endoscope when sterilizing the endoscope with high-temperature and high-pressure steam, and an endoscope system using the sterilizing storage box. Background technique [0002] Endoscopes are widely used in the medical field because endoscopes can be inserted into body cavities to observe deep parts of body cavities, etc., or to perform therapeutic treatments using treatment tools as needed. [0003] In the case of medical endoscopes, reliable disinfection and sterilization of used endoscopes is essential for preventing infection and the like. [0004] Recently, in the case of disinfection and sterilization, autoclave sterilization (high temperature and high pressure steam sterilization) has gradually become the mainstream as a sterilization method for endoscope equipment, which is not accompanied by complicated work, and sterilization It can be used immediately after ster...
