Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, the processing liquid in the cleaning tank is only discharged from the cleaning tank after the process is completed, so the processing liquid will remain in the cleaning tank or on the outer skin of the endoscope.
Therefore, after the cleaning process is completed, if the disinfectant solution is supplied to the cleaning tank, the treatment solution (cleaning solution or rinsing water) in the cleaning process will be mixed with the disinfectant solution to dilute the disinfectant solution and reduce the disinfection ability.
In addition, after the disinfection p...

Embodiment approach

[0336] On the other hand, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, as described above, deterioration and reduction of the disinfectant solution can be suitably achieved.

[0337] Therefore, according to the washing machine 210 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to stably perform proper cleaning of the endoscope 250, reduce the usage amount (filling amount) of the disinfectant solution and suppress the running cost, and shorten the length of the endoscope. The time for the cleaning process of the mirror 250 can be quickly and efficiently handled even when the endoscope 250 needs to be used repeatedly.

[0338] In the washer 210 of the second embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the cover body 220 of the cleaning tank 214 is not particularly limited, as long as it can be closed, it is preferable that the cleaning tank 214 (in the tank) can be closed in a substantially airtight (especially airtight) manner. ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a endoscope washer, including a basin for receiving an endoscope to be washed; a rack which secures thereto a portion of the endoscope and moves vertically within the basin; a drive unit for vertically moving the rack; a positioning member for adjusting a rack stopping position when the endoscope is to be set on the rack; and a drive control unit for controlling the drive unit based on computed results from the positioning member. For the endoscope washer, user may set the endoscope effectively and simply. In addition, the endoscope washer can blow air into the basin after completing the process of cleaning, disinfecting and flushing, to restrain the dilution/deterioration and reduce of used-repeatedly disinfecting liquid suitably.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope cleaning machine that automatically cleans an endoscope, and more specifically, to an endoscope cleaning machine having a grid for holding an endoscope or capable of suppressing deterioration and consumption of disinfectant and also enabling treatment Time-shortened endoscope cleaning machine. [0002] Here, "cleaning an endoscope" in the specification of the present invention refers to carrying out a cleaning process including cleaning the endoscope with a cleaning solution, a disinfection process of disinfecting the endoscope after cleaning with the cleaning solution, and performing a cleaning process on the sterilized endoscope. The cleaning process of cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope in the washing process of the endoscope means "cleaning" in a broad sense, and the cleaning process refers to cleaning the endoscope with a cleaning solution, which means "cleaning" in a narrow sense.
