Abstract

An endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus includes: a connecting portion connected to a bending transmitting portion of an endoscope to transmit driving force; a distal end driving portion for transmitting the driving force to the bending transmitting portion through the connecting portion; a fluid supplying unit for supplying gas into an inner space of the endoscope; and a control unit for controlling a pressure detecting portion for detecting pressure in the inner space and the distal end driving portion to provide the bending portion with bending motion, and for determining occurrence or nonoccurrence of water leak in the endoscope by comparing the pressure detected by the pressure detecting portion and a preset threshold.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an endoscope cleaning and disinfection device for detecting water leakage when cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope and a water leakage detection method using the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device. Background technique [0002] Endoscopes used for examination or treatment in body cavities need to be cleaned and disinfected after use. When using an endoscope, not only the outer surface of the insertion part inserted into the body cavity, but also the air and water supply lines, suction lines, front water supply lines, and treatment instrument penetration lines, etc., are also contaminated. things. Therefore, the used endoscope must be cleaned and disinfected not only on the outer surface, but also on the inside of each pipeline. [0003] When cleaning and disinfecting an endoscope using an endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device (hereinafter also referred to as "cleaning device"), first, the used endoscope is st...
