Medical endoscopic cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing device and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a medical endoscopic cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing device and a medical endoscopic cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing method. The invention aims to provide the medical endoscopic cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing device which is easy and convenient to operate and sterilizes completely. The invention adopts a technical scheme that the medical endoscopic cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing device is characterized by comprising a cleaning and sterilizing chamber, wherein the cleaning and sterilizing chamber has inlets and outlets respectively; a closed endoscopic tray which is positioned in the cleaning and sterilizing chamber and is used for communicating each pair of inlet and outlet of the cleaning and sterilizing chamber is arranged between the pair of inlet and outlet; the outlets of the cleaning and sterilizing chamber are connected with a constant-temperature water tank connected with an external water supply device and a circulating water pump in turn by a circulating pipe, then the circulating water pump is connected to the inlet of the cleaning and sterilizing chamber and thus, a circulating loop is formed; the constant-temperature water tank is connected with a cleaning enzyme solution device by a pipe; and a drying and sterilizing device which is communicated with the circulating pipe is arranged on the circulating pipe. The device and the method are applicable to cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilizing treatment and storage of medical hard endoscopes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilization of medical endoscopes. It is suitable for medical flexible endoscopes, as well as for cleaning, drying and low-temperature sterilization of various medical rigid endoscopes; at the same time, it can also be used as a storage container for sterilized endoscopes to solve the problem of preventing endoscopes during storage and transportation after sterilization. Recontamination problem. Background technique [0002] Various types of endoscopes commonly used in medical treatment mainly include flexible endoscopes, rigid endoscopes and accessories. It needs to be cleaned and disinfected after clinical diagnosis and treatment operations for reuse. [0003] At present, there are two main methods of cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes in clinical practice: one is manual cleaning, in which the endoscopes are immersed, rinsed, disinfected, and dried in a specia...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing endoscope decontamination machines can only perform simple cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes, and cannot completely sterilize them; after cleaning and disinfection, endoscopes are taken out and transported in a naked way, and there is a risk of re-contamination when exposed to indoor air ; endoscope storage needs to be placed in a dedicated endoscope disinfection storage cabinet

[0004] For endoscopes that need to be completely sterilized, after cleaning and drying, they must be sterilized in another low-temperature sterilization equipment, which takes a long time and requires a variety of equipment to operate, which is extremely inconvenient
