Problems solved by technology

[0007] Here, when the concentration of the chemical solution is lower than the effective concentration, it is necessary to extract the chemical solution in the chemical solution tank and replace it with a new one. However, the endoscope washer-disinfector cannot be used to To continue the liquid treatment process, it is necessary to stop the endoscope washer-disinfector
[0008] However, for example, in the case of a large number of medical solution treatments for an endoscope, the concentration of the medical solution may fall below the effective concentration lower limit before the number of times of medical solution treatment that is appropriate for the user is completed.
[0009] In this case, it is necessary to stop the endoscope washer-disinfector as described above, so there is a need to correspondingly increase the processing time of the chemical solution and cause problems in the inspection and disposal of the endoscope treated with the chemical solution. issues such as impact

[0033] figure 1 It is a figure schematically showing the structure of the endoscope cleaning and disinfection apparatus of this embodiment, figure 2 yes means figure 1 A chart of the disinfection parameters stored in the storage unit of the endoscope cleaning and disinfection device.

[0034] Such as figure 1 As shown, the endoscope cleaning and disinfecting device 1 includes an endoscope storage unit 4, a liquid medicine tank 58, a liquid medicine transfer unit 65, a first adjustment unit 73, a concentration detection unit 74, a control unit 70 with a comparison unit 75, and a storage unit. Part 79 constitutes the main part.

[0035] The endoscope storage unit 4 is used to store the endoscope 100 to be treated with the disinfectant solution. In the disinfection process, the endoscope 100 is immersed in the disinfectant solution M stored in the endoscope storage unit 4 .

Abstract

An endoscope reprocessor according to the present invention is provided with: an endoscope accommodating portion (4); a medicinal-solution tank (58) that accumulates medicinal solution (M); a medicinal-solution transferring portion (65) that transfers the medicinal solution (M) from the medicinal-solution tank (58) to the endoscope accommodating portion (4); a comparison unit (75) that compares the concentration of the medicinal solution (M) with a first reference concentration; a first adjustment unit (73) that increases the reaction rate of the medicinal solution (M); and a control unit (70) to which the comparison unit (75) and the first adjustment unit (73) are connected and that drives the first adjustment unit (73) when the comparison unit (75) determines that the concentration of the medicinal solution (M) is lower than the first reference concentration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope washer-disinfector provided with an endoscope accommodating part for accommodating an endoscope and immersing the endoscope in a chemical solution. Background technique [0002] The chemical solution treatment of the endoscope using the endoscope washer-disinfector is carried out by the operation of supplying the chemical solution stored in the chemical solution tank through the chemical solution line to the endoscope along with the driving of the chemical solution transfer unit. In the endoscope housing part, the endoscope is brought into contact with the medical solution at a set temperature for a predetermined time. [0003] In addition, in order to reliably perform the medical solution treatment of the endoscope without reducing the efficacy of the drug, it is important to control the concentration of the chemical solution. This is because there are components in the chemical solution whose concentrati...
