Problems solved by technology

[0004] According to the structure of the densitometer, like the densitometer disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-126046, there is a problem that the measuring surface cannot be immediately measured only by pressing the measuring surface against the spongy porous material wetted with the storage solution. wet condition
That is, there is a possibility that there will be a waiting time until the concentration measurement of the chemical solution by the densitometer is started.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0026] Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. figure 1 The endoscope washer-disinfector 1 shown is a device for reusing an endoscope. The reuse treatment mentioned here is not particularly limited, and may be water-based rinsing treatment, cleaning treatment to remove dirt such as organic matter, disinfection treatment to inactivate predetermined microorganisms, sterilization treatment to eliminate or kill all microorganisms, and the above-mentioned treatments any of the combinations.

[0027] In addition, in the following description, upward means upward in the direction of gravity, and downward means downward in the direction of gravity. In addition, height in the following description shows the height relationship along the gravitational direction.

[0028] The endoscope washer-disinfector 1 includes a control unit 5 , a power supply unit 6 , a treatment tank 2 , a chemical solution container 20 , a first detachable unit 60 ...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0107] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, only the points of difference from the first embodiment will be described, and the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same components as those in the first embodiment, and descriptions thereof will be appropriately omitted.

[0108] Figure 6 It is a figure which shows the schematic structure of the storage liquid container 70 of this embodiment. Such as Figure 6 As shown, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 according to this embodiment includes a densitometer information reading unit 74 . The densitometer information reading unit 74 detects whether the second detachable unit 71 is holding the densitometer 80 , and outputs the detection result to the control unit 5 .

[0109]The structure of the densitometer information reading unit 74 is not particularly limited. For example, the densitometer information reading unit 74 may be a contact switch that changes output informa...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0114] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, only the points of difference from the first and second embodiments will be described, and the same reference numerals will be assigned to the same components as those in the first and second embodiments, and descriptions thereof will be appropriately omitted.

[0115] Figure 7 It is a figure which shows the schematic structure of the storage liquid container 70 of this embodiment. Such as Figure 7 As shown, the endoscope washer-disinfector 1 according to this embodiment includes a temperature adjustment unit 75 that adjusts the temperature of the storage solution 79 so that the temperature falls within a predetermined temperature range.

[0116] The temperature adjustment unit 75 has any one of a configuration for heating the storage solution 79 , a configuration for cooling the storage solution 79 , and a combination of a configuration for heating the storage solution 79 and a config...

Abstract

The endoscope cleaning and disinfecting machine of the present invention comprises: a liquid medicine container, which is used to store the liquid medicine; a first dismounting part, which is arranged on the liquid medicine container, and the first dismounting part makes the measuring surface of the densitometer The densitometer is detachably held by being disposed in the chemical solution container; a storage solution container is used to store the storage solution of the densitometer; and a second detachable part is provided in the storage The second detachable part holds the densitometer in a detachable manner so that the measurement surface of the densitometer is disposed in the storage liquid container.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope washer-disinfector for reusing an endoscope using a chemical solution. Background technique [0002] Endoscopes used in the medical field are subjected to recycling processes such as cleaning and disinfection after use. In addition, there is known an endoscope washer-disinfector that automatically recycles endoscopes. The endoscope washer-disinfector includes a chemical solution container for storing the chemical solution used in the recycling process. In addition, in order to judge whether or not the chemical solution used in the recycling process can be used, a densitometer for measuring the concentration of the chemical solution as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-126046 may be used. [0003] If the measuring surface of the densitometer in contact with the chemical solution is in a dry state during the concentration measurement, compared with the case where the ...
