Problems solved by technology

[0013] This document considers the case of connecting an endoscope to a single piece of equipment to be cleaned and disinfected, but does not take into account the problem that the endoscope undergoes a reconditioning cycle consisting of several reconditioning steps (which are usually three steps as described above)
[0014] Thus, neither of the aforementioned documents WO2009 / 143201A nor US2012 / 0031506A deals with medical devices that have undergone multiple reconstitution steps that may become contaminated, in particular after being handled repeatedly (eg transferring the medical device from one step to another) Contamination problems (eg endoscopes)

Abstract

A method for restoring a medical device, comprising: a first step of connecting a medical device (16) to a connector (11); one or more intermediate steps of restoring the medical device (16), wherein the connection is The connector (11) of the medical device (16) is associated with a corresponding resetting docking connector (12a-12c); once the resetting cycle is complete, the final step of disconnecting the connector (11) from the medical device (16).

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described herein relate to a method and apparatus for restoring medical instruments, particularly endoscopes. [0002] The term "reconstitution" in the present invention and in this specification generally refers to a complete cycle of processing medical devices, such as pre-cleaning, cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage of medical devices. Background technique [0003] It is known that there are tubular flexible medical devices made of various materials, in particular metals, plastics and / or rubber used in the medical field, which are introduced by natural or artificial routes for the purpose of exploring , inspection with optical equipment, or emptying of the body's natural cavities. These endoscopic instruments may for example be colonoscopes, bronchoscopes, gastroscopes or other instruments. [0004] These flexible endoscopes allow examination and / or intervention of a patient in a non-invasive manner and act from within the body...
