Abstract
Protective equipment (10) intended for cleaning endoscopic medical instruments (100), having a tubular part (120) to be cleaned and electronic components (110) to be protected, the equipment (10) comprising a box body (11) internally delimiting a housing compartment (12) and formed of a first base part (13), for housing the electronic components (110), and a second closing part (14) configured to be selectively coupled to the first part (13) between a closed state and a separated state. The first part (13) comprises a first coupling edge (19) having a first unique interlocking zone (21) and the second part (14) comprises a second coupling edge (20) configured to be coupled to the first coupling edge (19) and having a second unique interlocking zone (22), designed to uniquely associate by form coupling with the first unique interlocking zone (21).
