摘要:
Provided are a system of cleaning the inside of an endoscope channel and a method of cleaning the inside of an endoscope channel, which allows to reduce a burden on an operator with enhanced safety with infection and contamination and a high cleaning effect. A first cleaning element 11 and a second cleaning element 12 are formed in a rotational symmetry with a given axis, provided with an external diameter larger than an inner diameter of a channel 1 of an endoscope and elastic in a direction perpendicular to the axis. The first cleaning element 11 is provided with a magnetic body. The first cleaning element 11 and the second cleaning element 12 are inserted into the inside of a channel 1 of an endoscope to conform the axial direction with a length direction of the channel 1. Cleaning water is injected into the channel 1 to move the first cleaning element 11 and the second cleaning element 12 inside the channel 1. A magnet of a guiding device 13 configured outside the channel 1 is acted on the magnetic body of the first cleaning element 11 to guide the first cleaning element to a branch channel 1b.
摘要:
[PROBLEMS] To provide: a method of cleaning an endoscope by which the endoscope can be effectively cleaned while being inhibited from deteriorating; and a cleaning apparatus and endoscope-cleaning apparatus. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] An electrolytic cell (11) can produce from tap water an acidic water having a pH of 2-5 and a residual chlorine concentration of 50-300 ppm. An acidic-water tank (14) can store the acidic water, part of which can be supplied to an acidic-water dilution tank (17) and other part of which can be supplied to a high-concentration-water supply part (20). A diluting-water supply part (16) can supply diluting water to the acidic-water dilution tank (17). In the acidic-water dilution tank (17), diluting water from the diluting-water supply part (16) is added to that part of the acidic water which has been sent from the acidic-water tank (14), whereby a diluted acidic water having a pH of 2.3-5.7 and a residual chlorine concentration of 10-60 ppm can be prepared. The high-concentration-water supply part (20) can feed that other part of the acidic water which has been supplied from the acidic-water tank (14) to the opening of an endoscope channel through a channel connection opening (20c).
摘要:
Provided are a method of cleaning an endoscope, a washing machine and a washing machine for endoscope, which can effectively clean an endoscope while preventing the endoscope from deterioration. The electrolytic cell 11 can produce from tap water acidic water with pH of 2 to 5 and the residual chlorine concentration of 50 to 300 ppm. A tank for acidic water 14 can store acidic water, in which part thereof can be fed to a tank of diluting acidic water 17 and the rest thereof can be fed to a feed section of concentrated water 20. A water feed section for dilution 16 can feed water for dilution to the tank of diluting acidic water 17. The tank of diluting acidic water 17 can add water for dilution from the water feed section for dilution 16 to part of the acidic water from the tank for acidic water 14 to adjust diluted acidic water to pH of 2.3 to 5.7 and the residual chlorine concentration of 10 to 60 ppm. The feed section of concentrated water 20 can feed the rest of acidic water fed from the tank for acidic water 14 through a channel connection port 20c to a channel port of an endoscope.
