    Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a unit dose pack for forming a bath for cleaning medical instruments. The unit dose pack may comprise at least a first chamber that contains an enzymatic detergent composition comprising one or more enzymes, the first chamber being formed from at least one first sheet of material that comprises a water-soluble film, and the at least one first sheet of material encapsulating the enzymatic detergent composition, wherein upon immersion in water, the enzymatic detergent composition is released from the first chamber into the water. In other embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a method of cleaning a medical instrument using at least one such unit dose pack. In some embodiments, the medical instrument is an endoscope.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to fluid container enclosure systems that couple with a fluid container and enable different systems, such as endoscopic systems, to access the contents of the fluid container, such as via a tubing set. The enclosure systems are configured to fit a wide range of fluid container necks, ports, or other openings, including various opening dimensions, thread finishes, and/or thread dimensions. In one embodiments, an enclosure system may include a cap having multiple carriages arranged therein. For example, a primary carriage may be arranged within the cap to engage with larger-dimensioned bottles. A secondary carriage may be arranged to float within the primary carriage to engage smaller-dimensioned bottles that bypass the primary carriage. Other embodiments are described.

    Abstract: The cleaning valves (or valves) of the current disclosure are generally single-use devices (SUDs) and therefore disposable. Reusing SUDs can be disadvantageous, as single-use devices are not designed to be reusable. Accordingly, valves (or valve assemblies) for medical devices, such as endoscopes, disclosed may be configured to transition from a first state to a second state in response to utilization of the valve, e.g., to control fluid flow through a valve well. The transition from the first state to the second state may prevent reuse of valves of the present disclosure. For instance, a lumen between first and second orifices in a valve stem may be blocked or disconnected.

    Abstract: Methods and systems providing fluid flow to an endoscope. A container and tube set configured to couple to an endoscope may comprise a first container configured to contain a fluid, a first water supply tube including a first lumen extending therethrough and in fluid communication with the first container, a branched connector positioned in line with the first water supply tube and including a first fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet, and a second fluid outlet, a second container having a second fluid inlet in selective fluid communication with the second fluid outlet of the branched connector, a flow control valve positioned to obstruct flow between the second fluid outlet of the branched connector and the second fluid inlet of the second container, and a second water supply tube including a second lumen extending therethrough and in selective fluid communication with the bottom portion of the second container.

    Abstract: Various embodiments described hereby may separate one or more functionalities/components provided via the tower in order to alleviate the physical barrier created by the umbilicus and reduce the need of the umbilicus to connect to the tower. For example, the liquid source may be worn by the user (e.g., physician) or the liquid source may modularly attach to the endoscope, such as to the handle of the endoscope. Accordingly, several embodiments described hereby may improve user experience such as by giving the user greater freedom of movement without sacrificing functionality. Some embodiments provide a source and means of using water without requiring the umbilicus to physically attach to the tower, improving range and ease of motion for a user by removing the need to navigate about a water connector.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for refilling a container during an endoscopic procedure. An illustrative container may comprise a container configured to contain a fluid, a water supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a first lumen extending therethrough and in fluid communication with the bottom portion of the container, a gas supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a second lumen extending therethrough and in operative fluid communication with container, a manifold configured to couple the water supply tube and the gas supply tube to the container and including a first end positioned interior to the container and a second end positioned exterior to the container, and a port positioned adjacent to the top portion of the container. The port may be configured to be in selective fluid communication with an interior of the container.
