Abstract: A machine for treating a medical apparatus, such as an endoscope washer-disinfector, can be integrated into a wall at an opening of the wall. The wall can separate a first enclosure with a controlled/non-controlled atmosphere from a second enclosure with a non-controlled/controlled atmosphere. The machine may include first and second openings configured to allow the medical apparatus to be loaded into/unloaded from the machine. The machine may also include first and second doors sealingly closing the openings. The machine may include a partitioning interface attached to the wall that closes the opening in the wall and a movable part that can be removed from the partitioning interface. The movable part can at least partially carry a pump and solenoid valve of the treatment system. The movable part can be positioned immediately adjacent to the partitioning interface when the treatment machine is in an operating position.

Abstract: A method of detecting connectivity of a biopsy channel of an endoscope during an endoscope reprocessing procedure may involve connecting a fluid supply line to the biopsy channel and a fluid detection sensor to a suction connector on the endoscope. After connection, a fluid can be introduced into the fluid supply line connected to the biopsy channel of the endoscope. The reprocessing machine can determine whether the fluid supply line is adequately connected to the biopsy channel of the endoscope based on detection of the fluid by the fluid detection sensor.
