    摘要: A method for monitoring a cleaning process for a soiled medical device. The method involves cleaning the soiled device with a cleaning liquid in a cleaning chamber, exposing a detector to the cleaning liquid to measure the amount of soil removed, determining whether a sufficient amount of the soil has been removed from the soiled device so that the soiled device can be sterilized, and sterilizing the soiled device. One method of determining the amount of soil is by detecting the signal generated from the reaction between a chemical and the soil. Another method is to provide a soiled standard and measure the amount of soil removed from the soiled standard to determine whether enough soil has been removed from the soiled standard so that the soiled device can be sterilized. Another method involves measuring the amount of soil removed from the soiled device with at least two detectors.

    摘要: A method for cleaning/sterilizing a medical device with a lumen comprises the steps of: a) providing a container having one enclosure and one openable and closeable interface separating the container and the enclosure, b) placing the device on a tray, c) placing the tray into the container and enclosure so that one end of the device and a portion of the tray are located in the container and the other end of the device and another portion of the tray are located in the enclosure, d) creating a pressure difference between the two ends, e) cleaning the device with a cleaning solution, f) rinsing the device with rinse solution, g) treating the device with a chemical germicide. An apparatus for cleaning/sterilizing a device with a lumen comprises a container having at least two separated close compartments. An openable and closeable interface separates the container into the compartments. A tray is adapted to be placed in the two compartments crossing the interface for accommodating the device, so that one end of the device is in one compartment and the other end is in the other compartment. A source for creating a pressure difference is provided. A cleaning mechanism adapted to clean the device is also provided.

    摘要: A device for use with an endoscope is provided. The device allows the equalization of the pressure between an internal space of the endoscope and an environment outside the endoscope. The device includes a housing defining an opening, a gas-transmissive removal zone in the opening and at least one hydrophobic breathable membrane between the gas-transmissive removal zone and the environment. The housing of the device is adapted to receive a port that is connected to an internal space of the endoscope. The gas-transmissive removal zone includes a desiccant material and a material which removes an antimicrobial agent.

    摘要: A method sterilizes a device having a diffusion restricted area and a non-diffusion restricted area. The method includes the steps of contacting the device with liquid sterilant outside or inside a sterilization chamber fluidly connected to at least one pump, placing the device in the chamber (before or after the contacting step), bringing the pressure of the chamber to a first pressure range at which liquid sterilant is vaporized from the non-diffusion restricted area to sterilize the non-diffusion restricted area, and bringing the pressure of the chamber to a second pressure range at which the liquid sterilant is vaporized from the diffusion restricted area to sterilize the diffusion restricted area. The minimum pressure in the second pressure range is lower than the maximum pressure in the first pressure range.
