Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for a suction valve assembly for a medical device. The suction valve assembly includes a valve body, a sliding shaft, and a flap seal. The valve body has a central channel extending vertically between a vent opening in the top and a working opening in the bottom and a side opening extending from the central channel to the side surface. The sliding shaft has upper and lower openings and moves within the central channel between an upper position where its upper opening is above the vent opening, and a lower position where it extends into the working opening and unseats the flap seal.

Abstract: Hangers and hanging systems for hanging a fluid reservoir relative to an endoscope cart. An illustrative hanger may comprise a generally planar base plate and an arched member extending from an upper surface of the base plate. The arched member may include a first generally “U” shaped region and a second generally “U” shaped region. At least one arm may extend from the arched member, the at least one arm configured to receive a tubing. The second generally “U” shaped region may be configured to receive a portion of a fluid reservoir.

Abstract: A valve assembly with improved sealing. The valve assembly may be configured for use as a suction valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a valve well, and a valve shaft movable with respect to the valve well to shift the valve assembly between off and on configurations. A cylindrical sealing member is circumferentially positioned about the valve shaft to seal around a transverse port extending transversely through the valve shaft and in fluid communication, via a channel within the valve shaft, with an axial port at an end of the valve shaft. The cylindrical seal member seals the transverse port of the valve shaft (and a transverse valve well port in fluid communication therewith) from fluid communication with the axial port of the valve shaft (and an axial valve well port in fluid communication therewith) when the valve shaft assembly is within the valve well.

Abstract: Methods and systems for refilling a container during an endoscopic procedure. An illustrative reservoir may be placed in selective fluid communication with a water bottle. The water bottle may form a fluid tight seal with the reservoir to transfer water from the water bottle to the reservoir.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for a suction valve assembly for a medical device. The suction valve assembly includes a valve body, a sliding shaft, and a shaft seal. The valve body has central channel extending vertically between a vent opening in the top and a working opening in the bottom and a side channel extending from the central channel to the side surface. A plurality of vertical recesses in the central channel extend from the top of the valve body, having bottoms above the side channel. The shaft seal is attached to the exterior surface of the sliding shaft and moves to seat against the recess bottoms to obstruct air flow between the side channel and the vent opening.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for a suction valve assembly for a medical device. The suction valve assembly includes a cylindrical valve body, a valve cap, a sliding shaft, and a lower seal. The valve body has a vent opening at the top, a working opening in at bottom, and a suction source opening in the side surface. The valve cap, sliding shaft, and lower seal move vertically relative to the valve body between an upper position, where the lower seal is seated against the valve body and obstructs the working opening, and a lower position, wherein the lower seal is below the working opening and allows suction through the suction source opening.
