    摘要: Presented herein are techniques for cleaning the interior/internal lumens (e.g., channels, cylinders, valve sockets and connectors, etc.) of an apparatus, such as a medical device (medical instrument), using contaminant-detaching fluidic compositions. In particular, the techniques presented herein introduce an apportioned amount of a contaminant-detaching fluidic composition into an interior lumen of a medical device. The contaminant-detaching fluidic composition is configured, and propelled through at least a portion of the interior lumen device, so that the contaminant-detaching fluidic composition can clean the walls of the interior lumen (e.g., interact with the walls of interior lumen to remove contaminants there from).

    摘要: An endoscope reprocessor includes: a holding member to/from which a filtering tool is attachable and detachable; a fluid introduction conduit and a fluid discharge conduit that communicate with the filtering tool in a state in which the filtering tool is attached to the holding member; a moving member configured to, when the filtering tool is attached to the holding member and a weight of the filtering tool is less than a predetermined value, position the filtering tool in a first position and, when the filtering tool is attached to the holding member and the weight of the filtering tool is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, position the filtering tool in a second position that is different from the first position; and a hindering unit configured to, when the filtering tool is positioned in the second position, hinder removal of the filtering tool from the holding member.

    摘要: A cleaning assembly for cleaning a surgical instrument includes a first cleaning segment and a second cleaning segment. The first and second cleaning segments present a respective first and second cleaning interface configured to be contacted by a first surgical instrument. The first and second cleaning segments collectively define an instrument receiving channel sized and shaped to receive therein a second surgical instrument to thereby secure the first and second cleaning segments to the second surgical instrument. At least one buffer layer is disposed on an inside surface of one or both the first and second cleaning segments, the buffer layer positioned so as to contact the second surgical instrument when the second surgical instrument is positioned within the instrument receiving channel. At least one tab extends from the cleaning assembly, the tab providing an interface for a user to grasp the cleaning assembly.
