Abstract

An endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus (1) includes an apparatus main body (2) equipped with a washing bath (4) in which an endoscope (101) is mounted; a nozzle unit (70) provided so as to face a connector portion (104) of an endoscope conduit provided in the endoscope mounted in the washing bath, to which fluid within the apparatus main body is supplied so that the nozzle unit advances due to pressure of the fluid, and which supplies the fluid to inside the endoscope conduit by connecting to the connector portion; and an automatic brush mechanism (80) that is provided in the apparatus main body and that carries out brushing and cleaning within the endoscope conduit by introducing a cleaning brush (81) into the endoscope conduit through the nozzle unit and moving the cleaning brush (81) forward and rearward.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an endoscope cleaning and disinfection device for cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes, in particular to an endoscope for automatically attaching and detaching a nozzle for supplying fluid into an endoscope channel to a connector part of the channel Cleaning and disinfection equipment. Background technique [0002] In recent years, endoscopes have been widely used in the medical and industrial fields. Endoscopes used in the medical field can observe internal organs in body cavities by inserting elongated insertion parts into body cavities, or perform various treatments using treatment tools inserted into through passages of treatment tools as needed. [0003] In particular, endoscopes in the medical field are inserted into body cavities for the purpose of inspection and treatment, and thus require cleaning and disinfection of the endoscopes. When cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope, use the endoscope cleaning and ...
