Soft endoscope pipe brushing device

Abstract

A soft endoscope pipe brushing device comprises a control part, wherein the control part controls the device to operate; the device also comprises a brush conveying part connected with the control part through a circuit; the brush conveying part comprises a brush conveying casing, a hairbrush conveying channel part, a second input keyboard, a driving motor and a fixing and locking device; the brush conveying channel part and the second input keyboard are arranged on the brush conveying casing, the driving motor is arranged in the brush conveying casing and used for driving the brush conveyingchannel part, and the fixing and locking device is arranged at the lower part of the brush conveying casing and used for fixing the brush conveying casing on the edge of a brushing pond. The device can automatically brush a soft endoscope pipe through a brush and is high in automation degree, the brushing efficiency of the soft endoscope pipe is greatly improved, labor force is relieved, and the brushing cost is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a soft endoscope pipeline scrubbing device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of medical technology, flexible endoscopy, as an intuitive and minimally invasive means of diagnosis and treatment, is increasingly used in clinical practice and accepted by medical staff and patients. However, as an invasive medical device, flexible endoscopes are inevitably contaminated by patient body fluids during operation. Due to the complex structure of the endoscope, there are many irregular connections, cracks or wear in the lumen, and bacteria may accumulate in these places. Any negligence or irregularity in the cleaning and disinfection process of flexible endoscopes will lead to the formation of biofilm in the lumen, which is difficult to remove. Bacterial biofilm can firmly adhere to the surface of the lumen, hindering the penetration of the sterilization ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The cleaning and disinfection of flexible endoscopes includes six steps: leak detection, cleaning, rinsing, disinfection, final rinsing, and drying. Most of the steps have been automated or semi-automatically assisted, but the cleaning step still remains at the manual stage. , it is necessary to put the soft endoscope into the cleaning pool as a whole, and then manually insert the brush into all the channels of the endoscope for repeated scrubbing, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive

However, brushing is a key step to remove the biofilm in the flexible endoscope tube. If this step is not qualified, the subsequent steps will greatly affect the effect of cleaning and sterilization because the sterilant cannot penetrate the biofilm.
