A tubing assembly for connecting a fluid line to an endoscope and a fluid source may include an elongate tube having a lumen, a connector coupled to an end of the elongate tube and having a port in fluid communication with the lumen, and a fluid control component configured to selective adjust fluid flow through the lumen and the port. The fluid control component may be located in one or more of a cover for the fluid source, the tubing, the connector, and/or other components in fluid communication with the lumen. The fluid control component may be a valve. The valve may be manually actuated from a closed position to an opened position.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for connecting tubes to an endoscope. A connector for connecting tubing, such as gas/lens wash tubing, to fluid ports of an endoscope may include a first end that couples with the tubing and a second end for engaging fluid ports of an endoscope. The connector may have a stabilizing component configured to facilitate securing the second end to the endoscope. In some cases, the connector may include a device coupling member configured to couple to the endoscope and a core structure adding stability to the device coupling member and configured to couple to the tubing. In some cases, the stabilizing component may include an actuator and a retention component that adjusts in response to actuation of the actuator.

An illustrative container may comprise a container configured to contain a fluid within a first receptacle thereof, the container movable between a collapsed storage configuration and an expanded use configuration, a lens water supply tube including a first lumen extending therethrough, the first lumen is in fluid communication with the first receptacle of the container, a gas supply tube including a second lumen extending therethrough, the second lumen is in operative fluid communication with the first receptacle, and a port positioned adjacent to the top portion of the container. The port may be configured to be in selective fluid communication with the first receptacle of the container.

Abstract: Methods and systems for refilling a container during an endoscopic procedure. An illustrative container may comprise a container configured to contain a fluid, a water supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a first lumen extending therethrough and in fluid communication with the bottom portion of the container, a gas supply tube including a first end, a second end, and a second lumen extending therethrough and in operative fluid communication with container, a manifold configured to couple the water supply tube and the gas supply tube to the container and including a first end positioned interior to the container and a second end positioned exterior to the container, and a port positioned adjacent to the top portion of the container. The port may be configured to be in selective fluid communication with an interior of the container.

Abstract: Medical devices and methods for using medical devices are disclosed. Example fluid reservoirs and tube sets arranged and configured to couple to an endoscope for use in an endoscopic procedure are disclosed. An example fluid reservoir and tube set includes a fluid reservoir configured to contain a fluid, a fluid supply tube configured to be coupled to the endoscope and having a lumen extending therethrough, wherein the lumen is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and a first backflow prevention mechanism coupled to the fluid supply tube, the first backflow prevention mechanism configured to permit fluid to flow through the fluid supply line from the fluid reservoir to the endoscope and to prevent fluid from flowing back through the fluid supply tube from the endoscope to the fluid reservoir.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a unit dose pack for forming a bath for cleaning medical instruments. The unit dose pack may comprise at least a first chamber that contains an enzymatic detergent composition comprising one or more enzymes, the first chamber being formed from at least one first sheet of material that comprises a water-soluble film, and the at least one first sheet of material encapsulating the enzymatic detergent composition, wherein upon immersion in water, the enzymatic detergent composition is released from the first chamber into the water. In other embodiments, the present disclosure pertains to a method of cleaning a medical instrument using at least one such unit dose pack. In some embodiments, the medical instrument is an endoscope.

Abstract: A medical device including a handle and a flexible member controlled by the handle, the handle including one or more knobs, each of the one or more knobs having a plurality of protrusions spaced circumferentially from one another, wherein the medical device comprises one or more grip-enhancing features configured to be removably coupled to the one or more knobs.

Abstract: The cleaning valves (or valves) of the current disclosure are generally single-use devices (SUDs) and therefore disposable. Reusing SUDs can be disadvantageous, as single-use devices are not designed to be reusable. Accordingly, valves for medical devices, such as endoscopes, disclosed may be configured to transition from a first state to a second state for indication of utilization of the valve, e.g., via exposure to a valve well. The transition from the first state to the second state may prevent reuse valves of the present disclosure. In embodiments, the valve may be made from a limited number of components and materials.

Reusing SUDs can be disadvantageous, as single-use devices are not designed to be reusable. Accordingly, valves (or valve assemblies) for medical devices, such as endoscopes, disclosed may be configured to transition from a first state to a second state in response to utilization of the valve, e.g., to control fluid flow through a valve well. The transition from the first state to the second state may prevent reuse of valves of the present disclosure. For instance, a lumen between first and second orifices in a valve stem may be blocked or disconnected.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to fluid container adapters that couple with a fluid container, so to enable access to the contents of the fluid container, such as from an endoscopic system via a tubing set. Several embodiments are particularly directed to a fluid container adapter that can couple with an opening in a variety of fluid containers to place one or more tubes in fluid communication with an interior of any particular one of the variety of fluid containers.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to fluid container enclosure systems that couple with a fluid container and enable different systems, such as endoscopic systems, to access the contents of the fluid container, such as via a tubing set. The enclosure systems are configured to fit a wide range of fluid container necks, ports, or other openings, including various opening dimensions, thread finishes, and/or thread dimensions. In one embodiments, an enclosure system may include a cap having multiple carriages arranged therein. For example, a primary carriage may be arranged within the cap to engage with larger-dimensioned bottles. A secondary carriage may be arranged to float within the primary carriage to engage smaller-dimensioned bottles that bypass the primary carriage. Other embodiments are described.
