Abstract: A medical device inspection system may include a base, a medical device holder on the base, a fiber scope holder on the base, a moveable roller moveably attached to the base such that it is free to rotate around an axis and move from a first position to a second position along the base, and a feeder coupled with the base for feeding a flexible portion of the fiber scope into a lumen of the medical device. During use, the flexible portion of the fiber scope may extend from the handle, around the moveable roller, and through the feeder to enter an opening in the lumen of the medical device.

Abstract: A method for inspecting and cleaning an inner surface of a medical device may involve advancing a distal end of a flexible, elongate inspection device into the medical device, visualizing the inner surface of the medical device with a visualization member at or near the distal end of the inspection device, and emitting an ultraviolet light from an ultraviolet light emitter at or near the distal end of the inspection device, to clean the inner surface. The ultraviolet light emitter is configured to emit a uniform beam of ultraviolet light onto the inner surface.

Abstract: A medical device inspection scope may include a cylindrical outer layer having a diameter of less than 2 millimeters or even less than 1 millimeter, a cylindrical inner layer disposed concentrically within the outer layer, a circumferential space between the outer layer and the inner layer, and an inner lumen formed by the inner layer. The scope also includes multiple light transmitting fibers disposed in the circumferential space and a camera module disposed in the inner lumen. The light fibers may be designed to transmit illumination light and ultraviolet light. The scope may also optionally include a stiffening member.
