Abstract: Apparatus and method for portable and quick cleaning of an instrument are disclosed. The portable instrument cleaning apparatus may include an instrument inlet to receive a contaminated instrument and a water delivery activation device. The water delivery activation device may comprise a sensor to sense receipt of the contaminated instrument. The water delivery activation device may activate a water delivery system. The water delivery system may convey water from an external water source to the wash tube. The portable instrument cleaning apparatus may pressurize the conveyed water and spray pressurized water on the contaminated instrument in the wash tube. The water delivery activating and instrument cleaning may occur without delay. The sensor may sense removal of the instrument and deactivate the water delivery system. The portable instrument cleaning apparatus may minimize contamination between instrument cleanings using a flushing system and a contaminated water drainage system.
