Abstract: An endoscope cleaning/disinfecting apparatus for processing an endoscope in a cleaning tank using a diluted chemical obtained by diluting a chemical with hot water in a dilution tank of the present invention introduces the hot water into the cleaning tank immediately before processing, introduces the hot water into the dilution tank after the temperature of the hot water introduced into the cleaning tank falls within a specified temperature range, generates the diluted chemical, introduces the diluted chemical into the cleaning tank and processes the endoscope.

Abstract: A washing tube of the present invention is a washing tube for supplying a washing and disinfecting fluid to an endoscope conduit of an endoscope placed in an endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus, includes: a tube body, one end of which is connected to fluid supply sections of the endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus for sending a fluid, a connector section disposed at the other end of the tube body and loosely and detachably fitted to a base of the endoscope conduit, a sealing member that is provided inside the connector section and comes into close contact with the base to keep the base and the connector section connected in a watertight manner, a valve body that moves forward by a liquid sending pressure of the supplied fluid and a biasing member provided inside the connector section for biasing the valve body backward.

Abstract: A control section reads data such as a conduit diameter and a conduit length of an endoscope and a cleaning profile which are separately recorded in a storage section based on type information of the endoscope registered in the storage section. A cleaning degree suited to the endoscope is estimated by calculation based on a pressure value and a flow rate value which are measured, the diameter and the length of the conduit to be cleaned, and the cleaning profile.

Abstract: An endoscope washing and disinfecting apparatus of the present invention includes an air pump supplying a gas to an endoscope channel included by an endoscope, a faucet supplying a liquid into the endoscope channel, a channel connectable to a mouthpiece of the endoscope channel included by the endoscope and supplying at least one of a gas or a liquid to the endoscope channel, and an injector converting the liquid into a liquid droplet, mixing the liquid droplet into the gas flowing in the channel with the size of the liquid droplet changeable, and thereby supplying gas-liquid two-phase flow in which the liquid droplet is mixed at a set ratio into the gas into the endoscope channel through the channel.
