Publication number: 20210298871Abstract: Based on image data obtained by imaging a state in which preliminary cleaning of an endoscope by a manual work, a cleaning status determination unit determines whether or not the preliminary cleaning has been performed on the endoscope. A notification control unit generates notification data regarding the determination result in the cleaning status determination unit and outputs the notification data from the output apparatus. When the cleaning status determination unit identifies a step that has not been properly performed, the notification control unit generates notification data including information regarding the step that has not been properly performed. The notification control unit may generate notification data including image data obtained by imaging the state of the step.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi NISHIYAMA, Akira SUZUKI, Hideyuki KUGIMIYA, Yumiko AWAU
