CLEANING DEVICES FOR IMAGING INSTRUMENTS, DEVICES, AND METHODS

A device for cleaning an instrument includes a manifold comprising one or more fluid inlets, and a tubular member rotatable relative to and extending distally from the manifold. The tubular member includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a fluid outlet at the distal end. The fluid outlet is configured to direct a flow of fluid generally across the distal end of the tubular member. The tubular member also includes one or more fluid passages fluidically coupled to the fluid outlet, and the one or more fluid passages extend from the fluid outlet to the manifold. The manifold and tubular member are configured to receive a shaft of an imaging instrument in a position such that the shaft of the imaging instrument extends through the manifold to the distal end of the tubular member. Systems and methods relate to instruments and cleaning devices. 一种用于清洁器械的装置包括歧管和管状构件，所述歧管包含一个或更多个流体进口，所述管状构件可相对于所述歧管旋转，并且从所述歧管远侧地延伸。所述管状构件包括近端、远端和在所述远端处的流体出口。所述流体出口被配置为大体上跨所述管状构件的所述远端引导流体流。所述管状构件还包括一个或更多个流体通道，所述一个或更多个流体通道被流体地耦接到所述流体出口，
