MEDICAL EXAMINATION APPARATUS, AND ITS RESIDUAL WATER DISCHARGE METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical examination apparatus, where instruments for an operator are separated from instruments for an assistant, capable of systematically discharging the residual water of each instrument. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes: insertion holes to which the instruments 7-11 for the operator are inserted; a water discharge tray 19 to be arranged in a cuspidor 4 in order to discharge the residual water in the water supply ducts of the instruments for the operator to the cuspidor 4, which are inserted to the insertion holes; insertion holes arranged in a cabinet 3 for the assistant, to which the instruments 13-15 for the assistant are inserted; and a cleaning tank 16 for discharging the residual water in the water supply ducts of the instruments for the assistant, which are inserted to the insertion holes. When water is newly supplied from a common water source and a main water supply duct, the residual water in the water supply ducts of the instruments for the operator and in the water supply ducts of the instruments for the assistant are simultaneously or successively discharged.
