REVERSE FLOW CLEANING AND STERILIZING DEVICE AND METHOD

A device (10) and method for cleaning and sterilizing tubular structures (94, 96) particularly narrow tubular structures (94, 96) such as lumens (14) of a medical device such as an endoscope (12) by reversing the flow of fluid in interconnected tubular structures (94, 96). The device comprises a fir...

Zusammenfassung:	A device (10) and method for cleaning and sterilizing tubular structures (94, 96) particularly narrow tubular structures (94, 96) such as lumens (14) of a medical device such as an endoscope (12) by reversing the flow of fluid in interconnected tubular structures (94, 96). The device comprises a first (80) and second (82) valve in fluid communication with a first (94) and second (96) tubular structure. The valves (80, 82) selectively switch between a first and second flow path within the tubular structures (94, 96), at least a part of the second flow path opposite the first flow path. L'invention concerne un dispositif (10) et un procédé de nettoyage et de stérilisation de structures tubulaires (94, 96), notamment des structures tubulaires étroites (94, 96) telles que des lumières (14) d'un dispositif médical, par exemple un endoscope. Ce procédé consiste à inverser le flux du fluide dans des structures tubulaires interconnectées (94, 96). Ce dispositif comprend une première (80) et une seconde (82) valve en communication fluidique avec une première (94) et une seconde (96) structures tubulaires. Les valves (80, 82) commutent de façon sélective entre un premier et un second trajets de flux dans lesdites structures tubulaires, au moins une partie du second trajet de flux étant opposée au premier trajet de flux.
