Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus designed to clean the end of an imaging device, such as an endoscope, includes: a shaft having a distal end that is disposable within a subject's anatomy, the shaft including an ejection port disposed near the distal end of the shaft, the ejection port configured to eject a volume of liquid or gas into the channel to clean a distal end of the instrument; a hub coupled to a proximal end of the shaft, the hub and the shaft collectively defining a channel for receiving a trocar of a robotic system. Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent des systèmes, des dispositifs et des méthodes de nettoyage d'endoscopes ou d'autres instruments pendant des procédures chirurgicales, qui peuvent être utilisés avec un système robotique.
