摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscope cleaning/disinfecting device which is furnished with a construction for allowing even use of a gas/liquid two-phase flow to remove surely dirts inside a duct.;SOLUTION: The endoscope cleaning/disinfecting device comprises an air pump 45, a water faucet 5, a channel duct 21, and an injector 110, wherein the air pump 45 feeds gas into an endoscope duct furnished to an endoscope; the water faucet 5 feeds a liquid into the endoscope duct; the channel duct 21 can be connected with the mouthpiece of the endoscope duct to supply the endoscope duct with at least one of a gas and liquid; and the injector 110 admixes the liquid with the gas flowing through the channel duct 21 in such a way that the liquid may be admixed in the form of variably sized droplets at a predetermined ratio to the gas, resulting in a gas/liquid two-phase flow supplied to the endoscope duct via the channel duct 21.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
