摘要：
An endoscope processor, according to the present invention, provides for cleaning and sterilizing an endoscope having a body, and a first flexible tube attached to the body. It includes an operational housing and an enclosure which is attachable to and detachable from the operational housing, the enclosure being sealed from ingress of potentially contaminating microorganisms when detached from the operational housing. The enclosure is shaped, sized and oriented to receive the endoscope in an orientation with the first flexible tube depending vertically downwardly from the endoscope body. The enclosure includes a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet. The operational housing includes a circulating system comprising at least one liquid pump having a pump outlet connected to the liquid inlet of the enclosure when the enclosure is attached to the operational housing, and a pump inlet connected to the liquid outlet of the enclosure when the enclosure is attached to the operational housing, whereby to circulate liquid through the enclosure. A source of sterilizing fluid is associated with the pump and a control system is programmed to control a sterilization procedure whereby the pump circulates a liquid comprising the sterilizing fluid through the enclosure.一種依據本發明之內視鏡處理機用於清潔和滅菌一具有一主體及一附接於該主體之第一可撓管的內視鏡。其包含一操作機殼及一可附接且可拆離該操作機殼的封套，該封套在拆離該操作機殼時經密封阻隔潛在污染性微生物侵入。該封套經訂定形狀、大小及取向以接收採取該第一可撓管從該內視鏡主體鉛直地向下地懸垂之一取向的內視鏡。該封套包含一液體入口和一液體出口。該操作機殼包括一含有至少一液體泵之循環系統，該泵具有一在該封套附接於該操作機殼時連接到該封套之液體入口的泵出口及一在該封套附接於該操作機殼時連接到該封套之液體出口的泵入口，藉此使液體循環流過該封套。一滅菌流體源與該泵相關聯，且一控制系統經程式化以控制一滅菌程序，藉由該程序該泵使一含有該滅菌流體之液體循環流過該封套。
