The present invention relates to an endoscope cleaning system, and more specifically, includes a sink cabinet, a washing faucet, a surface cleaning unit, and an internal cleaning unit, so that the outside and inside of the endoscope, including the tube, are step-by-step cleaned and rinsed. The cleaning and rinsing process of cleaning and rinsing the interior can be easily performed on a single sink cabinet, thereby significantly improving the work efficiency for endoscope cleaning, while connecting the cleaning liquid mixture discharger that makes up the surface cleaning unit. By further connecting the cleaning solution mixing control tip to the nipple and connecting the cleaning solution mixing guide tube, the amount of cleaning solution mixed with tap water can be easily reduced with respect to the cleaning solution of a certain concentration stored in the sink of the sink cabinet to clean the external surface of the endoscope. It relates to an endoscope cleaning system that can be adjusted to mix.

In general, an endoscope is one of the internal medical devices that can sequentially observe the organs of the human body or perform procedures on affected areas. The endoscope must be cleaned and disinfected after use.

To wash such an endoscope, a certain amount of water was stored in the sink of a sink cabinet commonly used in hospitals, then a certain amount of detergent was manually dissolved to create washing water, and the endoscope was washed with the resulting washing water.

In other words, in operating a conventional endoscope, it is essential to have a connecting tube with the bending and elasticity necessary for the endoscopic device to enter the affected area, that is, the presence of a tube.

Therefore, when an endoscopic device with an essential tube configuration is completed, it must be cleaned and disinfected to prevent infection and spread before use the next time. To this end, the outside and inside of the tube (internal tube) must be cleaned and disinfected. Washing must be carried out.

However, in order to clean the inside of the tube, a cleaning agent capable of performing a cleaning function must be diluted to a predetermined concentration and introduced into the inside of the tube to remove foreign substances present inside the tube. When this operation is completed, the inside of the tube must be removed. It is required to thoroughly rinse the inside of the tube to ensure that there is no remaining cleaning agent in it.

This work is performed in large hospitals, etc., and endoscopic procedures are performed frequently, so the amount of cleaning of tubes used in the endoscopic procedures is also significant.

The tube used in the endoscopic procedure may be multiple tubes instead of one, and several workers clean each tube individually by adding a diluted cleaning agent as described above, and clean the cleaned tube again. The rinsing operation with water, etc. was repeated.

Due to the nature of the work process for cleaning the endoscope including the above tubes, there was a problem that a lot of manpower and time were consumed to clean the inside of multiple endoscope tubes.

In addition, there was a problem of contamination due to recirculation as the cleaning solution or detergent used to clean the endoscopic tube was reused to clean other tubes.

Therefore, research and development is required for an endoscope cleaning system that can simplify the rinsing process after cleaning the outside and inside of the endoscope, including tubes, and thereby significantly improve the work efficiency of endoscope cleaning. It is happening.
