Endoscope reprocesssor

A control method for an endoscope reprocessor including a medicinal solution tank, a concentration measurement chamber, and a concentration meter disposed in the concentration measurement chamber and which comprises a container, an electrode housed inside the container, a permeable membrane sealing the container, and a content fluid sealed inside the container, the control method, includes: a step I of introducing a medicinal solution into the medicinal solution tank; a step II of introducing the medicinal solution into the concentration measurement chamber and measuring a concentration of the medicinal solution; a step III of draining the medicinal solution inside the medicinal solution tank from the endoscope reprocessor, and maintaining a state where inside of the medicinal solution tank is empty for a predetermined time period; and a step IV of maintaining a moisture content inside the concentration measurement chamber at a predetermined value or more during the step III.

Control method for endoscope reprocessor

A linear member transfer apparatus includes: a linear member housing portion having a bottomed cylindrical shape and including: a bottom portion; an opening; a side wall; a restriction portion that is a diaphragm disposed on a position at a predetermined distance from the bottom portion and that has an inner diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the bottom portion; a first chamber configured to house a linear member in a wound state; and a second chamber configured to house the linear member in an extended state; a transfer portion configured to transfer the linear member; and a guide.

Linear member transfer apparatus

An endoscope reprocessor includes: an endoscope housing portion; a medicinal solution tank in which a medicinal solution is stored; a medicinal solution transfer portion that transfers the medicinal solution from the medicinal solution tank to the endoscope housing portion; a comparison portion that compares the concentration of the medicinal solution and a first reference concentration; a first adjustment portion that increases a reaction rate of the medicinal solution in a state in which the concentration of the medicinal solution is lower than the first reference concentration; and a control portion to which the comparison portion and the first adjustment portion are connected, and which drives the first adjustment portion in a case where the comparison portion determines that the concentration of the medicinal solution is lower than the first reference concentration.

Endoscope reprocessor

A cleaning/disinfecting apparatus includes: a plurality of attachment portions for attaching an endoscope; a cleaning/disinfecting portion that communicates with the plurality of attachment portions and can execute different types of cleaning/disinfection menus for the respective attachment portions; and an endoscope information reading portion that reads endoscope information from the endoscope. Also, the cleaning/disinfecting apparatus includes: a control portion that determines a cleaning/disinfection menu based on the read endoscope information and outputs attachment portion identifying information for identifying an attachment portion for executing the determined cleaning/disinfection menu; and a notifying portion that notifies the attachment portion identifying information outputted from the control portion.

Cleaning/disinfecting apparatus

A water leakage checking apparatus includes: a plurality of attachment portions for attaching an endoscope; a water leakage sensing portion that communicates with the plurality of attachment portions and simultaneously carries out a plurality of items of a water leakage check menu; and an endoscope information reading portion that reads endoscope information from the endoscope. Also, the water leakage checking apparatus includes: a control portion that determines an item of the water leakage check menu based on the read endoscope information, assigns the determined item of the water leakage check menu to one of the plurality of attachment portions, and outputs attachment portion identifying information for identifying the assigned one of the attachment portions; and a notifying portion that notifies the attachment portion identifying information outputted from the control portion.

Water leakage checking apparatus

An endoscope sterilizing test pack includes an inner case having an open/close mechanism which can insert thereinto and remove therefrom an indicator for checking a sterilization effect of sterilization treatment; at least one tube connected to the inner case so that one end is opened and another end is communicated with an inside of the inner case; and a sheath member housing the tube and the inner case.

In a treating apparatus, a forceps body as a treating device is connected to a generator as a control device. The forceps body mainly includes a pair of handle portions, which are used for manipulation by being held by an operator, a pair of jaws provided between the handle portion and the pair of jaws, which are used to coagulate/resect by grasping living-body tissue to be treated and a pair of scissors component members. A heating member, which is a heat generating source as a heat generating portion for applying heat energy to living-body tissue, is embedded at least one of the jaws. A pair of electrode portions, which is a treating energy generator, is provided to the pair of jaws. By supplying bipolar electric surgical knife current between the pair of electrode portions, high frequency current as treating energy is applied to the grasped living-body tissue.

In an electrosurgery apparatus for treating a living tissue, while the living tissue is being treated, a variation in state of energy supplied from a cautery power supply to a monopolar treatment device is detected on the basis of detection data obtained from a current sensor and a voltage sensor. Based on the detected variation, living body information on the living tissue to be treated is obtained.
