A cleaning fixture for cleaning a medical device includes a shaft receiving portion configured to receive a shaft and an end effector assembly of the medical device. The shaft receiving portion includes a nozzle disposed towards a distal end of the shaft receiving portion such that the nozzle is positioned adjacent the end effector assembly of the medical device upon receipt of the shaft and end effector assembly of the medical device within the shaft receiving portion. A handle receiving portion is configured to receive the housing and handle of the medical device. The handle receiving portion is releasably securable with the shaft receiving portion to enclose the medical device therein. The handle receiving portion includes a lever activation assembly positioned adjacent the handle and operable to selectively actuate the handle to manipulate the end effector assembly.
