1. A cleaning device for cleaning a medical instrument, the medical instrument having a distal end portion defining an instrument lumen and proximal and distal openings in fluid communication with the instrument lumen, the cleaning device comprising:
a flushing chamber having opposite proximal and distal ends, a flushing lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends, and distal and proximal ports in fluid communication with the flushing lumen, wherein the flushing lumen is configured to accept the distal end portion of the medical instrument, through the proximal end of the flushing chamber, such that the proximal opening of the medical instrument is generally adjacent the proximal port and the distal opening of the medical instrument is generally adjacent the distal port; a proximal sealing member coupled to the flushing chamber at a location proximal of the proximal port, the first sealing member configured to fluidly seal about the medical instrument when the medical instrument is inserted into the flushing chamber for directing fluid flow between the proximal port and the proximal opening of the medical instrument and inhibiting fluid flow proximal of the proximal sealing member in the flushing lumen; and a distal sealing member coupled to the flushing chamber at a location distal of the proximal port and proximal of the distal port, the distal sealing member configured to fluidly seal about the medical instrument when the medical instrument is inserted into the flushing chamber for directing fluid flow between the distal port and said distal opening of the medical instrument, and inhibiting fluid flow distal of the distal sealing member in the flushing lumen. |
