VALVE HOLDING FIXTURE FOR AUTOMATED REPROCESSOR

摘要

A fixture (10) for holding a valve (20) assembly in an automated washing system, wherein the valve assembly (20) is movable between an opened position and a normally closed position. The fixture (10) is comprised of first (60) and second housing (100) sections that are releaseably attachable to each other. The housing sections (60, 100) define an internal cavity (82) that is dimensioned to hold the valve assembly (20) in an opened position. A fluid inlet (84) is in communication with the chamber/cavity (82), and is attachable to a source of an anti-microbial fluid in the washing system. A fluid outlet (138) communicates with the chamber/cavity to allow the anti-microbial fluid to exit the fixture (10).
