CLEANING AND STERILIZING TUBE AND ENDOSCOPE CLEANING AND STERILIZING APPARATUS

摘要

A cleaning and sterilizing tube connected to the opening of an object to be cleaned for supplying a fluid into the opening in an endoscope cleaning and sterilizing apparatus. The tube is connected in such a manner that it does not come out of the opening, and the entire part of the opening is surely immersed in the fluid. The cleaning and sterilizing tube allows the opening formed in the object to be cleaned which is contained in the cleaning tank of the endoscope cleaning and sterilizing apparatus to communicate with a feed connector installed in the endoscope washing/sterilizing apparatus for feeding the fluid. The cleaning and sterilizing tube comprises a tube connector part connected to the opening and a holding part which is engaged with the object to be cleaned at a gap while the tube connector part is connected to the opening and which restricts the movement of the tube connector part in the direction away from the opening.
