<p>A liquid waste disposal and canister flushing system and method for a medical canister including a lid with at least first and second ports features a cabinet with an opening and a sink with a drain positioned therein. A removable lid covers the cabinet opening. A canister holder in the form of a ring or bucket is positioned within the chamber defined between the sink and cabinet opening. The canister holder is supported by a rod that is rotatably positioned in the cabinet. The rod is also connected to an electric motor or lever so that the canister holder, and therefore the canister positioned therein, may be rotated between an initial position and a drainage position. The canister is secured within the canister holder and tubing, which is in communication with a source of pressurized and diluted cleaning solution, is connected to the first canister port. The canister is rotated into the drainage position and the pressurized and diluted cleaning solution source is activated to flush the canister contents out of the second lid port and into the sink and drain. The first canister port may optionally feature a nozzle oriented at an angle so that a swirling action is induced upon the pressurized liquid entering the canister to assist in the flushing of residue from the canister.</p> |
