<p>A system (A) for cleaning soil from a medical device, such as an endoscope includes a disposable container (10, 10', 10'') which contains a dose of a concentrated cleanser (192) to provide a cleaning fluid (14) on mixing with water. In one embodiment, a suction pump (22) is connected with outlet ports of internal channels to draw cleaning fluid from the container via a connection device (20), which is connected with inlet ports of the channels. In another embodiment, the connection device (20) is connected between the source of suction and the device, and endoscope distal tip (34) is dipped in the fluid. A closure member (200, 260, 292) selectively seals an opening (212, 212', 212'') in the container against leakage of the cleaning fluid prior to use. The closure member (200) preferably includes an openable and reclosable channel seal. A moist wipe (218, 218', 218'') in a foil package (216, 216', 216'') is affixed to the container. The system provides both a cleaning fluid and a wipe in a readily accessible form which are transportable in a surgical suite without risk of spillage.</p> |
