PURPOSE:To effectively clean and disinfect an endoscope without extending the time from the cleaning to disinfection of the endoscope while no disinfection gas is decomposed and absorbed into waterdrops in a pipe. CONSTITUTION:One end of a circulation pipe 3 is connected to the bottom section of a cleaning/disinfecting tank 1 via a circulation pump 2. The circulation pipe 3 circulates the cleaning water fed into the cleaning/disinfecting tank 1, and a cleaning tube 5 is connected to the other end of the circulation pipe 3 via a connector 4. The cleaning tube 5 guides the cleaning water into the channel of an endoscope A to be cleaned and disinfected. A waterdrop collecting means 19 is provided on a pipe between a selector valve 15 and the connector 4, i.e., the pipe 3a feeding the cleaning water during cleaning and feeding the disinfection gas during disinfection. |
