An apparatus for cleaning an endoscope includes a return system for returning used sterilizer a from a drain port of a rinse basin to the reservoir vessel containing the liquid sterilizer medium, via a return tube, which may contain an electromagnetic valve. The apparatus also includes a drain tube for discharging waste liquid through the drain port; the drain tube may include an electromagnetic valve. In this manner, a liquid sterilizer which is discharged from the drain port of the rinse basin may be returned to the reservoir vessel through the return tube, permitting its repeated use as long as the liquid sterilizer remains effective. |
