• and
• a collar fixed to an upper rim of the main body;
• a seal assembly supported in the canister;
• a cover secured to the collar to compress the seal assembly in the canister, the cover defining a central opening configured for passage of the distal portion of the endoscope;
• a battery pack having a battery;
• a heating mechanism thermally coupled to the canister;
• and

• and
• a collar fixed to an upper rim of the main body;
• a seal assembly supported within the canister, the seal assembly comprising:
• a cover secured to the collar and defining a central opening configured for passage of the endoscope;
• a one-way valve supported by the collar within the canister;
• and
• an open seal interposed between the one-way valve and the cover, wherein the cover when secured to the collar compresses the one-way valve against the open seal;
• a battery pack having a battery;
• a heating mechanism thermally coupled to the canister;
