Abstract
Sterilization machine for reprocessing an endoscope comprising a fixed part and a mobile part. The fixed part comprises a first frame and a first fluid-dynamic circuit for feeding and/or discharging fluids, and provided with a plurality of first connectors. The mobile part comprises a second frame on which a tank is mounted, a lid to hermetically close the tank and a second fluid-dynamic circuit connectable to the endoscope, able to be selectively coupled removably with the first connectors to achieve the fluidic communication with the first fluid-dynamic circuit. The second frame is provided with rolling means, and the first frame and the second frame comprise guide means and anchoring means to removably anchor the first frame to the second frame.

Sterilization machine for reprocessing an endoscope comprising a fixed part and a mobile part, able to be taken close to, distanced from and reciprocally coupled with said fixed part, said fixed part comprising a first frame and at least part of a first fluid-dynamic circuit for feeding and/or discharging fluids, mounted on said first frame and provided with a plurality of first connectors and said mobile part comprising a tank suitable to receive the endoscope to be reprocessed, a lid to hermetically close said tank and a second fluid-dynamic circuit connectable to said endoscope and provided with second connectors, able to be selectively coupled removably with said first connectors so as to achieve the fluidic communication with the first fluid-dynamic circuit, wherein said mobile part comprises a second frame configured to support at least said tank, said second fluid-dynamic circuit and said second connectors, in that said second frame is provided with rolling means to move it, and in that said first frame and said second frame comprise guide means to guide the movement of the second frame close to the first frame and to allow the connection of the first connectors with the second connectors, and anchoring means to removably anchor the first frame to the second frame.
Fixed part of a sterilization machine able to be reciprocally coupled with a mobile part of said sterilization machine in order to reprocess an endoscope, said fixed part comprising a first frame and at least part of a first fluid-dynamic circuit for feeding and/or discharging fluids, mounted on said first frame and provided with a plurality of first connectors, able to be selectively coupled removably with second connectors of a second fluid-dynamic circuit, said second fluid-dynamic circuit being mounted on said mobile part, and being connectable to the endoscope located in a tank of said mobile part, wherein it comprises guide means to guide the movement of a second frame of said mobile part close to said first frame and to allow the connection of said first connectors with said second connectors, and anchoring means to removably anchor the first frame to the second frame.
Mobile part of a sterilization machine, able to be taken close to, distanced from and reciprocally coupled with a fixed part of said sterilization machine in order to reprocess an endoscope, said mobile part comprising a tank suitable to receive the endoscope to be reprocessed, a lid to hermetically close said tank and a second fluid-dynamic circuit connectable to said endoscope and provided with second connectors able to be selectively coupled removably with first connectors of a first fluid-dynamic circuit for feeding and/or discharging fluids, mounted on a first frame of said fixed part, to achieve the fluidic communication with said first fluid-dynamic circuit, characterized in that it comprises a second frame configured to support at least said tank, said second fluid-dynamic circuit and said second connectors, and in that said second frame is provided with rolling means to move it, and comprises guide means to guide the movement of the second frame close to the first frame and to allow the connection of the first connectors with the second connectors, and anchoring means to removably anchor the first frame to the second frame.
