Multi-Jet Distributor For An Endoscope

A method for distributing fluid from a source external to an endoscope into a plurality of fluid channels positioned within the endoscope, comprising:

• operating a pump coupled to a fluid input channel of a fluid distributor device;
• flowing fluid through an internal fluid pathway that is in fluid communication with the fluid input channel, wherein the fluid flows towards a plurality of output channels that are in fluid communication with the plurality of fluid channels positioned within the endoscope;
• activating a motor connected to a distributor rotating plug via a motor shaft, wherein the activating rotates the rotating plug connected to the fluid distributor device;
• and
• intermittently aligning the internal fluid pathway with each of the plurality of output channels, allowing fluid to move from the fluid input channel, through the internal fluid pathway, successively into each of the plurality of fluid output channels, and successively into each of the plurality of fluid channels.
