Abstract
An embalming machine for mixing of fluids and cleaning of a reservoir may include a reservoir. The embalming machine may include a tube extending from a lower portion to an upper portion of the reservoir, the tube providing a pathway for fluid to travel to the reservoir. The embalming machine may include a port connected to an end of the tube adjacent to the upper portion of the reservoir, the port being configured to dispense the fluid traveling through the tube and into an interior of the reservoir.

A method for mixing of fluids in an embalming machine operable to inject fluid into cadaver, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the embalming machine, a selection of a mix mode from a number of selectable settings of the embalming machine, the embalming machine comprising:
- a reservoir;
- a tube extending from a lower portion to an upper portion of the reservoir, wherein the tube provides a pathway for fluid to travel to the reservoir;
- and
- a port at an end of the tube adjacent to the upper portion of the reservoir;
- and
- dispensing the fluid from the port and into an interior of the reservoir, wherein the port is positioned to dispense the fluid into the interior of the reservoir substantially tangentially to an interior surface of the reservoir to cause the fluid to flow about a central portion of the reservoir to mix the fluid.
A method for cleaning of fluids from an embalming machine operable to inject fluid into cadaver, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the embalming machine, a selection of a clean mode from a number of selectable settings of the embalming machine, the embalming machine comprising:
- a reservoir;
- a tube extending from a lower portion to an upper portion of the reservoir, wherein the tube provides a pathway for fluid to travel to the reservoir;
- and
- a port at an end of the tube adjacent to the upper portion of the reservoir;
- and
- dispensing the fluid from the port and into an interior of the reservoir, wherein the port is positioned to dispense the fluid into the interior of the reservoir substantially tangentially to an interior surface of the reservoir to cause the fluid to flow about a central portion of the reservoir to clean the reservoir.
