A CHANNEL IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR FLUSHING PROCESS MEDIUM THROUGH INTERNAL CHANNELS OF A MEDICAL ARTICLE
A channel irrigation system (10) for flushing process medium through internal channels of a medical article, in particular of an endoscope. A flow producing device (12) produces and supplies a flow of a process medium to a manifold (14). A plurality of fluid passages (24, 26) extend from respective outlets (18) of the manifold. Each fluid passage has another end connectable to a respective internal channel of a medical article to be flushed with the process medium. A pressure sensor (28) measures the current pressure of the process medium inside the manifold. A control unit (100) receives from the pressure sensor information about the value of the current pressure and, based on the received information, controls the operation of the flow producing device so that the process medium inside the manifold reaches a target pressure or target pressure range.

The invention relates to method of filling a medical washer/disinfector. A desired pump speed of a circulation pump is determined. A predefined filling level associated with the desired pump speed is identified. Liquid is fed into a washing chamber while the circulation pump is running at less than said desired pump speed. While the liquid is continued to be fed so that the liquid level rises, the pump speed is increased based on the rising liquid level until said desired pump speed is reached. When the pump is running at said desired pump speed, it is detected when the liquid has been filled to the predefined filling level, and upon such detection the feeding of the liquid into the washing chamber is interrupted. Then invention also relates to a method of operating a medical washer/disinfector, a control unit and a medical washer/disinfector.
