ABSTRACT:
The cleaning and disinfection machine for medical devices with narrow channels particularly endoscopes, has a pressure chamber (1) in which the objects to be cleaned are inserted. A circulating pump of the machine supplies the pressure chamber with pressurized cleaning fluid. Arranged inside the pressure chamber (1) is a pressure-increase unit (2) that consists of a two-stage piston-cylinder arrangement (3, 5, 8; 4, 6, 9). The two pistons (5, 6) have different diameters and thus different effective cross-sections. The inlet side of the larger piston is fed with pressurized cleaning fluid. The outlet side (9) contains cleaning fluid that is supplied to the channel to be cleaned. The second piston has a smaller diameter so that the pressure is greater on the outlet side (chamber 9). When the circulating pump is switched off, the pistons (5, 6) are forced back into a starting position by a spring (13).
