ABSTRACT:
A method for autoclave sterilization of an endoscope2of the present invention includes the step of making a space, which is defined by the outer side of a channel and an outer covering member of the endoscope2, communicate with the outside of the endoscope, while at least one end of the channel communicates with the outside of the endoscope2and the channel is inserted through the inside47of the endoscope. The space47and the outside of the endoscope are once brought into the negative pressure. Thereafter, steam is introduced in the space47and the outside of the endoscope, and the endoscope2is sterilized.
