To provide an information processing device or the like capable of finding channel abnormality early. An information processing device includes: an inspection image acquisition unit configured to acquire an inspection image captured by an inspection endoscope inserted into a channel of an inspection target endoscope; a determination acquisition unit configured to input the inspection image acquired by the inspection image acquisition unit to a model that outputs a determination prediction regarding a state of the channel when the inspection image is input, and to acquire the determination prediction to be output; and an output unit configured to output the inspection image and the determination prediction in association.

An endoscope system includes a valve configured to keep an internal space of an endoscope airtight, an air pump configured to open and close the valve by applying a negative pressure and a positive pressure, a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure at a time of the negative pressure and the positive pressure being applied, and a control section configured to receive a detection signal from the pressure sensor, and perform drive control of the air pump.

Described are a system, method, and computer program product for tracking endoscopes in a forced-air drying cabinet including a compressor, a support arrangement, and an inner area accessible by a door. The method includes receiving a signal from a signal emitting member attached to or associated with an endoscope and determining an identifier of the endoscope. The method includes determining a drying protocol for the endoscope based on the identifier and identifying the support arrangement, associated with an airflow output, to support the endoscope. The method includes determining a connection status indicative of whether the endoscope has been connected to the airflow output. The method includes, in response to the connection status indicating the endoscope has been connected to the airflow output, initiating a drying process according to the drying protocol for the endoscope by causing the compressor to create an airflow from the airflow output through the endoscope.

An endoscope system includes an endoscope and a cleaning adapter or connector. The endoscope has a port device or end sleeve, to which the cleaning adapter is coupled. The cleaning adapter includes a connector housing and a coupling sleeve, which has a male tapered portion. The connector housing includes a female thread (fastening device) and a guide surface. The port device includes a flange and a male thread. The guide surface guides the port device by contacting the flange. Thus, a male tapered surface or tapered sealing surface is axially aligned with a female tapered surface or tapered bore surface. The male tapered surface tightly contacts the female tapered surface by threaded engagement between the male and female threads. Accordingly, air-tightness or liquid-tightness can be ensured even in use of a plurality of connectors couplable selectively for connecting a related apparatus.

An endoscope accessory case includes: a case body made up of a bottom portion and an impermeable trunk portion, the case body including an opening portion provided in a top face, and a fluid introduction port configured to introduce a fluid; and an impermeable lid, the lid including a contact portion configured to come into contact with the case body, and a bubble lead-out edge located at a position apart from an inner circumference of the case body and configured to lead out bubbles separated from endoscope accessories when the endoscope accessories held in the case body are agitated by being pushed by the fluid, the lid being configured to detachably cover the opening portion.

An endoscope reprocessor includes: a housing unit that houses a medicinal solution bottle such that a sealing portion is located on a top surface; a first guide that guides the housing unit such that the housing unit is capable of advancing and retreating between a first point and a second point; a movable unit that moves in cooperation with advancing of the housing unit; an unsealing member provided in the movable unit and arranged at a position higher than the sealing portion of the medicinal solution bottle housed in the housing unit at the first point, the unsealing member having a shape protruding toward the top surface at a predetermined length to pierce the sealing portion when the medicinal solution bottle reaches the second point by descending as the movable unit advances; and a second guide that guides an advancing direction of the movable unit.

An endoscope includes: a connector portion for electrically coupling to an external connector. The connector portion includes: a base portion having a tubular shape; and a tubular sleeve portion extending from the base portion, at least a part of an end portion of the sleeve portion being provided with a cutout portion. When a water-resistant cap is installed at the connector portion, the endoscope takes any state of a first state where an abutting portion of the water-resistant cap configured to abut on the sleeve portion abuts on the sleeve portion on a side of the base portion with respect to the cutout portion to hold an airtightness between the water-resistant cap and the connector portion, and a second state where the abutting portion abuts on or faces the sleeve portion including the cutout portion to make non-airtight between the water-resistant cap and the connector portion.

The present description relates to a disinfection system (300) configured to implement a disinfection cycle of a medical instrument (200) by UV radiation. The disinfection system (300) includes a disinfection chamber (310) configured to receive at least one portion of the medical instrument (200), a suspension means (320) for suspending said at least one portion of the medical instrument (200) in said disinfection chamber (310), a detection device (330) configured to detect, in a predetermined detection area of the disinfection system (300), a marker (210) integral with said medical instrument (200), and a controller (370) configured to generate a non-detection signal in case of non-detection of said marker (210) in said predetermined detection area.

The present invention relates to a method for drying endoscope channels, including the following steps: a) connecting the endoscope, particularly via a specific connection, to a plasma drying unit; b) injecting a neutral gas into the endoscope channels for a duration of 10 to 60 seconds, the flow rate of the gas being low, the gas being injected at a temperature of 10° C. to 30° C. such as to eliminate residual water; then c) drying the endoscope channels, for a duration of 30 to 150 seconds, by injecting a gas at a high flow rate, the gas being injected at a temperature of 30° C. to 60° C.

An endoscope reprocessor includes: a connector to which an endoscope is connected; a fluid supplying section that supplies fluid to the connector; an electromagnet arranged at the connector and including a magnetic material and a coil wound around the magnetic material; a current supplying section; a magnetic force switching portion configured to switch a strength of a magnetic force to at least one of a first strength and a second strength weaker than the first strength; and a control section configured to switch the strength of the magnetic force by controlling the magnetic force switching portion while driving the fluid supplying section.
