The system here has a processing device 10 for endoscopes that have an impure filling side 11 for receiving endoscopes to be cleaned or disinfected 20 has and a pure withdrawal side 12 for removal of in the treatment device 10 cleaned endoscopes 20 ,

For the preparation of surgical instruments in this case, the treatment device 10 a schematically drawn recording room 13 on, in which the surgical instruments or endoscopes to be cleaned 20 be introduced. An endoscope reprocessing device is known, for example, under the name ETD of Olympus Winter & Ibe GmbH, Hamburg.

For example, after using an endoscope for a medical examination, the endoscopes used 20 be cleaned and disinfected. Here, as in 1 schematically indicated in the left area, a reprocessed endoscope 20 in a wire basket 22 arranged, with the wire basket 22 corresponding connections or an adapter for the channels to be cleaned of the endoscope 20 having. This is the wire basket 22 on a table 24 arranged, so that by hand the channels of the endoscope 20 to a so-called (not shown here) adapter or flow adapter for cleaning the channels of the endoscope 20 be connected. Subsequently, the with an endoscope 20 stocked wire basket 22 from the table 24 to a dolly 30 to hand over. Here, the movable transport carriage 30 a recording device 32 on, the several receiving compartments 34.1 . 34.2 . 34.3 has, which are arranged one above the other. The recording device 32 of the trolley 30 is vertically movable, with the dolly 30 for vertical movement a pneumatic cylinder 36 as a lifting device for the receiving device 32 having.

For filling the pneumatic cylinder 36 this is connected to a compressed air source and after filling the pneumatic cylinder 36 disconnected from the compressed air source, so that the trolley 30 independent of the compressed air source is freely movable in space movable. To hand over one in a wire basket 22 inserted endoscope 20 to the trolley 30 To facilitate, the receiving device 32 , if necessary, lowered until a receiving compartment 34.1 to 34.3 the receiving device 32 the same height as the table 24 from which the wire basket 22 with the endoscope 20 is arranged in the corresponding at the same (working) height receiving compartment.

By using a pneumatic cylinder 36 is the vertically lowerable recording device 32 with their storage compartments 34.1 to 34.3 so adapted in height, that a simple handover of a reprocessing endoscope 20 is reached from a table or the like.

After fitting the trolley 30 with appropriate reprocessing endoscopes 20 becomes the dolly 30 to the treatment device 10 moved or delivered, so that the treatment device 10 on its impure filling side 11 is fitted in the open state with the endoscopes to be cleaned and disinfected, wherein in the assembly of the processing device 10 this at the pure removal side 12 closed is. Here, for example, when lowered recording device 32 the pneumatic cylinder 36 with a compressed air source (not shown here) of the treatment device 10 connected, so that after loading the air cylinder 36 of the trolley 30 with compressed air, the recording device 32 is raised vertically.

For the transfer of reprocessed endoscopes in the recording room 13 the processing device 10 be the ones with endoscopes 20 provided wire baskets 22 from the impure filling side 11 inserted. With the formation of a fully automatic control, for example, using conveyors, such as conveyor belts, the wire baskets 22 automatically from the trolley 30 in the recording room 13 brought in.

After placement of the recording room 13 becomes the treatment device 10 on the impure filling side 11 closed, allowing the reprocessing process of the surgical instruments inside the receiving space 13 is carried out. After processing the endoscopes 20 in the recording room 13 becomes the pure withdrawal site 12 the processing device 10 opened so that using another on the pure removal side 12 the processing device 10 delivered transport vehicle 30 the reprocessed endoscopes 20 in the wire baskets on the second trolley 30 in the respective storage compartments 34.1 to 34.3 be pushed.
