1. A washing appliance 100 for washing a medical device comprising a lumen and accessories (lumen device), the washing appliance 100 comprising:
a. a rinse tank 110 comprising:
i. a rinse tank interior space 140 defined by a rinse tank top 120, a rinse tank bottom 130, and rinse tank walls 150;
ii. an access door 170 for reversibly sealing a rinse tank opening 160 in the rinse tank walls 150; and
iii. a drain 135 in the rinse tank bottom 130;

b. a spray assembly 200 comprising:
i. a spray tube 210 extending through a spray tube opening 165 in the rinse tank top 120 into the rinse tank interior space 140 along a vertical longitudinal axis 180 extending from the rinse tank top 120 to the rinse tank bottom 130, the spray tube 210 comprising a spray fluid opening 220 at a spray tube proximal end 215 external to the rinse tank 110, a spray tube distal end 216 in the rinse tank interior space 140, wherein the spray fluid opening 220 is in fluid communication with a source of spray fluid;
ii. one or more nozzles 400 attached to the spray tube 216; and
iii. a manifold support structure 520 at the rinse tank top 120, wherein the manifold support structure 520 comprises a locking mechanism 570; and

c. a manifold 500 removably attached in the rinse tank interior space 140 at a first surface 510 of the manifold 500 to the manifold support structure 520, wherein the manifold 500 comprises:
i. a wash fluid adapter 590 connected to a wash fluid opening 580 in the manifold 500 and extending through a wash fluid adapter opening 595 in the rinse tank walls 150;
ii. device attachment points 530 at a second surface 540 of the manifold 500 opposite the first surface 510, wherein one or more of the attachment points 530 comprise a wash fluid delivery opening 596 in fluid communication with a source of wash fluid through a wash fluid flow path extending from the wash fluid delivery opening 595 to the source of wash fluid through a manifold channel in the manifold 500 extending between the wash fluid delivery opening 596 and the wash fluid opening 580 or the wash fluid adapter opening 595;
iii. one or more device attachment accessory 535 operable to hang a lumen device in a volume of space 190 extending along the longitudinal axis 180 below the manifold 500 in the rinse tank interior space 140;

wherein the manifold 500 comprises protruding edges 550 and the manifold support structure 520 comprises channels 560 operable to engage the protruding edges 550 of the manifold 500, wherein the locking mechanism 570 is operable to secure the manifold 500 to the manifold support structure 520, and wherein the one or more nozzles 400 are operable to spray the spray fluid into the volume of space 190.
