Abstract:
1. An integral apparatus for testing and/or cleaning a channel containing medical device, comprising: a hollow manifold having at least one exhaust connector, said manifold having at least one pressure sensor for determining the pressure therein, and a solenoid valve located between said exhaust connector and said channel containing device, said solenoid valve operatively connected to said exhaust connector and capable of being operatively connected to said channel containing medical device; an airflow line having a compressed air source, a pressure switch and a solenoid valve, and an airflow measuring device, said airflow line connected to said manifold, said airflow line capable of maintaining a predetermined pressure; a microprocessor operatively connected to said airflow line pressure switch, operatively connected to said manifold pressure sensor, operatively connected to said airflow measuring device, operatively connected to said airflow line solenoid valve, and operatively connected to said exhaust connector solenoid valve, and said microprocessor, upon receiving a signal from said manifold pressure sensor detecting a pressure in said manifold, being capable of energizing said airflow line solenoid valve and also opening said solenoid valve connected to said exhaust connector so that said air in said manifold is capable of flowing into and subsequently out of said channel containing medical device.
