Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and apparatuses for monitoring fluid properties relating to a medical device's cleanliness. In embodiments, an apparatus for monitoring the fluid properties relating to a medical device's cleanliness comprises at least one sensor that measures a pre-cleaning parameters of a cleaning fluid and a post-cleaning parameters of the cleaning fluid, a cleaning chamber coupled to the at least one sensor, the cleaning chamber configured to receive the medical device and clean the medical device using the cleaning fluid, and a processing device coupled to the at least one sensor. The processing device is configured to: determine a cleanliness of the medical device based on a comparison between the post-cleaning parameters and the pre-cleaning parameters; and output the cleanliness of the medical device to a display device.

Claim (Index 20):
The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the post-cleaning parameters is based on at least one of the following: an amount of total dissolved solid in the cleaning fluid, an amount of total dissolved oxygen in the cleaning fluid, an amount of total organic carbon in the cleaning fluid, an amount of fluorescent agent, an amount of activated carbon, a pH of the cleaning fluid and a conductance of the cleaning fluid.
