Abstract:
An endoscope reprocessor includes a first connector receptacle configured to connect a first connector connected to a cylinder in an endoscope, a first switching device configured to switch the first connector to one of a sealed state and an unsealed state, a first gas feeding device connected to an air introduction port to introduce gas, and a processor configured to perform control such that first driving for driving the first gas feeding device by bringing the first connector into the unsealed state is performed and second driving for driving the first gas feeding device by bringing the first connector into the sealed state is then performed.

Claim (Index 6):
An endoscope dewatering method comprising bringing a connector for air/water cylinder inserted into an air/water cylinder in an endoscope into an unsealed state where gas leaks out of the endoscope from the air/water cylinder to introduce gas from an air supply connector and a water supply connector in the endoscope, and then bringing the connector for air/water cylinder into a sealed state where gas does not leak out of the endoscope from the air/water cylinder to introduce gas from the air supply connector and the water supply connector in the endoscope.
