Abstract
Disclosed is a method of cleaning endoscopes within a container, wherein fluid flows from inside the container through the endoscope channels, predominantly in one direction, from the smaller-caliber end of an endoscope channel, or lumen, to the larger-caliber end. This method prevents the lodgment of particulate matter and human tissue in the smaller-caliber end of endoscope channels, and it allows fluid to flow through the entire length of all endoscope channels, to permit debris to exit the channels.
