阅读说明：本技术 内窥镜 (Endoscope with a detachable handle ) 是由 拉斯·马克沃思·约翰森 杰斯帕·马德斯·巴特洛夫·弗雷德里克森 莫滕·斯伦森 于 2018-05-02 设计创作，主要内容包括：披露了一种内窥镜(1),该内窥镜具有抽吸通道、与所述抽吸通道连通的抽吸连接器、以及液体可以通过的工作通道。提供了一种用于使通过该取样装置的抽吸转向通过样本容器的阀。该内窥镜(1)进一步包括用于推动液体通过所述工作通道的致动器(7)。(An endoscope (1) is disclosed having a suction channel, a suction connector communicating with the suction channel, and a working channel through which a liquid can pass. A valve is provided for diverting suction through the sampling device through the sample container. The endoscope (1) further comprises an actuator (7) for pushing liquid through said working channel.)

1. An endoscope having a suction channel, and a suction connector communicating with the suction channel, and a working channel through which a liquid can pass,

characterised in that the endoscope comprises a sampling device by which suction can be applied to the working channel, and a valve for diverting suction applied through the sampling device so that it is diverted through the sample container.

2. The endoscope of claim 1, wherein the sampling device comprises a sample container connector adapted to connect to a sample container.

3. The endoscope of claim 1, wherein the sample container connector is adapted to penetrate at least one seal of the sample container.

4. An endoscope as claimed in any preceding claim and including a liquid container which is an integral part of the endoscope.

5. An endoscope according to any of the preceding claims and comprising an actuator for urging the liquid through said working channel.

6. The endoscope of any one of the preceding claims, wherein at least a portion of the suction channel and at least a portion of the working channel are provided as the same channel section.

7. The endoscope of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the actuator for pushing the liquid through the working channel comprises a digitally displaceable actuator adapted to provide a force displacing the liquid.

8. An endoscope according to any of claims 4-7, wherein the liquid container comprises a displaceable piston adapted to displace the liquid under the influence of a force provided by the actuator.

9. The endoscope according to any one of claims 5 to 8, wherein the digitally displaceable actuator is connected to a force transmitting kinematic chain adapted to transfer motion and force between the digitally displaceable actuator and the displaceable piston.

10. The endoscope of any one of the preceding claims, comprising a valve actuator adapted to be operated using a single finger of the operator's hand and located at a position on the endoscope where the endoscope is accessible and operable by the fingers of the operator's hand that is gripping the endoscope.

11. The endoscope of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the endoscope is adapted for single use.

12. A method for performing an irrigation, the method comprising the steps of

Providing an endoscope according to any of claims 1 to 11,

the sampling device is connected to a vacuum source,

the insertion portion of the endoscope is inserted into the body cavity,

a saline solution is administered to the body cavity through the endoscope,

a sample is collected by drawing fluid from the body cavity through the endoscope and sample container.

13. A kit of parts comprising

The endoscope of any one of claims 1 to 11,

a saline cartridge or a syringe for saline,

at least one sample container.
