A process for measuring and controlling the circulation of fluids in
endoscope channels that includes placing at least one endoscope into a
tank. Further, one or more inlet channels of the endoscope are coupled to
one or more valves with connectors, saturating the tank and inlet
channels with a fluid from at least one fluid supply in fluid
communication with at least one circulation pump. Further still, at least
one hermetic chamber having a known volume and the one or more valves,
such that the hermetic chamber and valves are completely filled with the
fluid. Controlling the fluid flow within the hermetic chamber with at
least one controller, wherein the controller controls and records the
emptying with one or more sensors detecting a high level and a low level
of the fluid, and verifies the known fluid volume and flow rate from the
recorded emptying of the hermetic chamber.
