Abstract

Cleaning systems and methods include use of a container to receive one or more components used in a medical procedure and a manifold apparatus configured to be coupled to the container. For example, the manifold apparatus may include an inlet connection connectable to a reprocessor fitting of a reprocessing apparatus to receive a fluid therefrom (e.g., a cleaning solution, a disinfecting solution, and a rinsing solution) and one or more outlets configured to provide the at least one fluid into or through one or more components received by the container. For example, the one or more outlets may include an outlet connection connectable to a component fitting of at least one of the components.
