    摘要: Medical device reprocessing systems, such as endoscope reprocessing systems, can include a processing chamber configured to receive one or more medical devices to be cleaned and a spray arm assembly configured to rotate relative to processing chamber. The spray arm assembly can include a spray arm and a passive emitter. A non-contact receiver coupled to the processing chamber can detect the presence of the passive emitter, and a controller in communication with the non-contact receiver can detect when the passive emitter is positioned at the detectable position proximate the non-contact receiver and increment a count of detected rotations of the spray arm assembly each time the passive emitter is positioned at the detectable position proximate the non-contact receiver and compare the count to an expected count. If the count is lower than expected, the controller can output an alert or shut down the system.
