1. An endoscope reprocessor comprising:
a main body apparatus including:
a suction pump;
a tube having one end which communicates with the suction pump; and
a bottle connecting instrument connected to another end of the tube; and
a bottle including:
a medicinal solution storing chamber; and
a nozzle which communicates with the medicinal solution storing chamber,
wherein the bottle connecting instrument includes:
a connecting port which is connected to the tube;
an insertion port into which a distal end of the nozzle is inserted;
a first flow path which connects the connecting port and the insertion port with each other;
a first advancing and retracting member which is disposed so as to be advanceable and retractable in the first flow path, the first advancing and retracting member being configured to shut off the first flow path when the first advancing and retracting member is positioned at a first position in the first flow path and open the first flow path when the first advancing and retracting member is positioned at a second position on a side of the connecting port with respect to the first position;
a first fitting member disposed in the first advancing and retracting member on a side of the insertion port; and
a first retaining member configured to retain the first advancing and retracting member when the first advancing and retracting member is positioned at the first position, and
the nozzle includes inside of the nozzle:
a second advancing and retracting member which is disposed so as to be advanceable and retractable in the nozzle, the second advancing and retracting member being configured to shut off the nozzle when the second advancing and retracting member is positioned at a third position in the nozzle and open the nozzle when the second advancing and retracting member is positioned at a fourth position on a side of the medicinal solution storing chamber with respect to the third position;
a second fitting member which protrudes from the second advancing and retracting member toward a nozzle opening of the nozzle, and is configured to be fitted with the first fitting member; and
a second retaining member configured to retain the second advancing and retracting member when the second advancing and retracting member is positioned at the third position.
