PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for reprocessing a medical device. An apparatus and method for reprocessing a medical device includes a decontamination basin, a first flush conduit, a second flush conduit, and a manifold. The first and second flush conduits have corresponding first and second connection ports configured to fluidly connect to a medical device positioned within the decontamination basin. The manifold is fluidly connected to the first and second flash conduits and is configured to distribute the fluid received therein accordingly. The apparatus also includes a first valve, a second valve, and a primary pump configured to discharge fluid to the manifold at a predetermined supply flow rate. First and second valves are positioned in the first and second flush conduits, respectively, to balance the corresponding flow discharged from the first predetermined conduit flow and the second predetermined conduit flow. .
