In recent years, there has been a growing awareness about the risk of cross-contamination due to reusable endoscopes, which can carry harmful organisms among patients. With regard to reusable endoscopy, FDA has intensified its guidelines by issuing safety communications and highlighting risks across pulmonology, urology, ENT, and gastroenterology. Furthermore, over the past few years, there has been an increase in reusable endoscope recalls and safety warnings related to endoscope use in the urology, ENT, and gastroenterology branches. The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) has classified pulmonology, urology, and GI endoscopes as high-risk and has put in place highly stringent cleaning guidelines, which has increased the cost and the complexity of reusable endoscopy.
Reusable endoscope in the hospital systems requires complex reprocessing equipment, including drying equipment, and trained staff. Further, reprocessing delays, equipment downtime, endoscope breaks, and staff shortages can result in procedure delays and other inefficiencies, which can negatively impact patient care. However, single-use endoscopes are sterile and easily available.
They do not require complex reprocessing infrastructure reduces both labor and capital intensity whereas reusable endoscopes are both capital- and labor-intensive. Demand for single-use endoscopes continues to grow rapidly as healthcare professionals seek high-performing and intuitive endoscopy solutions that enhance patient safety, provide tangible workflow and efficiency benefits, and incorporate the latest technology advances.
