Automated Endoscope Reprocessors Market: Synopsis

As per U.S. FDA, automated endoscope reprocessors are key medical instruments that finds key applications in healthcare surroundings for reprocessing endoscopes such as duodenoscopes and endoscope accessories. Reportedly, these medical devices are designed for killing microorganisms present on or within reusable endoscopes by exposing them to high proportion of disinfectants or sterilant solutions. Furthermore, healthcare units across the globe are shifting towards automated endoscope reprocessors use over flexible endoscopes. The reason being flexible endoscopes are manufactured from delicate raw materials and are difficult to disinfect and can infect patients with heptatis B, tuberculosis, and HIV.

Furthermore, automated endoscope reprocessors provide a slew of benefits over manual reprocessors such as reduction in human errors and minimizing exposure of persons to chemical sterilants. In addition to this, automated endoscope reprocessors also referred to as AERs improve consistency and minimize the health issues of the persons using high-level disinfectants (HLD). Apparently, automated endoscope reprocessors improve efficacy and reliability of endoscopy reprocessing through automation and standardization of various important reprocessing steps, thereby minimizing the probability of human errors. Apart from this, AERs use minimizes reprocessing persons exposure to hazardous chemical germicides and hence is recommended by The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
