Rising Incidence of Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAI) due to Contaminated Endoscopes Drives Disposable Endoscope Market Growth

An increase in the presence of multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) on contaminated endoscopes can cause hospital-acquired infections (HAI). In recent years, endoscope-associated infections (EAIs), notably those linked to the reusable endoscopes used for ERCP (e.g., duodenoscope), have been a growing concern in the healthcare system. According to an article published in the National Library of Medicine, in December 2020, the attack rates of duodenoscope-associated outbreaks were between 6% and 20%. The same report concluded that the use of contaminated duodenoscopes during ERCP procedures can cause infections in as many as 10% of procedures. According to an article published in Cambridge University Press, in March 2022, between October 2019 and September 2020, 859 and 850 samples from reprocessed TJF-Q180V and TJF-160F/VF duodenoscopes, respectively, were collected. The overall contamination rate was 5.3%, with 91 samples from both models contaminated by high-concern organisms.

Thus, there is a rising demand for disposable endoscopes across Europe to avoid the cases of HAIs and risks associated with contaminated endoscopes.
