The Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER) market is a subset of the endoscopy market, which is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat diseases of the digestive tract. AERs are used to clean and disinfect endoscopes, which are medical instruments used to view the inside of the body. AERs are designed to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and infection, and to improve the quality of endoscope reprocessing. AERs are typically used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities. AERs are typically composed of a washer, a disinfector, and a dryer. The washer is used to remove debris and organic matter from the endoscope, while the disinfector is used to kill any remaining bacteria or viruses. The dryer is used to remove any remaining moisture from the endoscope. Some companies in the AER market include STERIS, Getinge, Belimed, and Olympus. Show Less Read more
