ENDOSCOPE REPROCESSING DEVICE MARKET ANALYSIS

Endoscope Reprocessing Device MarketSize and Trends

Rising adoption of the innovative automated endoscope reprocessors in the healthcare settings to augment the growth of endoscope reprocessing market

The rise in adoption of endoscope reprocessors in hospitals for infection prevention and control and the emergence of automated endoscope reprocessors (AER) in the healthcare settings is expected to fuel the growth of the global endoscope reprocessing device market over the forecast period. The AERs can enhance the reliability and consistency of endoscope reprocessing by standardizing several important reprocessing steps, thereby reducing the possibility of human error. The use of AERs reduces exposure of personnel to harmful chemical germicides, thereby minimizing the health problems attributed to reprocessing of endoscopes. Moreover, rising government concerns pertaining to patient safety and strong healthcare infrastructure support are the factors contributing to rise in global endoscope reprocessing device market. For instance, in 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has asked the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) to issue guidelines for the improvement of facility-level training to ensure competency for endoscope reprocessing devices.
