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.

Global Automated Endoscope Reprocessors Market: Overview

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.

Global Automated Endoscope Reprocessors Market: Growth Factors

Humungous demand for value-based healthcare activities has played a key role in increasing the demand for automated endoscope reprocessors in the healthcare industry, thereby enlarging the scope of growth for the global automated endoscope reprocessors industry. Apart from this, surge in the rate of hospital acquired infections has translated into massive demand for automated endoscope reprocessors in hospitals & clinics. This has prompted the global automated endoscope reprocessors market growth trends. With automated endoscope reprocessors aiding in reducing the infections in patients, it is likely that the market for automated endoscope reprocessors is projected to expand by leaps & bounds.

Hindrances:

Massive costs and risk of getting infected post endoscopic reprocessing procedures can impede the global market surge

Huge costs related to automated endoscope reprocessors and minimal or negligible risk of infections due to use of these equipment can hinder the growth of the global automated endoscope reprocessors market.  In August 2016, the U.S. FDA recommended the people not to use Custom Ultrasonics Inc.’s 83 plus automated endoscope reprocessors for cleaning duodenoscopes after finding that the medical products were not properly validated. This can put brakes on the expansion of the global market in terms of both size and revenue. Moreover, risks of infection for healthcare persons during post endoscopic reprocessing procedures has posed a threat to the growth of the global industry.

Opportunities:

Increase in the emergency medical surgeries on patients performed in hospitals has promoted high demand for automated endoscope reprocessors

Rise in number of medical surgeries in case of emergencies have created new facades of growth for the global automated endoscope reprocessors market. In addition, massive popularity and adoption of upgraded automated endoscope reprocessors over traditional medical devices have opened a spectrum of opportunities for the growth of automated endoscope reprocessors industry across the globe.

Challenges:

Complicated design of medical equipment and flawed reprocessing of reusable endoscopes can prove to be a core challenge for the growth of the global market

Complex design of the medical device and faulty reprocessing of reusable endoscopes has proved to be a key challenge for the growth of the automated endoscope reprocessors business. Furthermore, use of duodenoscopes poses a huge risk to patients getting cross-infected and this can prove to be a major challenge for the expansion of global automated endoscope reprocessors industry.
