We have an industry dominated by few players, some of which have already tested the waters and withdrew.  This also leaves open the alternative of developing a competing sterilizer.

Some developments are to be expected in 2019!

Yes Asp/Fortis is coming out with a knock off of Steris1E ... paracetic acid called high level one that has been in the market for over 15 years. But it does not terminally sterilize and hence it is not a sterilizer but a disinfection solution washer ...  Echo actually mentioned it a few weeks back....by the way there are an estimated 20000 Steris 1E units in the market ..... could you imagine VP4 getting part of that market?
