RE:Latest advances in endoscopes in the past year

[Aimee1365]

The final sentence of that paragraph is what I am concerned about.  Single use scopes are not too far on the horizon and perhaps that is the cause of lackluster sales.  Why buy a new sterilizer from a no-name company with no historical use-trends when it may be a moot concern notsofar in the future?  Is that a crazy thought?  There is a reason why the VP4 is not selling rapidly given all of its "saving the world" claims.

Q: What are the latest advances in endoscopes in the past year?

Drosnock: My answers are framed around the reprocessing of these devices. Therefore, I feel that new sterilization systems (Sterizone VP4 System from TSO3) that are FDA-cleared to sterilize GI scopes are very exciting. As sterilization provides a higher safety margin associated with reprocessing, having FDA-cleared methods that are compatible with these scopes represent a huge advancement in patient care. Single-use disposable endoscopes and duodenoscopes with a disposable cap for the tip are two more of the latest advances in endoscope technology as they can significantly decrease the risk of infection related to improper reprocessing.
