With the increasing use of endoscopes, the risk of infections linked to reprocessing is also increasing. When endoscopes are used on multiple patients, they become contaminated with microorganisms. In order to avoid such risk of infection, endoscopes undergo a detailed and automated multistep process to clean or sterilize them, known as reprocessing.

With the increasing use of endoscopes, the risk of infections linked to reprocessing is also increasing.
When endoscopes are used on multiple patients, they become contaminated with microorganisms. In
order to avoid such risk of infection, endoscopes undergo a detailed and automated multistep process to
clean or sterilize them, known as reprocessing. Special care must also be taken while reprocessing
endoscopes as inadequate reprocessing can result in adverse patient outcomes, such as tissue irritation
from residual reprocessing materials (chemical disinfectants). It is also important that the endoscope be
designed in such a way so that it can be adequately reprocessed. Ideally, both the manufacture and the
user of the endoscope have roles to play in ensuring the safe and effective reprocessing of the device.
Manufacturers should provide adequate labeling which must include instructions for reprocessing
endoscopes safely while the user should be able to follow these instructions. Reprocessing of
endoscopes involves three steps:
Initial cleaning and measures to prevent contamination on the device
Device is thoroughly cleaned in a dedicated cleaning area
The device is disinfected or sterilized and finally put back into use

Endoscopes which come into contact with mucosal surfaces should be used with invasive devices such
as biopsy forceps. Various reprocessing technologies used for sterilization are hydrogen peroxide gas
plasma sterilization, ozone sterilization, and ethylene oxide sterilization. For the determination of
adequacy of a particular cleaning process, endoscopes are analyzed through a series of assays to
determine amounts of protein, carbohydrate and other biomarkers.
Based on reprocessor equipment, the automated endoscope reprocessor market can be segmented as
follows:
Washer-disinfectors

Based on geography, the automated endoscope reprocessor market can be segmented into four major
regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW). Out of these regions, North
America dominates the market followed by Europe. The prime factors which are responsible for the
growth of automated endoscope reprocessor market are increasing awareness of healthcare providers as
well as patients regarding the spread of hospital-acquired infectious diseases. The AAMI TIR 12:2010 of
Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation guidance document discusses the risk
associated with medical equipment surfaces. It states that these devices “can contribute to secondary
cross-contamination by the hands of healthcare providers or by contact with medical instruments that will
subsequently come into contact with patients. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is growing at a great pace and is
considered to be one of the most promising regions for the growth of automated endoscope reprocessor
market. The advantageous factors which would augment the growth of the market in Asia Pacific are
rapidly developing healthcare infrastructures in various developing regions, and increasing government
funds to support the growing medical devices industry. Furthermore, increasing incidences of various
associated diseases due to medical device contamination would also propel the growth of automated
endoscope reprocessor market in the coming future.
Various companies are operating in the automated endoscope reprocessor market for better and safer
patient outcomes. Moreover, most of the companies have tight partnerships with their clients to deliver the
best results through efficient automated reprocessing. Some of the top players dominating the automated
endoscope reprocessor market are MEDIVATORS Inc., Getinge Group, STERIS Corporation, Advanced
Sterilization Products Services, Inc. and others.
