Endoscope, an inspection instrument that can directly enter the natural pipeline of human body, can provide sufficient diagnostic information for doctors to treat diseases.
However, the structure of traditional endoscope is complex, and it is difficult to clean and disinfect thoroughly. The application of the same endoscope in different patients can easily lead to cross infection, which will cause serious damage to the health of the infected, or even death.
In december2018, Olympus was fined nearly 600million for duodenal endoscope infection. It is reported that Olympus failed to ensure the scope of endoscope cleaning in frequent infection events, resulting in incomplete cleaning and disinfection by the hospital. Between 2012 and 2015, more than 190 people were infected with bacteria.
According to relevant research, endoscopes rank first in the ranking of cross infection risks of medical devices. More than 70% of endoscopes are not cleaned cleanly, and nearly three quarters of commonly used endoscopes are contaminated by bacteria. Therefore, the safety of endoscope becomes an unavoidable problem.
Take urinary endoscopes for example: after a long time of development, the second generation of disposable products have been launched in China, and their performance and anti infection ability are better than those of the first generation of disposable products.
The emergence of disposable endoscopes effectively solves the problem of cross infection, and there is no loss of endoscopes for disposable use, which can ensure that the endoscopes are in the best state each time they are unpacked, and improve the operation efficiency to a certain extent. In addition, disposable endoscopes can also enable hospitals to effectively control the costs related to endoscopes and promote the promotion of endoscopic surgery in grass-roots hospitals.
