Olympus announced in June 2020 the availability of the New TJF-Q190V Duodenoscope in the United States. The TJF-Q190V duodenoscope includes safety features meant to enhance the efficiency of reprocessing together with a manual flushing adapter and disposable distal cover.

Duodenoscope is a more complex device as compared to other endoscopes and is tough to clean and disinfect. These devices play an essential role in the treatment of patients, but there has been some evidence, which showed that some patients were infected with hospital born and other infectious agents, including antibiotic drug-resistant infections due to these devices. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerted the FDA regarding possible association of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and duodenoscopes. ERCP was associated with infections in 135 patients from January 2013 to December 2014. 

The duodenoscopes market is growing moderately due to the increasing prevalence of pancreatic, bile duct cancer tumors, and various gastrointestinal. Additionally, increasing research and development, technological advancements to identify the causes and risk factors associated with transmission of infectious agents from duodenoscopes, and developing new solutions to minimize patient exposure to such infection likely to drive the market growth over the review period.

According to the latest WHO report (World Health Organization), in 2015, 8.8 million people died across the globe from cancer, which is nearly 1 in 6 of all the global deaths.

Moreover, according to a report by the World Gastroenterology Organization, (2014), 35-40% of the world’s total population had acute or chronic GI complications.

However, increasing FDA recalls for duodenoscopes due to challenging cleaning and high-level disinfection procedures and rising multidrug-resistant bacterial infections may affect the growth of the duodenoscopes market negatively.
