In a large, international, multi-site study, academic endoscopists used the first marketed single-use duodenoscope to successfully complete 503 scheduled ERCP cases with a range of complexity in a diverse patient population. Consistent with past studies, the device showed good performance** and an SAE rate comparable to published estimates for reusable duodenoscopes.1

Clinical evaluation of a single-use duodenoscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

In a consecutive case series testing the feasibility, preliminary safety and performance of a single-use duodenoscope, 60 ERCPs of all four ASGE complexity levels were completed across six sites in the U.S. for indications including pancreaticobiliary stone clearance, stent placement, exchange and/or removal, and balloon dilation.2
