Single-use like you've never seen it before
Take the single-use bronchoscopy quiz
You probably have a good idea about the benefits and limitations of the single-use bronchoscopes currently available. However, the release of our new single-use bronchoscope will lift single-use bronchoscopy to a whole new level. It will make single-use bronchoscopy suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in the endoscopy unit.
Take the quiz below to learn more.
The soon-to-be-launched Ambu single-use bronchoscope family will be suitable for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in the endoscopy unit.
TRUE: Our new soon-to-be released single-use bronchoscope family will introduce a new standard for single-use bronchoscopy with broad endotherapy instrument compatibility (including active tools), excellent manoeuvrability and next-level imaging.
The current standard for disinfection of reusable bronchoscopes is enough to ensure patient safety.
FALSE: The latest FDA safety communication confirms that the current industry standard for disinfection of reusable bronchoscopes is not enough to ensure patient safety.
Single-use bronchoscopes are routinely used to perform advanced diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic procedures.
FALSE: However, a recent study stated that “when high-performance SFBs become available, they will quickly be adopted into practice for more complex procedures.” Our upcoming bronchoscope family offers features that will introduce a new standard for bronchoscopes.
The upcoming Ambu single-use bronchoscope family will open new opportunities to increase procedural volume.
TRUE: Unlike with reusable bronchoscopes, which require an investment in additional different sized scopes and a tower with a light source and image processor, the only item needed to increase capacity with single-use is an additional displaying and processing unit.
Single-use, sterile bronchoscopes may offer a safer alternative to reusable ones, especially for certain patient groups.
TRUE: In the immunocompromised patient and in rare cases of prion contamination due to TSE, single-use bronchoscopes may offer a safer alternative to reusable flexible bronchoscopes. Single-use also has the potential to create a safer working environment in situations where aerosol-generating procedures are unavoidable, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Source: link.springer.com
Single-use bronchoscopes facilitate easy access to training of flexible bronchoscopy.
TRUE: With single-use endoscopes, you don’t have to worry about damaging an expensive reusable scope, even in a training lab setting with inexperienced bronchoscopists. The system is also easy to transport and setup.
Single-use bronchoscopes are not suitable for use with the endotherapy instruments needed in the endoscopy unit.
FALSE: Our soon to be released single-use bronchoscope is compatible with a wide range of active and passive endotherapy instruments used for diagnosis and therapy.
Single-use endoscopes have not been adopted broadly by healthcare professionals.
FALSE: The Ambu® aScope™ Bronchoscope was released over a decade ago in 2009, and today, over one million single-use Ambu bronchoscopes are used annually in hospitals around the world. The 5th generation of aScope will deliver the performance needed for complex procedures and demanding workflow of the endoscopy unit.
