Endoscope repair by original equipment manufacturers and independent service organizations.
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(2003)
Abstract
There are limited options for repair and refurbishment of gastrointestinal endoscopes. There is variability in regulatory oversight between OEMs and ISOs. There is considerable variability in third-party certification among ISOs. Access to proprietary original manufacturer parts, materials, training, and technical manuals are advantages to OEMs and authorized ISOs. The potential for suboptimal repair(s) to impact negatively on endoscope function and durability is recognized. Compromise to patient safety remains undocumented.
