Id: 3520699 evaluation of the performances of a single-use duodenoscope: a prospective multicenter french study

Duodenoscope contamination was suggested to be the potential source of ERCP-related cross-infections. Several strategies and solutions have been proposed to avoid the risk of duodenoscope-transmitted infections. A single-use duodenoscope (SUD) has been recently developed to overcome issues with ERCP-related infections. The aim was to evaluate SUD safety and performance in a prospective multi-center study.
