Ambu announces CE mark and Japan clearance of single-use gastroscope and next-generation display unit

Ambu launches its latest innovations into Europe and Japan as next steps in global launch.

Today, Ambu announces that Ambu® aScope™ Gastro and Ambu® aBox™ 2 have received CE mark and market clearance for Japan, and Ambu will expand the global launch of its single-use gastroscope and next-generation display ecosystem to include Europe and Japan. Gastroscopy is a segment where more than 20 million procedures take place annually with reusable endoscope systems, and Ambu enters this market to address the current limitations of reusable endoscopes.

"Health systems in Europe and Japan are facing growing waiting lists, constraints in capital equipment, a growing burden of reprocessing and cross-contamination, and they are performing gastroscopies in multiple sites of care outside the GI department," says Bassel Rifai, Chief Marketing Officer at Ambu A/S. "Because of this, customers have given us the clear feedback that a portable, high-performing, always available, and sterile gastroscope will address an important need for health systems and doctors. We are excited to meet this need as we expand the global launch of aScope Gastro and aBox 2 into Europe and Japan."

The CE mark and market clearance for Japan followAmbu's announcement of FDA clearance in February and will be followed in the coming months by further market expansion in major markets including Australia and Canada.

The aScope Gastro is Ambu's second single-use solution for GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy following the launch of the aScope™ Duodeno 1.5. The coming steps in Ambu's expansion into the GI segment will be the next generation single-use duodenoscope (aScope Duodeno 2.0), a colonoscope and a cholangioscope to support healthcare systems and their patients with the most comprehensive single-use portfolio in GI.
