Cost of reusable gastrointestinal endoscopes to the NHS: findings from a micro-costing study
Some observed values were slightly lower than but generally comparable to similar studies. We identified the key drivers of costs, led by capital costs. The results of our study could be used in economic evaluations involving reusable gastrointestinal endoscopes. The methodology can inform the cost evaluation of medical devices that require intensive reprocessing.
