Ultrasound probe disinfection refers to the method of thoroughly cleaning and removing all the microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, from the surface of an ultrasonic probe. Ultrasound probes are medical devices used to capture images and gather diagnostic information from within the body. The global ultrasound probe disinfection market value stood at US$486.32 million in 2022, and is expected to reach US$1037.48 million by 2028.
It is estimated that majority of the global ultrasound market is manually disinfected using low or mid-level disinfectants, which involve the use of mild soap solutions, LCD disinfectant solutions, purified water, isopropyl alcohol and wipes. The latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) categorise endocavity, transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound probes as semicritical items. The CDC recommends semi-critical items undergo HLD. Rapid expansion in ultrasound procedures has led to globally documented infection risks, which supported the market growth of ultrasound probe disinfection. The European Society of Radiology Ultrasound Working Group recommended that best practice includes a minimum of HLD for ultrasound use. Moreover, growing population, increasing incidences of HAIs, increasing awareness about the importance of disinfection of ultrasound probes, growing demand for obstetric ultrasound examinations, increasing healthcare expenditure by developing economies, ongoing implementation of high level automated disinfection systems, and high degree of compliance with high level disinfection guidelines in developed nations, etc., have been positively contributing towards increased demand for ultrasound probe disinfection products. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of approx. 13.5% during the forecasted period of 2023-2028.
The global ultrasound probe disinfection market is relatively fragmented. Major players in the automated ultrasound probe disinfection market include: Nanosonics, Germitec, CIVCO Medical Solutions, Lumicare. Major players in the manual ultrasound probe disinfection market include: Tristel, Metrex Research. Nanosonics Limited is the global market leader in ultrasound probe disinfection market but more than half of the broader ultrasound disinfection market is still using low or mid-level disinfectants. Nanosonics Limited’s main competitors in ultrasound probe high level disinfection (HLD) market is Tristel plc with company offering HLD wipes, and CIVCO Medical Solutions with company offering automated HLD device for endovaginal and endorectal probes (Astra VR), and another HLD device for transesophageal probes (Astra TEE) that can use Ortho-Phthalaldehyde and Hydrogen Peroxide disinfectants.
The key players of the ultrasound probe disinfection market are:

Nanosonics Limited
Roper Technologies, Inc. (CIVCO Medical Solutions)
STERIS plc
Ecolab Inc.
Fortive Corporation (Advanced Sterilization Products, Inc.)
GE HealthCare Technologies Inc.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (Samsung Medison Co., Ltd.)
Tristel Plc
Schülke & Mayr GmbH
CS Medical LLC
Germitec S.A.
Parker Laboratories, Inc.

The key players in the market are increasingly engaged in various research & development activities and initiatives to deploy new and more efficient products in the market and gain larger market share. For instance, On June 23, 2023, CS Medical announced the successful clearance of a new Class II medical device by the US FDA, Ethos Automated Ultrasound Probe Cleaner Disinfector, where Ethos is the first medical device cleared in North America which provides both cleaning and high-level disinfection of endocavity and surface ultrasound probes.
