Patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using either of the 2 duodenoscopes were assessed for superficial mucosal injury, perforation of the stomach or intestine, mucosal bleeding, pancreatitis, infection, death or any other symptom reported by the patient.
Providers assessed the 2 duodenoscopes for maneuverability during the procedure in patients undergoing ERCP, using a previously defined scoring system which uses a 5-point scale ranging from 1 to 5, with 1 being easy to perform, 2 minimal difficulty, 3 moderate difficulty, 4 severe difficulty and 5 unable to complete the requisite maneuver.

Providers assessed the 2 duodenoscopes for their mechanical characteristics during the procedure in patients undergoing ERCP. Each characteristic was assessed using a published 5-point scoring system, with 1 being easy to perform, 2 minimal difficulty, 3 moderate difficulty, 4 severe difficulty and 5 unable to complete the requisite maneuver.
Providers assessed the 2 duodenoscopes for their mechanical characteristics during the procedure in patients undergoing ERCP. Each characteristic was assessed using a published 5-point scoring system, with 1 being no water leakage or no difficulty in applying suction or inflating air, 2 minimal leakage or minimal difficulty with suction or inflation, 3 moderate leakage or difficulty, 4 severe leakage or difficulty and 5 unable to perform the requisite function.

Providers assessed the 2 duodenoscopes for their mechanical characteristics during the procedure in patients undergoing ERCP. Each characteristic was assessed using a published 5-point scoring system, with 1 being no strain, 2 minimal strain, 3 moderate strain, 4 severe strain and 5 unable to complete the procedure.
Providers assessed the 2 duodenoscopes for their imaging characteristics during the procedure in patients undergoing ERCP. Each characteristic was assessed using a published 5-point scoring system, with 1 being superior, 2 good, 3 satisfactory, 4 suboptimal and 5 unable to visualize or achieve stability of image resulting in termination of procedure.

Patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using either of the 2 duodenoscopes will be assessed for their ability to perform endoscopic maneuvers like sphincterotomy, balloon sweep, use of basket/mechanical lithotriptor, stone clearance, stricture dilation using balloon/catheter, stent insertion, stent removal and use of single operator cholangioscopy/pancreatoscopy.
