Paper Abstract
Contamination of the inner surface of indwelling (implanted) medical devices by microbial biofilm is a
serious problem. Some microbial bacteria such as Escherichia coli form biofilms that lead to potentially lifethreatening
infections. Other types of medical devices such as bronchoscopes and duodenoscopes account for the
highest number of reported endoscopic infections where microbial biofilm is one of the major causes for these
infections. We applied a hyperspectral imaging method to detect biofilm contamination on the surface of several
common materials used for medical devices. Such materials include stainless steel, titanium, and stainless-steeltitanium
alloy. Potential uses of hyperspectral imaging technique to monitor biofilm attachment to different material
surfaces are discussed.
