Innovation-driven breakthrough: KaiLi Medical establishes a benchmark for domestic medical device brands

2019-08-27

In recent years, driven by national medical reform policies and a growing public demand for high-quality medical care, the domestic medical device market has seen significant growth. Data shows that from 2008 to the present, the domestic medical device research and manufacturing sector has achieved a compound annual growth rate of over 20%. High demand has driven an overall improvement in the technological level of domestic medical devices. In the international market, long dominated by developed countries in Europe and America, Chinese leading medical device companies such as Mindray and Lepu Medical have emerged. For example, in the field of high-end ultrasound and radiology diagnostic technologies and products, Chinese medical companies are now competing with GE, Siemens, and Philips.

Unique Device Identification (UDI) is the electronic identity card for medical devices. In the context of the information age, UDI is an advanced means of international medical device regulation, a "universal language" for global traceability of medical devices, signifying that medical devices can be traced and monitored throughout their entire lifecycle, from production and processing to circulation, distribution, and use! On August 9, 2019, the National Medical Products Administration issued a "Notice on the Pilot Program Training for the Unique Identification System of Medical Devices" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice").

High-value consumables volume procurement is imminent; how can medical device companies break through the deadlock?

2019-08-23

A series of national-level measures to govern high-value medical consumables have, in addition to squeezing out the "water" in their inflated prices, also created a prime opportunity for manufacturers of high-value medical consumables with truly independent intellectual property rights and core competitiveness to stand out. In the long run, volume-based procurement in the field of high-value medical consumables is expected to accelerate the substitution of domestic products for imported ones. Foreword In recent years, thanks to China's economic development, the increasing demand for people's health, significant improvements in R&D and manufacturing capabilities, and policy benefits such as national support for innovation in domestic medical devices and encouragement of domestic substitution of imports, China has...

The pilot program for the registration system is expanding. How should medical device R&D innovation be approached?

2019-08-22

Currently, the innovation capabilities of medical device enterprises in our country are relatively weak. High-end products on the market are more often seen from multinational corporations. Compared to these large companies, our enterprises, doctors, and scientists are still somewhat lacking in innovation capabilities, and product research and development registration is more difficult for us. I believe that an important reason for this result is the difference in innovative thinking. In the process of product research and development, functionality research and development comes first. Next, it needs to undergo tests of compliance, reliability, ease of use, and mass production. The first is compliance; there are more than 1600 national and industry standards for medical devices, and innovation is frequent
