Impact on Medical Device Circulation

Zhu Xuejun, deputy general manager of China Medical Devices Co., Ltd. said that for high-risk medical device products, the circulation of business enterprises through the second audit, the second scan code, the second inspection, the second review, the second exchange to ensure that the industry in Throughout the process of foolproof, so the establishment of a unified product coding will optimize the traceability of medical device products.

Impact on medical device industry

Because medical devices are cross-disciplinary areas divided into 12 categories, the approval agencies or the organizations that accept the records are not the same level, which easily leads to different names of the same product in different provinces, including even the core technologies The title is not the same, which has seriously affected the medical device manufacturers in the bidding process, "competing" issue.

At a seminar held by China's medical devices, some participants said that their products have different names in the province where the enterprises are located and when they participate in the centralized bidding and purchasing process by other provinces, they must show relevant information each time Documents to prove that the tender catalog of products and companies to bid for the same varieties of varieties. However, some provinces have approved it, but some provinces do not approve it. As a result, many enterprises have lost provincial and provincial standards and are very helpless.

However, the unified coding of medical devices, the same, but not the same as the product name will be coded, to identify, will undoubtedly solve the qualification of enterprises to participate in the bidding.

Of course, a uniform code on the traceability of enterprise products will also be very helpful.
