How to investigate and deal with medical institutions using expired medical equipment cases

Medical institutions using expired medical equipment behavior, should be applied to the current "supervision and management of the use of medical devices" Article XII "medical equipment use units shall not purchase and use not registered in accordance with the law or preparation, without a document of conformity, as well as expired, expired, obsolete medical devices" and "supervision and management of medical devices regulations". Article 40 "medical device business enterprises, the use of units shall not operate, the use of not registered in accordance with the law, no qualification documents, as well as expired, invalid, obsolete medical devices" of the provisions of the investigation and handling, and in accordance with the "supervision and management of the use of medical devices" Article 27 (b) and "supervision and management of medical devices regulations Article 66 (3) of the bed shall be punished. However, there is a view that: the use of expired medical equipment for medical institutions to investigate and deal with the violation of the law, there must be evidence to prove that the use of the unit in the diagnosis and treatment process, the expiration of the medical device has been used for clinical patients.

The author does not agree with this point of view, the use of expired medical devices in medical institutions should not be limited to the use of the clinical patient's body or after the harmful consequences, but should include the "supervision and management of the use of medical devices" on the procurement of medical equipment, acceptance, storage, use, maintenance, management and other norms of the entire process of diagnosis and treatment, as long as law enforcement officers in the use of premises, clinic premises and pharmaceutical warehouses found to be expired As long as the law enforcement officers in the use of premises, clinics and drug stores found expired medical devices, and the medical institutions in the expiration of medical devices, and did not timely clean up, differentiate between the storage or destruction of the treatment, should be considered as a hazard to human health hazards exist, and should be found to exist in the use of expired medical devices. Only in the investigation and handling of such illegal cases, should pay attention to the problem is, in the inspection site to see whether the storage of expired medical devices and qualified medical equipment mixed together, whether there is expired product warning signs. If the expired medical devices are stored separately and have warning labels, they should not be investigated. If the expired medical devices have been opened and used in the clinical patients or cause harmful consequences, it should be punished. On the contrary, on the spot did not find medical institutions will be expired medical devices used in the patient's body on the grounds of non-investigation, not only will indulge in the use of expired medical devices of illegal behavior, but also will lead to the use of the use of non-registered according to law, no documents of conformity as well as out of the medical equipment and other similar cases of investigation and handling, which is not the original intention of the legislation. Imagine, law enforcement officers in the end, what is the probability of the scene to find the use of units are expired medical devices used in clinical patients in the body.
