Three, the domestic capsule endoscopy in the clinical application
Israel GI company's M2A capsule endoscopy since 2002 into China, more than 30 hospitals introduced the device, but, due to some limitations on the function of the product, in particular, the price is too high (in the early stage, the patient's cost of a checkup as high as 8,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, or so), and therefore the number of uses was greatly affected.
Compared with imported capsule endoscopes, domestic OMOM capsule endoscopes are drastically reduced in price, with one examination costing around 4,000-7,000 yuan, and at the same time, they have their own unique advantages in terms of technology, so that OMOM capsule endoscopes have rapidly occupied the market due to their low price and high technological content since they were introduced.
The value of the application of capsule endoscopy in the clinic has always been a troubled hospitals and manufacturers of a problem. They are all seeking to position the value of the product from different angles. In the earliest days, Israel's M2A is located in the whole digestive tract examination, however, because the stomach lumen body is too large and can not control the time of its passage, so the randomness is too strong to be used as an option for stomach examination, coupled with the gastroscopy technology has been very mature, so the M2A chose to differentiate the positioning of the M2A is only clear that the M2A is used for the examination of the small intestine. This is because the small intestine, which is 5-7 meters long, has long been known as a blind spot in clinical examinations.
The manufacturer of the domestic OMOM capsule endoscope has taken a completely different line of thinking in positioning its clinical value. They will OMOM capsule endoscopy clinical value, located in three aspects: First, comfortable means of examination, to meet the poor tolerance of the population to check the disease and the high-end population checkups; second is a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment means, and other means of examination of the digestive tract with the means of improving the diagnostic accuracy; third is a breakthrough means of small intestines, in the small intestine can not be reached by the traditional methods of examination to achieve a true-color image examination.
The birth of capsule endoscopy, in addition to the blind spot of the small intestine has a major breakthrough, but also to enable the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases. There is an old Chinese saying that "prevention is better than cure". However, in order to do this in the clinic, advanced, safe and comfortable medical equipment is needed. A lot of treatment and examination equipment does not do painless and non-invasive, so that patients have a psychological fear and rejection, resulting in a lot of diseases can not be detected at an early stage, so that "once detected is the late stage". OMOM capsule endoscopy is a new, safe and comfortable means of examination of the digestive tract, which can eliminate the patient's fear of the examination, so that the patient is easy to accept, thus making the patient's fear of the examination, so that the patient's fear of the examination. OMOM capsule endoscopy is a new, safe and comfortable means of examination of the digestive tract, which can eliminate the patient's fear of examination, make the patient easy to accept, so that OMOM capsule endoscopy has an important value of early diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases.
The clinical application of OMOM capsule endoscopy has shown that, in addition to some of the patients accepting the examination because of pain, more than half of the examinees belong to the nature of physical examination. It proves that capsule endoscopy also has a broader application space in physical examination. With the improvement of people's quality of life, the pursuit of health has become a necessity. If OMOM capsule endoscopy can be vigorously promoted and applied in medical checkups, it can be expected that the national late incidence of digestive diseases will be greatly reduced.
