With the spread of the new crown pneumonia, medical equipment? Ventilator allows us to have a deeper understanding of it. In modern clinical medicine, the ventilator as an effective means that can artificially replace the function of autonomous ventilation, has been commonly used in respiratory failure due to various causes, anesthesia and respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support therapy and first aid resuscitation, and occupies a very important position in the field of modern medicine. Ventilators are used to prevent inflammation-producing body fluids from seeping into the alveoli by means of continuous pressure, helping patients to complete the respiratory process, as well as a medical device that can play a vital role in preventing and treating respiratory failure, reducing complications, and saving and prolonging patients' lives.
Many people will have a misunderstanding that the cost of the ventilator is very expensive, and many patients' families are reluctant to go to the ICU mainly because of the cost of the ventilator. The cost of the ventilator is not very high, it is billed by the hour, each hour is only 20 dollars a day, that is, about three to four hundred dollars. But there are still a lot of families who think it's expensive, and there's also a philosophy that medical equipment is very expensive.
This means that medical devices have a very long research and development cycle, and the cost of research and development is a very large amount of money, and the products are tested, clinical trials, and a series of processes down to a very long period of time, and at the same time, the cycle of registration of the product is also relatively long, and the investment in manpower and material costs are high. Medical device refers to instruments, equipment, apparatus, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials and other similar or related items used directly or indirectly in the human body. Efficacy is obtained primarily by physical means, not by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, or with the involvement of these means but only in a supporting role.
Another reason is that the medical equipment professionals in our country's gap is still relatively obvious, such as the design and development of some high-end products are basically foreign technology, while the domestic market share in this area is a tiny part, leading to these reasons is mainly the lack of senior domestic talent in this area, and now the instruments are basically foreign companies put in the hospital, the hospital will not pay, the expensive is the hospital, the hospital will not pay, the hospital will not pay. The hospital will not pay, the expensive are those consumables, reagents.
