A colonoscope is a medical device used for endoscopic examination and treatment of diseases of the digestive tract. It consists of a flexible tubular instrument with a light source and camera system that can be inserted into the digestive tract through the body's mouth or anus to observe and diagnose lesions or perform some therapeutic operations.
In China, the production, distribution and use of medical devices need to comply with relevant laws and regulations, including regulations on the management of medical devices. Medical devices need to go through the registration and filing procedures of the relevant departments and obtain the corresponding medical device registration certificates or filing vouchers before they can be legally sold and used in the market. Medical devices also need to have appropriate quality certification and testing requirements to ensure their safe and effective use.
Colonoscopy is therefore a medical device, not a drug, and is subject to the laws and regulations pertaining to medical devices. Please note that when purchasing and using colonoscopes, it is recommended that you choose to purchase them from regular channels, and please follow the instructions and practices of your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use.
