Social security card upgrade
A clear direction has been the electronic medical record information to load. Accordance with the \"new medical reform\" program, electronic medical records medical information will become the \"starting point\", the information of all aspects of the series together. From Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen and other cities of practice, which means that as long as through social security card, the hospital can see each person\\ s medical records and past drug use, while the information the public can also with their social security number and Set the password via the Internet queries.
But this is only the first step in electronic medical records information to load. As the national social security information network access is subject to the same background, the expansion of electronic medical information, but also subject to the network transmission speed and back-end storage capacity. Prior to the person in charge of medical information throughout the interview, we have said, in addition to drug use, another can provide important help in the diagnosis is to check the data of the period. From the current practice, will check the data by adding electronic medical records, is not technically difficult, but the data, especially as the X-rays, magnetic resonance image examination such data, each one has dozens or even hundreds of megabytes, how to store and quickly called in the background, it is troubled over the issue of medical information to promote. The solution to this problem, one needs to increase investment, it also requires the chain together, such as cloud computing from the direction of technological innovation, to find a new breakthrough. Social security card upgrade program announced last week, its function most directly reflected in the medical, therefore, is about to get a social security card for the country\\ s general population, they are most concerned about is that, in addition to real-time settlement of medical insurance costs, the social security What card can accommodate dynamic information? people can enjoy medical information, what kind of tomorrow in the end?

Ten Trends of China s medical industry
1, investment sources: lack of government investment → a combination of government and the market
The Government will increase the public health, hospitals and public hospitals, primary inputs, and through the integration of social and individual health insurance funds. But also by allowing access to social capital with the public hospital system to attract social capital on a large medical input problem.
Importance of government investment focus from large hospitals to public health and basic medical attention to changes in
Common disease, common, conventional medical care by the health insurance protection.
Policies and laws of the market for attention to both.
2, the medical expenses: main → lower health care costs at their own expense and universal health care
(1) be limited to drugs to support medical, forcing hospitals to improve the revenue structure, shorten the average length of stay, relying on technical service quality and cost of clinical path management and financial control to improve efficiency.
(2) health insurance sector has a strong control of the hospital.
Hospital characteristics and advantages of technology and specialized, and cost control combined with the clinical path management control of the disease as hospitals compete for health care cost basis, featureless technical advantages of hospital difficult to survive, or low-cost, large-scale, or have characteristics of technology, in order to win the survival and development.
3, the operating mechanism: institutions → Enterprise Management
Public hospitals from the separation of ownership and management, personnel distribution system reform, the income structure improvements, cost control, strengthen internal mechanism reform, the central issue is difficult and personnel distribution system.
Full appointment system is implemented with the post paid, hospital executives and academic leaders will improve treatment, talent flow will accelerate.
4, the property rights system: the public hospital system to participate in a variety of ownership →
(1) private hospitals will be encouraged, such as could be classified as non-profit hospitals, health care access and so on.
(2) public hospitals in the regional health planning under the premise of property rights reform, especially in two hospitals, corporate hospitals have the opportunity for different degrees of restructuring (decentralization of management, restructuring of part of the property, full property rights restructuring, MBO, etc.), as backbone and staff of public hospitals and private hospitals to provide investment opportunities.
Private investors from the next biggest opportunity for the public hospital system.
5, industry restructuring: the relative stability of the industry sectors to accelerate differentiation mix →
(1) large hospital groups to speed up expansion forces. Some public hospitals, private hospitals will be able to become a public part of a large hospital groups to seek to develop protection.
(2) disadvantaged small and medium sized hospitals, corporate hospitals for restructuring or strategic re-positioning.
(3) of the small hospital in primary care, to seek the government s public investment.
(4) the strong get stronger, vertical and horizontal, industry restructuring, brand competition era.
6, the industry structure: → in public hospitals dominate the world industry-wide management and regional health planning under the premise of public, private, foreign and other diversified investment structure
(1) community first diagnosis, classification and two-way medical referral mechanisms, industry vertical integration.
(2) to encourage private and other social capital. But will increase the threshold, (private market share from 4% to 50% improvement), and to strengthen access control. (Industry vertical and horizontal integration, vertical and horizontal)
(3) foreign investment (600 billion U.S. dollars) waiting to enter the high-end medical market.
(4) the main private hospitals to have characteristics of general hospitals or specialist hospital, or clinic after a medical examination before the diagnosis, chronic diseases, rehabilitation and other markets.
7, competition in the industry: homogenization, speculative, low-level features → positioning, technology differentiation, patient harmonization stage that brand competition
Strategic positioning and technical characteristics and advantages of the most important means of competition. Branding expert to become the focus of competition; In addition, the physician-patient relationship harmony and relationship marketing has become an inevitable trend. Public and private hospitals are required to re-examine the industry structure, reflect hospital development strategy, strategic transformation.
8, the hospital management: management → Amateur career management
Lack of professional management of human resources in public hospitals and private hospitals to meet the next major reorganization of the industry one of the most important obstruction. Professional managers and human resources will be further industry consolidation attention, professional management training and hospital management consulting industry to develop.
9, the industry rule: a comprehensive understanding of local knowledge →
(1) technical quality as the core. The medical center, depending on the patient as a "disease", the natural law of medical attention to clinical-oriented;
(2) focus on human and cultural services. Patient-centered, depending on the patient as a "people" pay attention to the medical community law; service-oriented,
(3) for the purpose of development of the hospital. To health needs as the center, depending on the patient as a "consumer", the economic importance of medical law, brand-oriented.
Three laws need to be taken seriously, any sweeping is wrong, will lead to strategic (global, long-term, fundamental) error.
10, hospital development: strategic transformation of non-strategic →
(1) positioning is everything! (Identify the characteristics of positioning!)
(2) internal operations (for employees) and external business decisions (the patient)!
(3) determine the quality of life, the brand decided to develop sustainable development through core competency!
(4) determine the core competitiveness of the hospital culture! Real decision-makers from the core competitiveness of the vision and mind!

Medical Device Recall Yixie industry to promote survival of the fittest
\"medical device Recall Management (tentative)\" (hereinafter referred to as the \"Rules\") on July 1 officially implemented. Recall of defective medical devices is an international convention on the protection of public safety with firearms played an important role, but also reflects the medical device manufacturer is responsible for product quality concept. Insiders have pointed out that the \"measures\" to implement a number of small businesses may have caused the loss, to a certain extent, will accelerate the integration of the medical device industry to achieve the survival of the fittest. · The original policy
A variety of ways to eliminate defective products
State Food and Drug Administration Medical Device Supervision Division, responsible person, \"means\" of chapters thirty-eight, were recalled from the medical device regulatory system, the recall classification and classification, and legal responsibilities in terms of medical equipment Recall of specific provisions to do the work.
Specific features include:
First, the core issues with international practice.
Stakeholders pointed out that for what kind of medical devices need to recall, is the development of the \"measures\" core issue \"means\" learn from the United States, European Union, the definition of defective product recall, the recalled products for a limited \" The term medical device recall, is the medical device manufacturer in accordance with the procedures provided for sale of its shortcomings have been of a class, type or batch of products, to take warning, inspection, repair, re-label, modified and improve the specification, software upgrades, replacement, recovery, destruction, etc. to eliminate defects of behavior. \"
Second, the reference drug recall system, from the contents of the framework, regulatory regime, the recall classification and classification, and legal responsibilities to establish three major medical device recall management system.
He pointed out that the recall of medical devices regulatory system, \"method\" specified in Article VIII of the medical device recall to the provincial Food and Drug Administration-based regulatory system. Grading and classification of the recall, \"method\" Article XIII defective medical device according to descending order of severity, the recall is divided into three; the same time, the medical device into a voluntary recall and ordered recall recall two, and set up a \"voluntary recall\" and \"ordered to recall the\" two chapters provides medical supervision and management of the implementation procedures and other details.
Third, according to the characteristics of medical devices made specifically relevant regulatory requirements.
He said that the medical disciplines involved in large span, species in various categories, a high degree of technical complexity, the \"measures\" clearly defined medical device recall the definition and handling of product recalls, in the \"medical equipment recall\" definition, in addition to emphasis on product defects, but also highlights the medical device recall, not only withdrew the product, you can also take warning, inspection, repair, re-label, modified instructions, software upgrades, replacement and other methods to eliminate defects; detailed provisions after the recall of products medical treatment measures.
Meanwhile, the \"way\" to define the contents of the recall notice. Medical device manufacturers to recall decision making, enterprises should be notified as soon as possible, the use of units or inform the user, control products prevent the recurrence of injuries. In order to increase operability, \"approach\" the specific content of the recall notice.
Fourth, the production company is the primary responsibility for product quality and safety of people, should also be subject to recall.
He pointed out that the \"measures\" clearly the first medical device manufacturers to control and eliminate the defects of the subject, should be responsible for the safety of their products, and this regulation shall establish and improve medical device recall system to collect medical equipment safety related information on defective medical devices may investigate, evaluate, and timely recall of defective medical devices. In the second chapter, \"medical device defect investigation and assessment\" further stipulates that medical device manufacturers should establish and improve medical device quality management system and medical device adverse event monitoring system to collect and record the quality of medical devices and medical device adverse events information, the information collected and analyzed, the medical device defects that may exist to investigate and evaluate.
To promote independent innovation of enterprises
Secretary-General of China Association of Medical Equipment introduced white friends know, the issue of foreign products in the recall of medical devices have sophisticated system management, China also has some areas of medical device recall the experience. 2002 Shanghai Food and Drug Administration medical device recall system implemented in 2005, Jiangsu Province, 48 medical device manufacturer commitment, \"the event of adverse events or product quality, manufacturers take immediate measures to recall,\" \"This is the first time the introduction of a unified national recall system. \"he said.
In 2008, the country holding \"Medical Device Distribution Enterprise License\" there are 157,364 enterprises, the country there is medical equipment manufacturers 13141. As of end of August 2010, China\\ s medical equipment sales revenue of 500 million yuan of the total number of enterprises of 1247, sales reached 100 million in less than 20.
White know friends, our country\\ s medical equipment industry is characterized by a low level, rapid development, now has a certain size, but most small and medium enterprises, technical force is relatively weak, domestic production of medical equipment companies more than 90% are low-grade products, large equipment products imported.
Ministry of Science and Technology Social Development Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Division Deputy Director Zhang Zhaofeng said, \"measures\" of the implementation of medical device manufacturers a higher demand, the objective will be to promote independent innovation of enterprises. China\\ s medical device manufacturers R & D system is not perfect, \"measures\" will encourage companies to implement more rigorous in-house R & D system.
Accelerate the integration of medical device industry
\"We believe that the long term,\" method \"will promote the healthy development of the industry as a whole, strengthening corporate social responsibility. A socially responsible company, faced with the problem itself should take responsibility for the health of the community and the public attitude always concerned with human health into the primary business location in the short term, this strengthened the regulatory standards of the industry, some companies will increase the cost of investment (to establish a sound mechanism to resolve product issues, such as: improving service coverage system product traceability system, emergency response and feedback mechanisms, etc.) which may be part of the system is not sound out of small enterprises, but also may cause some companies even better, which depends on the maturity of the enterprise, and whether early quasi-well prepared. \"Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics AG Quality Center said.
Shenzhen Mindray is China\\ s medical device industry\\ s leading enterprises. According to the person in charge of Mindray in the medical device industry for two decades, and product sales to over 190 countries and regions, is also bound to accept the state\\ s medical device regulatory supervision. Therefore, companies have a relatively complete process system, there are warning events for the whole process of \"alert response management procedures\" and applicable regulatory requirements in different markets, such as \"EU standards handling adverse event recall\", \"remove the action to correct the report of the United States and handling practices \", etc. He said that the domestic release of the new regulations only upgrade \"domestic sales of adverse events, re-evaluation and recall management approach\" to add new regulatory requirements on it, to be completed by 1 July the establishment of business processes.
White friends know that the \"measures\" to implement, is conducive to visionary, ambitious minded entrepreneurs to grow, help create a medical device and equipment production aircraft carrier, while the protection of the rights of patients and hospitals play a good role. However, some small companies may have losses, to a certain extent, will accelerate the integration of the medical device industry to achieve the survival of the fittest.
\"We are also worried that the public\\ s general lack of knowledge recall and regulations, may bring some people use the recall of information made the possibility of vicious competition.\" Shenzhen Mindray The responsible person said. White friends also know that the \"measures\" to implement the relevant implementation details still need to implement, developing in the supervision, management is more feasible mechanism of the program.

Experts say: Things are expected to change the medical model of medicine
Things are all kinds of information sensing device, such as radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensing, global positioning, laser scanning devices and the Internet combine to form a huge network, a remote sensing and control items, which gave birth to a more intelligent production and living systems.
At present, China\\ s medical resources are relatively limited, \"see\" the other issues more prominent in the large cities of this, especially in remote areas. Department of Respiratory Medicine, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University professor Ren Baichun initiated the main things medical, cross-integration of the medical, computer, information and wireless sensor technology, the hospital resources and medical equipment, organic integration of patients can achieve full utilization of medical resources , the cost of hospital treatment and the patient\\ s medical costs are significantly reduced, will help achieve the Government\\ s proposed health care institutions\\ services to patients, service to the community \"requirement. Before patients\\ visits to the hospital after the onset of \"passive treatment, and medical things through timely monitoring and early warning, to take the initiative to identify potential risks, helping patients to achieve active treatment. This model will greatly change people\\ s medical ideas, and then change the medical model.
It is expected that large intelligence network in the future, the computing power super computer cluster will be the center of the entire network of equipment and personnel for real-time management and control, a new health care model will be run in an orderly manner.
Portable Medical: Integrated MCU into a trend
With the increasing aging population, public health awareness and the new medical reform policy, the portable / home medical electronics sudden emergence in recent years, growth is very impressive, it also led to the MCU and other chips.
Present in the home medical equipment, the main chip MCU, some of the interface chip and A / D conversion, and now there are some vendors in A / D and so integrated into the MCU. Home medical electronic equipment due to the complexity of the test equipment used on the hospital compared to a relatively simple, in some low-end products such as blood pressure, blood glucose meter, etc., the 8-bit MCU that is enough. But with the development of the market, there are several trends worth noting:
First, large storage capacity and processing power. In order to store more data, such as patient test data storage for more than a month, and now the global market also requires some relatively complex equipment, such as the United States and other family demands with ECG monitoring equipment, medical equipment, which requires higher performance, the need for graphical display capabilities, storage capacity, wireless connectivity, which requires greater processing power MCU, higher parallel processing capabilities, as well as highly integrated, fast accurate computing power, 8-bit MCU will be 16, 32 bit MCU replacement. Before MCU and discrete graphics chip is the GPU, but with the size of home medical equipment requires more compact design, integration is also a future trend.
Second, low power consumption. Of home medical equipment, power consumption is very high. Such as nurses with medical equipment to home visits, may one day need to visit a lot of home users, which requires medical equipment to maintain the battery at least one day of battery life with this high demand, but also need power management chip is designed with ultra-low power design.
The third is security. To prevent hackers access to patient data, need to implant chips in encryption technology, making the chip with authentication, this high-security chip market demand. Program providers for medical electronics, medical electronics industry to understand and grasp the relevant standards and norms and certification throughout the program design and management, increase the product\\ s features more than competitive and strategic significance.
Fourth, long-range chip management. Remote update via the Internet and remote delete patient information, which requires stronger security MCU communications.
Fifth, many running in parallel and inter-MCU communication capabilities. With the equipment of the complex and multi-functional devices usually have a number of MCU, effective communication between them will be very important. The MCU should establish standard communication protocols.
Sixth, to support medical data exchange standards, in particular, HL7V3 standard, so that the device can be directly linked into the public health information network.
In addition, medical electronics, in addition to the basic home medical equipment, there is an aging population, nursing facilities, chronic disease management devices also have great needs. Care equipment in addition to the aging population to care for the body, but also for body care, such as the elderly can not fall, if fall it may lead to stroke, which also need to place monitoring. Chronic disease management requires long-term measurement, monitoring equipment, such as hypertension, diabetes, and some data to store 10 or even 20 years, and the equipment to the smaller development. These are made on the MCU higher requirements. Future integration, networking, digital, intelligent development of portable medical electronics will become a catalyst for rapid growth, future MCU integration will be higher, this will reduce power consumption, the cost will be significantly reduced.
In addition to MCU, the sensor also need to have greater development of its accuracy, reliability requirements are higher, even more than military. There are pH sensors, optical sensors, electronic sensors, these sensors to combine with the MCU, medical equipment manufacturers will be the real test.
SEBS rubber as a medical device companies compete for the target material into the
Relative to the natural rubber, synthetic rubber, ordinary, rubber, thermoplastic elastomer is SBS, SEBS in the industry as \"rubber gold\" in the world, is a high-end synthetic rubber.
SEBS is a hydrogenated product of SBS, because performance can be widely applied to produce high-grade automotive, medical device materials, toys, wire and cable and other areas, mainly imported from abroad.
Experts said that China\\ s high value-added enterprises should speed up the development and production of synthetic rubber to ease the contradiction between supply, competition for market discourse.
According to reports, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that the SEBS material non-toxic, not allergic to human tissue, variation and rejection, with good air tightness, heat resistance, aging resistance, high temperature cooking and can use direct ultraviolet disinfection, so medical devices can be used as basic materials, such as surgical sets, surgical gowns, infusion tube, tourniquet, blood separator, rubber plug, etc.
Therefore, SEBS rubber to become world-renowned companies compete for the goal.
Hospital sterilization packaging materials application analysis
Sterilization of packaging materials is essential hospital supplies, mainly used for clinical diagnosis and treatment equipment sterilization before packaging, the purpose is to avoid sterile after sterilization of the equipment during storage and transmission and other sterile environment by the process of re-contamination of bacteria In opening the package using Shihai remain sterile. With the continuous development of technology, sterilization, sterile packaging materials becoming more abundant species, often a hospital will also use several sterilization packaging materials. However, different types of sterilization packaging materials used in the technical specifications and cost aspects there is a big difference, in practice often caused by poor choices or increased medical costs of hospital infection. In this regard, we in the practical and economic approach, the hospital currently used pressure steam and ethylene oxide sterilization sterilization of several commonly used packaging materials are compared and analyzed, now the main methods and results reported as follows, for peer reference.

1.2 Rigid containers
Open and close the lid and have made use of the sieve of hard-style barrels, boxes and other containers made of stainless steel or aluminum, usually restricted 200. Be cleaned before each use and check the performance of the sieve, use the one or several pieces of equipment into the appropriate size container lid can be closed; but not automatically open and close type of container to be opened in a sterile sieve before hole, when sterilization is immediately shut down the pan.
1.3 of paper / plastic bags
Imported paper / plastic packaging bags on roll, the medical side is 70g/m2 paper can filter the air, the other side is a 0.1mm thick polyethylene plastic film. This single-use packaging materials. Packaging equipment when used according to the size of the first bag and cut the volume corresponding independent bags, then placed in separate bags with equipment heat sealing machine (160 â ~ 200 â) sealed at both ends of the bag to complete an independent packaging.
1.4 wrinkled wrapping paper
Table 14 kinds of sterilization packaging materials and resistance bacteria sterilization effect of contrast
Comparison Project cotton cloth rigid packaging containers of paper / plastic bags wrinkled wrapping paper sterilant penetration Youyou excellent results generally excellent sterilization effect of residual discharge after sterilization equipment generally Youyou 7 to 14 days shelf life of 7 to 14 90 days to 180 days for 30 days Youyou general physical effects of the general tolerance of cotton dust pollution equipment, pollution-free minor minor
The use of imported medical wrinkles than 70g/m2 wrapping paper, one-time use. Packaging with cotton cloth.
2 sterilization and bacteria resistance effect of contrast
Any sterilization packaging material should have the following conditions: allow sterilant penetration of direct contact with all surfaces of equipment package, allowing the air bag residues and residual sterilizing agent and the discharge, the ability to maintain package extinct bacteria equipment is sterile before use (within a certain time to play the role of bacterial barrier), certain anti-puncture, tear resistant, moisture-resistant, anti-friction ability to withstand the physical characteristics of the basic equipment package does not constitute pollution. However, based on several conditions on the four kinds of packaging materials for sterilization comparative evaluation, the results are: cotton cloth will help sterilant penetration and discharge, physical tolerance is also strong, but the bacterial barrier is poor, The maximum retention period after sterilization only 14 days, and have more cotton on cotton dust, may constitute the surface of the packaging equipment, dust pollution, rigid packaging container has a strong physical tolerance, and almost no pollution, But sterilant penetration depends mainly on the sieve and discharge parts, there is a certain lack of thoroughness, autoclaving may also produce local wet bag phenomenon. In addition, the maximum retention period after sterilization is only 14 days, the reason is on the container
Sieve and lid sealing is relatively poor. Paper / plastic bags effective and reliable barrier to bacteria, shelf after sterilization in 90 to 180 days, up to one year or more, and also has easy to sterilization, sterilization easy to rule out residual and almost no pollution, etc., However, anti-puncture, tear resistance, moisture resistance and other properties are poor, package equipment is also easily fixed, sharp and large pieces of equipment need to use other materials, or packaged to protect the paper / plastic bags to complete the final packaging. Characteristics similar to the wrinkles wrapping paper / plastic bags, but the shelf after sterilization in China is still no uniform standard, usually for 30 days.
3 packages with cost analysis
Sterilization packaging material is one kind of medical supplies, is an integral part of medical costs, but also in the use of a large hospital, so the use of sterile packaging materials, in addition to the requirements of its quality, we must also consider the use of cost. At present, our hospital is the largest cotton with cloth, cotton cloth we have to analyze these types of sterilization for the reference use of packaging materials costs (due to commercial reasons, the inconvenience list of specific acquisition cost), the method is: two 600mm × 600mm size cotton cloth bag to the standard equipment package, and then determine the other can just achieve the same effect of sterilization packaging specifications and quantity of packaging materials, namely Ņ240mm × 160mm of stainless steel barrels a sterilization tank, 250mm × 350mm size paper / plastic bags 1, 600mm × 600mm size of wrinkles wrapping paper 2. Determine comparable sterilization packaging material, combined with the actual packaging consumption (such as: chemical indicators outside of the package, packaging bundles belay, cotton cloth and rigid packaging containers of cleaning costs, etc.) and the sterilization period and other factors, Contrast can be calculated using several sterilization packaging materials
Cost difference.
Rigid containers of the highest acquisition cost, then cotton cloth, but two kinds of packaging materials can be reused, diluted, and each of its clean-up costs with the use of packaging costs are lower; paper / plastic bags and wrinkles packaging acquisition costs are relatively low, but are one-time use, the actual packaging costs are relatively high; if we consider the validity of the storage after sterilization and sterilization costs, paper / plastic bags and wrapping paper is a valid length of wrinkles effectively to avoid duplication of sterilization and other advantages, but its overall packaging costs than cotton cloth and a lower rigid containers.
4 analysis of integrated application
The four kinds of sterilization packaging materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, when used with certain hospitals in the choice difficult. There is cotton cloth and cotton dust pollution bad bacteria barrier defects, there is a certain risk of hospital infections, hospitals in foreign countries has basically been eliminated, but the main cotton cloth produced in China, has the unique advantages of low cost packaging, Moreover, the clean-up costs are usually digested within the hospital, therefore, the national hospital in the near future will be heavily used. Rigid containers with cotton cloth has the same advantages of low cost packaging, greater use of hospitals at home and abroad, but the domestic use of rigid packaging container structure and function are relatively poor, sterilization and sterile storage effect results not ideal, and some developed countries, hospital use and excellent performance of rigid packaging containers, the packaging of sterile equipment sterilization after the storage period of 3 to 4 years, but expensive, domestic hospitals rarely used, therefore, hard containers in the country, although the hospital will not be eliminated, but the need to constantly improve the design. Paper / plastic bags commonly used in hospitals abroad, in recent years in large and medium hospitals to use more
, The packaging cost and bacterial barrier advantages are more obvious, is a highly efficient new sterilization packaging material, just need a dedicated heat sealing machine Lamination seals, some manufacturers have now produced from domestic sealed type of paper / plastic packaging bags, some do not meet the heat sealing machines of small and medium hospitals. However, paper / plastic bags relatively poor physical tolerance, when in use need to pay attention to packaging and sterilization methods. Medical wrinkled wrapping paper has become popular to use in foreign hospitals, the packaging is better than cotton cloth, cotton cloth instead of a great trend, but currently the use of a smaller hospital, the main reason is the cost of packaging too high, and there has been no domestic manufacturers, in addition, its use and validity of post-sterilization is no uniform standard, limiting its use.
In summary, we believe, based on the sterilization of packaging materials to reduce the risk of hospital infection control and sterilization packaging costs, the current can be flexible with the use of sterile packaging materials, such as the cotton cloth and rigid packaging containers used only for routine packaging equipment and fast turnaround, not common, but long-term standby equipment is required to maximize the use of paper / plastic bags a single package, and wrinkled wrapping paper is mainly used for medical transplants, precision, micro-packaging and other important equipment. In addition, you can also use medical equipment, packaging wrinkles inner packaging, outer layer of cotton cloth, not only effectively prevent dust pollution, and control of the packaging costs.
