Technical requirements for medical equipment

The hospital is not allowed to power off, once the problem of power failure, it may threaten the safety of the patient's life. Similarly, medical equipment can not be powered off, so medical equipment has very strict requirements for the specifications of the power supply. Therefore, there are special specifications in the design of medical device batteries.
China's demand for medical electronic products is growing faster than the global average - a huge population base and a rapidly increasing aging population and people's increasing health awareness, driven by national policies, medical informatization and technological revolution. The market demand for medical electronic products in China continues to grow rapidly.
In addition, China began to implement the 12th Five-Year Plan, in which the future development of medical equipment, there are the following three goals: 1) accelerate the development of domestic medical equipment industry; 2) Implement a unified procurement system; 3) Domestic medical institutions should give priority to the purchase of domestic medical equipment. With the gradual implementation of this medical reform program, domestic medical equipment manufacturers have made all preparations to take advantage of this rare development opportunity to develop a new generation of medical equipment.
In addition to the medical equipment must meet the internationally recognized standards, other aspects such as basic performance and whether the power supply used meets the specifications are very important, because the patient's health will be directly or indirectly affected by it. If the power supply of any electronic medical equipment related to patient care, clinical treatment, health monitoring, or image scanning fails to power on, power out, or other aspects of the problem, the consequences may directly affect the health of the patient, or even cause temporary or permanent harm to the patient.
Taking laboratory instruments or diagnostic equipment as an example, once there is a problem with the power supply, medical staff will not be able to make a correct diagnosis in time, and sometimes even have to do several tests, which is a waste of time, but also increase the mental burden of medical staff and patients.
In addition, once the power supply of a medical device fails, even if it does not pose an immediate safety problem, it will not be able to perform its basic functions, so medical device developers not only have to plug design loopholes at the idea stage of the product, but also have to continuously manage the risks throughout the life cycle of the product to avoid equipment failure.
