China Youth Daily client Shenzhen News (China Youth Daily · China Youth Network reporter Liu Fang) On May 8, the reporter learned from the Shenzhen Industry and Information Technology Bureau that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the Guangdong High-Performance Medical Device Innovation Center Upgraded to the National High-Performance Medical Device Innovation Center, with Shenzhen National Research Institute of High-Performance Medical Devices Co., Ltd. as the supporting unit to carry out the establishment work. This is the only national manufacturing innovation center in the field of medical devices, and it will build the country's most important device in the field of life safety and biosecurity in China.
 
High-end medical equipment is the key support and dependence for the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases. For a long time, the development of the domestic high-end medical device industry lacks core technology, has weak innovation capabilities, and there is a certain gap in technology, quality, design and other international advanced technologies. The international market and even the domestic market share have been monopolized by international giants. Taking the well-known artifact "ECMO" (also known as artificial lung) in the new coronary pneumonia epidemic as an example, the use of this device is essential to rescue critically ill patients with the new crown. However, due to difficulties in overcoming core components and materials, China currently mainly depends on import.
 
The localization of high-end medical equipment is imminent. However, because the research and development of advanced medical equipment is multidisciplinary cross-integration and system integration, to solve the high-end medical equipment innovation and development of scientific and technological problems, it requires strategic deployment, multi-party resources linkage, the need for cutting-edge technology and common key technology collaborative research and development.
