"Mr. Wei, the recruitment process is already in progress. We have received thousands of resumes and are currently screening them. I believe that within a month, a large number of qualified hardware engineers will join us."
"Mr. Lu is leading the team to conduct research at Hospital 120, and there is still a week left before he can return..."
"Sales of portable color ultrasound have been rising, not only from hospitals, but also from provincial bidding orders..."
Qi Liang sat opposite, his whole body stretched in a straight line, and reported carefully.
This was his first time reporting to the big boss, so he was inevitably a little nervous and did not dare to relax in any move.
Wei Kang leaned back in his chair and showed a kind smile: "You did a good job, I'm very satisfied."
"As for the military medical all-in-one machine, there are currently four types of equipment missing: a respirator, an AED defibrillator, and a syringe pump. It would be best to have a biochemical analyzer, coupled with a portable color ultrasound and monitor, to be considered suitable for the military. Customized requirements."
"Actually, there are four types of respirators, defibrillators, syringe pumps, and biochemical analyzers. There are relatively mature portable products on the market. However, it is still quite difficult to make our color ultrasound and monitors as small and exquisite as ours. .”
Qi Liang couldn't help but nodded: "Mr. Wei is right, these portable products currently on the market are relatively large and weigh from three kilograms. They are not portable at all and can only be said to be mobile devices at best. "
"It's okay if you only need to carry one of the devices. A single soldier can carry it, and two people can do it, but this is the ultimate. If you want to pick up six devices at once, it is simply a fantasy. , unless you have superhuman strength."
"So these devices are said to be portable, but they are only for use in hospitals. They can only be used on medical vehicles when going out. If it is on the battlefield, at least a medical team will be needed to bring them all. "
Wei Kang praised: "Yes, so for the other four devices this time, we have to make them as small and portable as the color ultrasound. In this way, the six types of equipment are placed in a medical first aid kit, along with common medicines and Medical consumables can be used by individual soldiers."
Qi Liang gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Mr. Wei, don't worry, although it is very difficult, we will definitely work hard to learn R&D ideas from color ultrasound and monitors, achieve miniaturization and integration as soon as possible, and integrate these four A portable device was developed.”
Wei Kang chuckled: "Actually, I have already developed it, and the drawings and data are on the system server."
"If you receive the email, you can enter it through the address link. The permission has been granted to you."
"You should do some research first. Then when Lao Lu comes back, you can see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."
"What?" Qi Liang was instantly shocked and looked at Wei Kang blankly.
President Wei has already done it all by himself?
Even the drawings and detailed data are out?
Isn’t this too awesome?
However, he immediately remembered that the portable color ultrasound and monitor were also developed by the Ministry of Health. This design idea is naturally of the same origin. It is not surprising that new results can be achieved so quickly.
He quickly reacted, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said sincerely: "That's great, Mr. Wei, they all say you are so awesome, they keep saying it, it's like thunder, but I didn't really see you until today. The horror of it is truly well-deserved.”
Wei Kang smiled slightly: "It's actually not difficult. If nothing else, it's really easy to improve something like a portable AED."
He connected to the screen projection, called up the design drawings of the four devices, projected them on the screen, and then talked and explained his general ideas.
"You also know that portable AED defibrillators are now very mature. They can be as big as a suitcase or a book, and their functions are also very simple. They only need to analyze the heart rhythm of cardiac arrest patients, and then conduct in vitro Just defibrillate."
"It's just bulkier and more expensive, but in fact, AEDs don't require many advanced functions."
“Look at ours, it’s only the size of a power bank and has a 5,000 mAh battery that can be charged
electricity. "
"The front is a 7-inch display screen, and electrode pads can be connected to the back. After connecting the electrode pads, the patient's heart condition can be analyzed first, and it can be used only if it meets the conditions for cardiac arrest. It can also switch between children and children with one click. Adult mode."
"You can perform scheduled self-tests every day to comprehensively check the AED main unit, electrode pads and battery power. The results are transmitted to computers and mobile phones, and can even be connected to smart watches to provide real-time data."
"The screen can display ECG waveforms and graphical interfaces, and combines manual and automatic defibrillation functions. It can also use voice, video, pictures, etc. for guidance."
"Sturdy structure, powerful performance, resistant to falling, wear and bumps, with protection level reaching IP55."
"The high-performance lithium battery can last for 400 defibrillation shocks and has a standby life of up to five years."
The more Qi Liang watched, the more shocked he became. His mouth opened wider and wider, enough to fit an egg into it.
After a while, he let out a big breath and said in a trembling voice: "This appearance is so beautiful. Mr. Wei, in addition to your technical skills, I didn't expect you to have such great aesthetics. How can this appearance win a Red Dot Design Award?" Absolutely no problem."
"I never expected that a portable automatic defibrillator could be made like a power bank. It doesn't look like a medical device, but like an electronic product."
"Haha, just because it's a medical device, you can't give up on the pursuit of design. Those old-fashioned looking devices have long been outdated."
Wei Kang deeply agreed. Among other things, the design aesthetics produced by the system were really strong, and he had to be convinced.
Qi Liang then pondered: "In that case, the registration test must start as soon as possible. The defibrillator is a third-class medical device. The registration time is at least one year. Although the military only requires samples, we also need to We are pursuing listing as soon as possible.”
Wei Kang smiled and said: "Registration inspection is indeed a problem, but we should be able to apply for a green channel."
Qi Liang frowned and said, "But we have four new products. The number may be a bit too much, and you may not be able to apply for them all."
He hesitated and said, "I have a method. Strictly speaking, it's not formal, and it's even a bit illegal, but it's an unspoken rule in the medical device industry. Everyone is using it, and there have been no problems."
"Oh, would you like to hear it?" Wei Kang asked curiously.
"We can find a ready-made product, make the appearance the way we want, make some internal changes, and then register it. This will be quick and can be done right away."
"When our own product is ready, we can say that although there have been design changes, the internal design ideas are the same and can be equivalent. This can save a lot of time."
Wei Kang's eyes widened: "Can you still play like this? Won't the testing center be suspicious?"
Qi Liang explained with a wry smile.
"This suspicion is also possible, but it's none of their business, and they don't bother to care so much. Besides, there are too many OEMs and ODMs now, and the equipment is often no different from electronic products. You can't check it too much. Yan, if people don’t change, then wouldn’t it be an injustice to a good person? It would be miserable to be complained about, so it’s unnecessary.”
"So testing laboratories generally don't care about it. Even if they do, the worst they can do is find another testing laboratory. It's not the only one in the industry."
"The device industry is still different from the pharmaceutical industry. Many devices are used outside the body, so the supervision is not so strict."
"The main reason is that the registration period for devices is too long, especially for Class III medical devices. There are many and strict approval procedures. Getting the certificate in one year is considered fast. It is not impossible to wait for three to five years."
"In order for a product to be sold, it has to go through multiple processes such as product development, third-party testing, clinical application, system review and administrative approval. You know, there are always many smart people in China, so they buy someone else's product first. For similar products, replace the shell and use it for registration testing and clinical practice.”
"What's more, they didn't even change the casing, they just removed the product label, changed the software to their own logo, and registered it openly."
"During the testing process, we will immediately start developing our own equipment and wait until we get the registration certificate.
, our own products have also been developed. At this time, if you make another design change, you can sell it. "
"???Can it still be like this?" Wei Kang suddenly had many questions in his mind.
He couldn't help but ask: "Then the most important test has been circumvented. Who knows if there are any hidden risks in the newly designed equipment? Do any patients dare to use such equipment?"
Qi Liang said with a look of shame: "A lot of people don't like this method, but there's nothing we can do about it. Many manufacturers are actually doing this. Although it saves time, it does put the lives and health of the majority of patients at risk."
"But since everyone is doing this, we don't have to be too exclusive. At worst, after we get the certificate, we will conduct a strict test and eliminate all risks before listing it on the market."
"Although the medical devices in Eagle Country are so developed, there are actually many tricks in the FDA's review. I have also worked in foreign companies for a long time, and I know all about this. For example, their 510(k) rapid certification process has many products. They didn’t meet the requirements, but they all passed.”
"If a product has passed certification, then similar products that are similar to it can go through the fast registration process, which is the 510(K) process."
"For example, the famous da Vinci surgical robot, an innovative product that created an era, also went through the 510(k) certification process. Is it still famous and popular?"
Wei Kang sneered and said: "Let me tell you, no wonder the first generation of the Da Vinci surgical robot had many medical accidents after its release. It turned out that it came out through the fast track and did not go through a thorough testing process at all. "
"Such a quick process sounds reasonable, but it is actually a big loophole. It cannot guarantee the safety of the equipment at all. Because many medical devices appear to have the same principle, but they are actually very different."
He shook his head resolutely: "We don't want to take shortcuts, let's go through the formal testing process. Find a testing center in Kunming City. With Sanqing's reputation, we can definitely speed up the process. There is no need to do some crooked things."
At this point, he suddenly laughed: "Just wait in line. Anyway, there is only one customer at the moment, the military. They only require us to hand over working samples within six months. If something is really useful, we must purchase it on a large scale. Then let them worry about the registration time."
"Haha, when the time comes, there will be people who are more anxious than us."
Qi Liang suddenly realized: "Mr. Wei is smart. Indeed, if the civilians are not in a hurry, there is really no need to follow these hidden rules, which will only ruin your reputation."
He looked excited and said: "Actually, this is a good thing, and it is also a major selling point of Sanqing equipment. After all, other than Sanqing, which equipment company dares to pat its chest and say that it never takes any "shortcuts"? "
Wei Kang nodded: "Well, it's good that you know."
"You should keep an eye on me during this period. When it's time to work overtime, it's time to make samples. When Lao Lu comes back, we can make the first batch of prototypes as soon as possible."
"Of course, we must make it clear to our suppliers, sign the strictest confidentiality agreement, and prioritize meeting our needs."
"No problem." Qi Liang nodded solemnly.
Sanqing has always had abundant cash flow and is generous in giving money. As long as it is the funds that should be paid, it will be paid directly in cash when the settlement period comes, and it has never defaulted. Therefore, it is the favorite partner of suppliers.
And the order volume is also very large. In addition to the strict quality requirements, we can be called the most perfect customer.
Generally speaking, such customers, as Party A, can do whatever they want with Party B, and are treated as big benefactors for in-depth cooperation.
Next, the two went through the other three devices.
Wei Kang explained his design concept in detail so that Qi Liang could fully understand it and ensure the smooth implementation of the project.
Qi Liang listened in turn and was in a state of confusion.
Without him, what President Wei came up with was really awesome.
He didn't even know how long Mr. Wei's brain was to be able to design such a powerful device.
Some simple equipment, Wei
Once done, more and more advanced functions can always be achieved.
Just like a simple automatic respirator, the hardware is very simple and consists of nothing more than a breathing bag, a mask, a tracheal tube, a connector, etc. It relies on pressure to push airflow into the patient's respiratory tract to assist breathing.
The technical requirements for the hardware are not high, but the technical content is all about the breathing rhythm control function.
Because many times, the patient breathes spontaneously. In this case, the rhythm of the respirator and the patient's spontaneous breathing must be coordinated, which is the key to successful treatment.
Otherwise, if you are still unable to synchronize yourself even after using a respirator, you must first use drugs to suppress spontaneous breathing, and then use a respirator.
Sanqing's simple automatic respirator can automatically adjust according to the patient's breathing rhythm and achieve perfect synchronization with the spontaneous breathing rhythm in the shortest time.
As for the portable dry biochemical analyzer, it is even more powerful.
A palm-sized box comes with 16 biochemical testing functions. It can test human liver function, kidney function, blood lipids, uric acid, blood sugar and electrolyte function, etc., to understand the basic health of the body in a timely manner and screen for diseases. It plays a very important role in helping to achieve early detection and early intervention.
This is nothing. The large biochemical analyzer can do more testing items, dozens of them.
But if it can be so portable and compact, and can produce results within a few minutes, the meaning is completely different.
He also heard the design principles, and he can only say that it is very exquisite and makes people admire it.
This device uses a dry test kit, which is divided into 16 small grids. Just take a small tube of blood and put it in, even if it is only a few milliliters, the blood will automatically flow into the kit, evenly divided, and the test in the 16 grids will be moistened. On paper, individual chemical reactions are carried out to detect results quickly and accurately.
He could imagine that the technical content of this kit must be very high.
As for the last mini syringe pump, he was also amazed.
There are a wide variety of syringe pumps on the market, but they are all relatively large and require a series of heavy and complex machinery to complete control and operation.
Sanqing is very simple. It is about the size of a lipstick. It can be adjusted in diameter and put on different types of syringes. It can be adjusted and set according to a small gear to achieve uniform, smooth and high-precision flow control.
The only disadvantage is that it can only be used once and cannot be injected into many people at the same time.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s so small, just equip it with a few more, you don’t have to worry about not being enough.
"It's simply amazing."
Qi Liang looked at the design on the screen and couldn't help but marvel.
His mind was buzzing, and he was numbed by the products Wei Kang came out one after another.
