After seeing his boss off, Lu Tingfeng returned to the office, pondered for a moment, and called his assistant to ask.
"It will be launched in half a month. How is the booth layout?"
The assistant handed over a document: "Our exhibits are all portable equipment, so the booth layout is relatively simple. The booth construction plan has been determined, the promotional materials have been prepared, and all preliminary preparations have been completed. The exhibition is expected to start Construction started in the first 3 days.”
Lu Tingfeng nodded and said while looking at it: "We have just released a new product, magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy, and we will immediately modify the plan to add it. This equipment is slightly larger and needs to be specially arranged. You can go to Wang Dali for the technical parameters, and he will provide them to you." you."
The assistant agreed and left.
Lu Tingfeng turned to the back. At the end of the document was a booth map with exhibitors marked in detail.
He unexpectedly discovered that the Olympus booth was actually very close to Sanqing, right next to it.
Sanqing decided to participate relatively late this time, so it did not get the best and most central booth.
However, although Sanqing's booth is not in the middle, it is not in the corner either, but next to several major equipment giants such as Siemens, Philips, Medtronic, and GE.
In this case, the flow of people is still okay.
But he didn't expect that he would be right next to Olympus.
"It's really a coincidence." Lu Tingfeng narrowed his eyes and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
When Sanqing decided to participate in the exhibition, there was no endoscopic equipment, and it was not developed until the exhibition date was approaching.
He originally planned to put the portable device in the most eye-catching position, but now he must highlight the magnetically controlled capsule gastroscope and design an eye-catching layout specifically for it, highlighting a sense of future technology and contrasting with the booth next door. Compared.
To be honest, magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy has quite a gimmick and will definitely attract the attention of the audience.
Lu Tingfeng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he soon had a new marketing plan.
****
Kunming City, First People's Hospital.
Peng Hai came to the hospital early to wait. It was almost eight o'clock before he walked to the gastroscopy room.
As Mindray's after-sales engineer, today is the day he has made an appointment to come to the home to perform routine maintenance and upkeep on the equipment.
Of course, if there is a malfunctioning piece of equipment, he will have to repair it.
Knocking lightly on the door and receiving a response, Peng Hai pushed the door open and entered.
At a glance, three doctors who had just started working were already sitting inside, and he immediately greeted them warmly.
"Dr. He, Dr. Fang, Dr. Sun, good morning!"
Dr. He was in his early forties, short and lean, with very lively eyes. When he looked back, he immediately smiled.
"Hey, it's Xiao Peng, long time no see. By coincidence, your gastroscope has had some problems these days. It's not working very well, so I can take a look."
Peng Hai's heart thumped and he shouted that something was wrong.
Wasn't it just repaired last month? Why is there another problem?
The failure rate of the company's equipment is probably too high.
He smiled instantly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dr. He stood up and walked to an electronic gastroscope, picked up the operator, pressed it a few times, and said with a frown.
"The tube is blocked again, and it's a little difficult to supply air and water. The bending part is also a little out of order, and it always feels uncomfortable to use."
Peng Hai walked over, checked it carefully, and said, "Maybe the wire rope inside is broken. It can't be repaired on site. I have to take it back for repair."
"As for the pipe being clogged, it was just replaced a month ago. It shouldn't be a problem with the pipe. Let me check the air pump first." He bent down to check the air pump on the main unit, and then raised his head after a while: "There is something wrong with the air pump. I Just replace the parts and it should be fine.”
Doctor He waved his hand: "Okay, just do what you have to do. But how could the wire rope inside break? The quality of your equipment is not good, why is it so weak?"
Peng Hai said with a smile: "It is a common problem that the wire rope is easy to break. Every electronic gastroscope has this problem. This bend is a snake bone tube composed of several snake joints, so that it can be operated flexibly. If the angle is adjusted too sharply, , if you use too much force or forcibly rotate it, it will easily cause the wire rope inside to be stretched or broken, causing control failure."
Doctor He said with some displeasure: "So, it's still a problem of improper operation on our part."
Peng Hai said with a smile on his face: "No matter where, there will always be some mechanical failures. Even Olympus cannot avoid this problem."
Dr. He nodded with a steady expression: "That's true. The tube of the electronic gastroscope is not easy for us doctors to operate, and it is prone to malfunctions. Either the outer rubber tube is aging, or the inside is blocked or the wire rope is broken."
"It's actually very difficult for us. Everyone is very careful when operating. Otherwise, it will easily cause damage to the patient's mucosa. In severe cases, intestinal perforation may occur. The movements that a tube can do are really limited. Alas..."
As he spoke, Dr. He couldn't help but sigh.
A doctor next to him interrupted: "Lao He, it's okay. We still have capsule gastroscopy available."
"Capsule gastroscopy!" The word fell into Peng Hai's ears. He immediately perked up his ears, slowed down his movements, and listened while inspecting.
Dr. He shook his head and sneered: "Capsule gastroscopy is actually a gimmick. It is a one-time thing. It is so expensive and cannot be popularized at all. Moreover, it can only cover about 30% of the stomach, and it cannot see submucosal lesions." , there is no way to perform a biopsy, and the image is not clear enough.”
The doctor next to him said doubtfully: "No way, this is a device developed by Sanqing. Didn't we try it yesterday? It's very easy to use. The operation is very flexible and the real-time images are clear. According to their engineers, it can also be recycled." If you take advantage, the price will definitely be much cheaper.”
Dr. He chuckled: "I haven't used it on patients yet. Who knows if it will work or not."
Another doctor interrupted: "Don't argue. The patient will be here soon. You will know if it works or not after trying it. Do you want to make a bet?"
Doctor He glared at him and stopped talking.
Peng Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly scanned everywhere with the corner of his eye, and finally found a new device in the opposite corner.
The silver-white body is placed on a small cart and looks very technological. There is a 26-inch monitor on the top, an accessory box on the shelf, and three small components.
There are not many things put together. It is not like other electronic gastroscopes that fill the shelf to the brim. Instead, it looks a little empty.
"It seems that this is Sanqing's capsule gastroscopy." Peng Hai thought to himself, suddenly feeling a strong curiosity and wanting to see how patients use it.
With this thought in his mind, the movements of his hands naturally slowed down.
Suddenly, a doctor stared at the screen and laughed, his voice full of joy.
"Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. The first patient comes to the door. He is a 68-year-old man. He is relatively old and does not want to do ordinary gastroscopy. His heart is also not very good. He cannot take anesthesia and painless gastroscopy. Capsule gastroscopy is just the right choice. The trial period was free, so I recommended this to him.”
"The appointment is at eight-thirty. I should be here soon."
Everyone immediately became energetic and showed great care for the first white mouse to come to the door.
"Show me the case study. Well, I have had high blood pressure for many years, and I also have a slight heart problem. Although I have been taking medicine to control it, it is really not suitable for ordinary electronic gastroscopy."
"Let's see how the effect is. In fact, capsule gastroscopy is quite suitable for the elderly."
"The old man reported that he had an insertional gastroscopy when he was young. At that time, the technology was probably immature and the tube was relatively thick and could damage the esophagus, so he was afraid of it and resisted it, so he chose capsule gastroscopy."
No wonder, everyone nodded to express their understanding.
Dr. He also changed his mind: "It seems that capsule gastroscopy is not useless. In this case, it is indeed the best choice. I have the most experience. I will try it myself soon. I must try to check it more carefully to prevent the old man from suffering again."
The doctors were having a heated discussion and completely forgot about Peng Hai's existence.
Peng Hai simply couldn't ask for this kind of situation. In order to reduce the sense of presence, he touched here and there, and concentrated on 'checking' the equipment.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
An old man with gray hair walked in on crutches. Although he was old, he looked very energetic. Behind him was a somewhat stout middle-aged man, probably his son.
"Please sit down!" Dr. He showed a professional smile.
The old man nodded and sat down. The son next to him looked around curiously.
"We are here to do gastroscopy. It is said that it is a new activity. You can experience capsule gastroscopy for free. Where is it?"
Doctor He rolled the equipment over and said, "That's it. Have you fasted this morning?"
"Following the doctor's orders, I didn't eat again after dinner last night." The old man said while staring at the equipment, his face also full of curiosity.
"Haha, then drink some water." Another doctor brought a full glass of water: "Just drink a few more glasses to make you feel full."
The old man took the plastic water cup and drank three cups in a row before stopping.
Dr. He put on gloves, opened the small box on the cart, and carefully took out a capsule-like object.
Swish!
In an instant, all eyes turned over, curiously looking at such a small capsule.
Only the upper half of it is transparent, revealing the black precision components inside. The whole thing looks very high-end and technical.
The old man and his son stared at it for a long time with their eyes wide open, and then asked in surprise: "Is this the thing?"
After receiving a positive answer, the old man's expression became complicated. He was shocked with a hint of joy and a hint of confusion.
He was filled with emotion and exclaimed: "Is technology so advanced?"
"Yes, please open your mouth."
The old man opened his mouth and swallowed the capsule with water. It felt like taking medicine every day, with no difference at all.
Dr. He turned on the equipment, placed the capsule positioner next to the lying old man, then pulled out a robotic arm and placed it above the old man's stomach.
Then the monitor was turned on, and three seconds later, an operation page appeared on the screen.
He selected "Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Imaging" with the remote control, and a red and white image appeared in front of his eyes.
"Okay." Dr. He praised, "The image is very clear. I didn't expect that such a small capsule could fit a camera with such a high resolution."
"It should not only be the camera imaging, but also the addition of the algorithm." A voice interrupted. It turned out that Peng Hai had walked nearby unknowingly, stood among the doctors, and started watching together.
Dr. He chuckled and didn't care. Although equipment manufacturers are more taboo about people coming to observe due to fierce competition, this is in a hospital and doctors don't care so much.
Everyone stared at the screen with burning eyes, and some even swallowed uncontrollably.
"This should be the junction between the esophagus and the stomach, here at the cardia. Look, there is a position diagram on the upper left side of the screen. You can now control the capsule to move to the stomach." Someone urged.
"Okay, then I'll start. The speed must be slower." Dr. He felt his palms were slightly sweaty and became a little nervous.
Although he has rich experience in electronic gastroscopy, when faced with such a new thing as capsule gastroscopy, he suddenly felt like a novice.
Fortunately, his mood was very stable and his hands were as strong as a rock, controlling the capsule to move slowly toward his stomach millimeter by millimeter.
Soon, red and white images filled the entire screen, and the mucosal tissue on it was clearly visible.
Because the capsule is under the control of an omnidirectional magnetic field, it can be photographed and controlled from all angles.
Dr. He carefully controlled and checked all the way, trying not to miss any lesions.
Others were chatting away nearby.
"The field of view is quite wide, almost 170 degrees."
"As you can see, the gastric mucosa has varying degrees of congestion. It should be chronic gastritis."
"It's red here, the edema is more serious, and there's even some erosion in several places."
"Is there a close focus mode?"
"Yes." Dr. He controlled the capsule to stop at a severely red and swollen place, and switched to close focus mode.
"Oh!"
The crowd of onlookers immediately let out an exclamation.
The image on the screen became less red, the white muscle tissue, and the red swelling became clearer, less red, and closer to what it would look like under normal light.
"Okay, the clarity is not much different from Olympus electronic gastroscopy."
"It seems like you can still do a biopsy, right? Do you want to try it?" Someone was immediately eager to give it a try.
"Well, the old man has some gastric erosion here, and it is estimated to be a mild gastric ulcer. It would be best to extract some biological tissue and conduct pathological examination to determine the specific cause."
Dr. He pondered for a moment and felt that a biopsy was indeed needed, so he moved the capsule close to the erosion area and switched to biopsy mode.
On the screen, a small clamp slowly appeared in the camera lens and stretched towards the stomach wall.
This biopsy operation seemed to be automatic. It quickly clamped a piece of eroded tissue and slowly retracted it.
The whole place was silent, everyone stretched out their necks and remained motionless until they watched the whole process, and then they all let out a sigh of relief.
"Awesome!" A voice suddenly rang.
Peng Hai's face was red, his eyes were shining with excitement, and he said excitedly: "Today is really an eye-opener! I didn't expect capsule gastroscopy to be so powerful now."
Everyone nodded and praised each other.
"I have never seen such a small capsule capable of biopsy."
"It's really awesome. It's worthy of being produced by Sanqing."
"Okay, let's see if there's nothing wrong with it, then you can come out."
"By the way, this thing can also control the return of the original route." Dr. He shouted excitedly.
Everyone was refreshed again. They had never seen a capsule gastroscope that could control the return route. No, they had never even heard of it.
The last time I heard about a similar incident, the monkey jumped out of Princess Iron Fan's mouth.
"Okay, next we have to control the capsule to crawl out of the esophagus. Please pay attention. If you feel like a foreign body or want to vomit, don't suppress it. Just spit it out."
Doctor He said to the old man and asked someone to find a plastic bucket and place it next to the bed to facilitate the old man's vomiting.
The old man and his son stared at each other in confusion.
I understood the words, but I didn’t know what they meant.
Dr. He once again controlled the capsule to penetrate into the esophagus, and slowly moved forward against the esophageal wall.
He didn't dare to move too much, lest he irritated the old man.
The old man also felt something moving in his esophagus at this time, and there was a strange feeling like insects crawling up.
However, because the doctor had warned him, the old man did not panic, but opened his mouth in cooperation.
Fortunately, the movements were very slow, so it wasn't uncomfortable and I didn't feel like vomiting.
After a few minutes, my throat felt itchy and I felt something coming out of my throat.
Then, he saw a scene he would never forget.
I saw the capsule I had just swallowed slowly fly out of my mouth, shaking off a few drops of mucus along the way.
The old man was stunned and watched helplessly as the capsule flew into Dr. He's big hands.
Then he stood up and sat up suddenly.
If I weren't in the hospital, if I didn't know that I was having a gastroscopy...
"Come here, it's haunted!"
This sentence is about to blurt out.
