(Fighting new crown pneumonia) Chinese enterprises are working hard to produce invasive ventilator
China News Service, Beijing, March 30 (Reporter Liu Yuying) "According to incomplete statistics, in just 10 days since March 19, while protecting domestic demand, it has urgently provided more than 1,700 invasive ventilators abroad. It has reached half of the total domestic supply since this year, "said Xu Kemin, director of the Department of Industrial Policy and Regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China on the 30th.
At the press conference of the State Council ’s joint prevention and control mechanism held on the same day, Xu Kemin introduced that the epidemic is spreading rapidly around the world, and the demand for medical equipment abroad has increased dramatically, especially for invasive ventilators.
There are a total of 21 invasive ventilator manufacturers in China, of which 8 major products have obtained the EU compulsory CE certification, accounting for about one-fifth of the global production capacity, and the weekly production capacity of these 8 companies is about 2,200 units. At present, about 20,000 units have been signed. At the same time, a large number of international orders are being negotiated every day.
The ventilator is the most critical medical device for treating patients with new coronary pneumonia. After the epidemic, China has made every effort to promote the resumption of production of medical equipment companies. For example, Shenzhen Mindray Medical urgently called back the technical backbone of the fake home to resume work and resume production.
Xu Kemin introduced that the Industrial Information System will soon help to resume the production and production of 794 of the 853 national suppliers in the upstream, and help enterprises to solve problems such as shortage of spare parts and poor logistics and transportation.
As of March 29, China's major ventilator companies have supplied more than 27,000 respirators to the country, including more than 3,000 invasive ventilators. "Although there was a" struggling "situation in the process, overall, it effectively guaranteed the need for epidemic prevention and control in China, especially to win the Hubei and Wuhan defense wars," Xu Kemin said.
At present, Chinese companies have been producing ventilators non-stop and overtime for the prevention and control of the global epidemic.
"A ventilator has thousands of parts. The main parts suppliers are not only domestic, but also some overseas, including Europe. It is not easy to increase production on a large scale under the impact of the epidemic, and it is unrealistic to meet all needs "," Said Xu Kemin.
On March 29, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a video conference on collaborative expansion of key medical equipment industry chains. "With the joint efforts of all parties, China's production capacity of key medical equipment such as invasive ventilators will be further enhanced, making greater contributions to international cooperation in epidemic prevention and control," said Xu Kemin.
