Endoscope is a testing instrument integrating traditional optics, ergonomics, precision machinery, modern electronics, mathematics and software. It has image sensor, optical lens, light source lighting, mechanical device and other parts, which are classified according to the different parts reached by the endoscope: it can be divided into gastrointestinal endoscope, otorhinolaryngology endoscope, oral endoscope, dental endoscope, NeuroScope, urethral cystoscope, electric cutting mirror, celioscope, arthroscope, paranasal sinus endoscope, laryngoscope, etc. Doctors use it to enter the human body through the natural lumen to assist in examination and treatment.
In recent years, the government has promoted the sinking of medical resources and abolished the access restrictions and personnel operation qualifications of urinary endoscopes at the level of medical institutions. In the future, the demand for endoscopes in China will increase, and the development prospect of the industry is good:
Since 2015, the general office of the State Council issued the guiding opinions on promoting the construction of graded diagnosis and treatment system, which has promoted graded diagnosis throughout the country and promoted the orderly and effective sinking of high-quality medical resources. In 2019, the Health Commission issued the notice on printing and distributing the management regulations on the clinical application of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology and 13 management specifications for the clinical application of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology, including respiratory endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology. In accordance with the reform requirements of the State Council on "release tube service" and the provisions of the administrative measures for the clinical application of medical technology, the access management of relevant technologies was cancelled, including the restriction of the level of medical institutions, institutional access and personnel access, Medical institutions can carry out clinical application of relevant technologies after self-assessment meets the requirements of relevant technical management specifications.
The sinking of high-quality medical resources promotes the increase of medical equipment in grass-roots medical institutions. The cancellation of endoscopic access qualification will give grass-roots medical institutions and personnel the opportunity to use endoscopes. Based on the two points, there will be a large number of endoscopic demand gaps in grass-roots medical institutions in the future.
At the same time, the government policy supports domestic substitution for import, vigorously supports domestic innovative medical device enterprises, reduces the management level of endoscope, and the number of endoscope manufacturers in China will continue to increase in the future, which will usher in competitive challenges:
In June 2017, the Ministry of science and Technology issued the special plan for scientific and technological innovation of medical devices in the 13th five year plan, which proposed to expand the market share of domestic innovative medical devices, fully realize the localization of mainstream high-end products, and lead the full localization of new medical products such as screening and early warning, early diagnosis and micro / non-invasive treatment. Strengthen the research and development of innovative medical devices, promote the quality improvement of medical devices, reduce import dependence and reduce medical costs. On December 31, 2020, the Health Commission issued the announcement on adjusting some contents of the classification catalogue of medical devices, in which the optical / electronic endoscope was adjusted from management level III to management level II.
The state will reduce the management level of endoscopes, support domestic substitution for imports, and support domestic medical device enterprises. In the future, more enterprises will enter the field of endoscopes. While promoting the development of the industry, production enterprises will also face peer competition challenges. Under the condition of equal technology and price, building characteristic functional products may be the magic weapon to win the final victory in the sand rush.
