A long-distance campaign for the quality of medical devices was launched in Beijing a few days ago. This is the first time that my country has carried out such an activity on the quality of medical devices.

Tong Min, director of the Medical Device Supervision Department of the State Food and Drug Administration, said at the launching ceremony that in 2013, no major quality incidents occurred in the field of medical devices, but there are still many difficulties and weak links in the current supervision work, such as laws and regulations. The institutional system needs to be improved urgently, the supervision capacity needs to be improved urgently, the level of technical support needs to be improved urgently, and the construction of supervision informatization needs to be strengthened urgently. He hopes to establish a three-dimensional social co-governance supervision pattern through the participation of relevant departments, industry organizations, experts and scholars, media reporters and consumers, "early detection, early disposal".

Tong Min's Medical Device Supervision Department was established in 2013, precisely to strengthen the supervision of medical devices.

According to reports, the 10,000-mile trip will focus on 8 provinces and cities where my country's medical device companies are concentrated, exposing violations of laws and regulations, and discovering problems in the industry.
