Mainstream vendors incisive analysis of the China Medical electronic market (1)

The Chinese Government's plan by 2020 to urban and rural residents with safe, effective, convenient and low-cost, public health and healthcare services.

At the same time, the Chinese Government also launched the rural health care reform, significantly boosting the market for medical electronic equipment of domestic demand. This is China medical device manufacturers, is a huge opportunity. We invite to the current medical electronics market going in the top three vendors to provide our analysis of the China medical device market what the hottest products and their various needs what kind of component technologies.

In General, medical equipment for electronic components needs manifested in two ways: first, the pursuit of high performance results for the high performance simulated IC demand forever; on the other hand you are a home medical equipment on the costs and power consumption demand cause for high integration SoC needs to rise rapidly, some analog IC will integrate into a single chip.

Three types of medical equipment of different demands on components

At present, the Chinese Government's rural health care reform greatly stimulate the market for medical electronic equipment of domestic demand.

China's rural health clinics, medical institutions at all levels are rapidly increasing medical hardware investment, China medical device manufacturers, is a huge opportunity, because China medical device manufacturers and it is in the low-end market has greater competitiveness. However, while the China medical device manufacturers are still based in the low-end market, but the Chinese manufacturers are increasing investment to go in the high-end market, and to move closer to international standards. Like Shenzhen MINDRAY, Shenyang Neusoft, China's top medical device manufacturers gradually towards the world level.

We will be divided into three main categories of medical equipment, each of the requirements of the components.

The first type is imaging system class, this class of device including ultrasound, CT, x-ray and MRI equipment.

Subject to Chinese Government support, the Chinese manufacturers of such devices in the low-end market share is growing, and growing fast. This class of device performance is needed is very high, high price. TI product for this type of policy is for each custom dedicated high-performance chip. For example, for ultrasonic equipment market, TI launched integrated programmable gain amplifiers and high-speed ADC module and a unique package to meet the needs of the market. AFE5804 and AFE5805 is one up-to-date launched two popular chip. For CT equipment, it is a multi-channel, and front-end requires current signal amplifier. TI for this market with integrated multichannel ADC and front-end current signal amplifier chip.

The second category is small and medium-sized device class, such as medical monitoring, ECG and other equipment.

Such equipment market, the competitiveness of Chinese firms are gradually strengthened, such equipment is gradually moving towards family nature. This class of device types, styling is not the same, for component requirements are flexible choice.

The third type of equipment is a portable medical equipment, such as blood glucose, blood pressure meter, etc.

China manufacturers in this area has been completely self-developed products.

For two classes of products, later TI's policy is to much and all the devices to meet the customer's choice and flexibility.

For example, requirements for ECG multi-lead channel characteristics, TI's high precision, 16-channel ADC — ADS1258 is very popular. Also for the market launch of some dedicated devices, such as last year's a-amps — INA333. It is ideal for portable medical devices with low power consumption, and high common-mode rejection ratio as well as high-frequency interference characteristics. The product has been patented.

In the past few years, China medical device market grows very quickly, and will in the next few years to maintain rapid growth.
