UBS: China medical device industry and domestic demand strong

1. China medical device industry high growth

Chinese medical device industry is a fast-growing new industries, including medical equipment, consumables and reagents.

Since 2001, medical devices already recorded 29% average annual growth rate of the compound. UBS is expected in 2008 China medical device market overall size is about 1,000 billion yuan (ex-factory price calculation). This is a global medical device market accounted for about 5%. Global medical device market worth about us $ 3,000 billion, in recent years, the growth rate of 10%.

China medical institutions instruments overall standard is relatively low.

In addition, in the different regions and health care institutions, medical equipment distribution is uneven, with a large number of equipment mainly concentrated in large urban hospitals. Rural hospitals and health centres in urban communities exist the shortage of medical equipment. Health care reform is designed to address these issues, and trends is the increase in rural and urban community health service centers.

2. from the Medicare reform of two large growth momentum

The Chinese Government has announced in 2009 to 2011, Central and local government in healthcare investment 8,500 billion RMB.

According to the Ministry of finance news about 5,600 billion RMB for expansion of medical insurance, 2,900 billion RMB for the hospital.

UBS believes that health insurance reform to the medical device industry has played the role of help will be more than the pharmaceutical industry, the medical equipment industry not only benefit from health insurance coverage and seeking ways to improve lead to increased demand for health care, and also benefit from the Government on the basis of the level in the near future hospital purchase of medical equipment.

UBS is expected in the next few years the medical equipment industry will grow by 20% to 25%, higher than the UBS forecast pharmaceutical industry growth of 15% to 20%.

Due to the expansion of Medicare reform, UBS expected public medical insurance will be in 2020 onwards practiced, and seeking ways to improve is expected to stimulate consumption and demand for healthcare.

UBS expects the demand for medical equipment will increase accordingly.

Based on past experience as a guide, UBS thinks 2,900 billion yuan of one third, i.e. nearly 1,000 billion yuan may be used for the base level of hospital (county hospitals, rural health centres and town community health centres) medical equipment procurement (the remaining two thirds are used for construction).

In the ideal case envisaged UBS, UBS is expected to total government expenditure for new 8,500 billion RMB.

However, UBS thinks assumptions which 60% is used to add new investment is reasonable. Therefore, UBS is expected for 2009-2011 the Government medical equipment purchase amount will increase 600 to 1,000 billion yuan. In the basic case envisaged by UBS, the new investment of 600 million Yuan, UBS expected medical equipment industry in 2009-2011 will be 20% growth per year, ideal case scenarios for the growth of 25% per year.

3. local enterprises are the main beneficiaries of the

UBS pointed out that the local enterprise are the main beneficiaries.

The line that most of the medical device manufacturers will benefit from health insurance expansion and go to the hospital. However local focus in the low-end market enterprises will also cost advantages and extra because they benefit from government procurement plan for three years.

UBS expects small equipment manufacturers will be the first beneficiaries, once the device configuration upgrades and a corresponding increase in the number of hospital for medical treatment, after the beneficiaries for consumables and reagents manufacturer.

According to the different level hospital instruments lower standards, UBS is expected to purchase major medical device type is patient monitors, x-ray equipment and ultrasound equipment.

UBS believes that government procurement based on the principle of the level of medical equipment is bottom, from rural health centres to the County Hospital, and then to the provincial hospital.

UBS believes that the end of 2008 the amount of government procurement has already begun to increase, and in the first quarter of 2009 has grown significantly. UBS expects the second half of 2009 will have more growth, and procurement will gradually shift from care centre County Hospital.

Medical technology innovation: Europe and Asia have the opportunity to lead

Current Imaging is a global medical technology market share of the largest areas; the MedTech 2020 report pointed out that Asian countries would transcend the technical areas in Europe and won the leadership position.

But in any case, the medical technology will continue to lead innovation, one of the most active is long-distance medical (telemedicine) technologies; in this context, the European leader in North America, the Asian States is hot pursuit.

As the field of continuing care, will hasten the digitization of other innovative technologies and new applications, such as regenerative medicine (regenerative medicine), corrections and plastic technology (prosthetics) as well as active implantable devices (active implants) and so on.

As regards including lab on a chip (lab-on-a-chip), in vitro diagnosis (in-vitro diagnostics) technology, the United States will lag behind the European, Asia has made progress in space. Other areas with growth potential, including minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy equipment.

Medical innovation power in the field of science and technology, many of which computer technology is clearly the most important role to play; information and communication technology, microelectronics and materials science, optical technology and the importance of secondary.

Germany Center for cancer research (German cancer research center, DKFZ) in medical physics department supervisor Wolfgang Schlegel intended, these medical technology innovation will further breakdown of the medical industry value chain.

For example, a computer simulation of the treatment, planning and optimization, will be between diagnostic and treatment procedures to create additional links; so the treatment will be minimally invasive surgery of innovation, as well as the Proton, heavy ion radiation and other new radiotherapy and improved.

In addition distance medical technology will significantly expand the industrial value chain.

A simple movement, feeling of irritation, and listen to the sounds and see the checkerboard. The patient simply follow the doctor's advice to complete these experiments, magnetoencephalography you can find the corresponding function in the brain. The entire inspection harmless to the human body, nor does it have a special feeling of discomfort. Magnetoencephalography like a quiet observer, faithfully records at any one of the brain of patients with minor changes to electromagnetic.

Advantages compare

Non-invasive, on early epileptic foci of more accurate

Xuanwu hospital magnetoencephalography unit's Sun Wei said, magnetoencephalography currently mainly used for epilepsy foci of positioning and preoperative assessment.

The traditional method is through EEG with nuclear magnetic and placement of intracranial electrodes, and the method for locating, magnetoencephalography as human non-invasive brain function examination of new technologies that can significantly improve the positioning accuracy of epileptic foci.

Meg and EEG, brain wave attenuation, when radiation from the skull is probably decay into nothing.

By Meg does not decay, magnetoencephalography Meg through records and EEG changes, determine the side don't epileptic foci and location.

Before another checking method is electrohippocampogram, trauma, cranial placement of intracranial electrodes, and intracranial electrodes expensive.

Of course, magnetoencephalography also has limitations, because the machines are expensive, it is not possible to open too long time to record the brain during magnetic phenomena. Only through the interval of the phenomenon of the brain. Magnetoencephalography and nuclear magnetic resonance, if patients wear metal objects, do nuclear magnetic may hurt, but MEG does.

Magnetoencephalography may also apply to other brain surgery before the positioning of the Ribbon.

The focus in the vicinity of feeling, hearing, Visual, and brain function area for accurate positioning, and help to determine the operation plan, preserve brain function area, reducing complications, shorter hospital stay.

Programmable analog array and EMG signal acquisition and application of

Introduction

In biological signal acquisition, signal amplitude as a result of the measured object, different kinds of biological potential of the spectrum, the different muscle groups as well as skin electrodes coupling, and other factors vary, so typically you need depending on the measured object adjustment analog front-end amplifiers magnification and bandwidth.

Implementation of such regulation of one possible option is to use programmable analog array (FPAA), through the use of programmable analog array implements a RMS-DC converters or to zoom in on EMG (electromyography) signal digital and microprocessor processing RMS values. FPAA let all analog circuit required in a programmable component implementation, it ensures greater flexibility and reliability of the system, and reduce the size of the circuit and reduce costs.

The EMG signal processing, a front-end using analog circuit complete benefits is that the EMG signal collection rates range from 10 μ v to 1 mV, these signals need to zoom to 60-100dB, therefore, the use of a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) integrated instrumentation amplifier can minimize the impact of common mode interference.

Filter level using analog circuit, when the band frequency needs further decay time, usually the second or fourth-order low-pass and high pass filter.

This article describes the use of EMG signals Anadigm FPAA on for collection and disposal of circuit design, the analog signal processing project purpose is to obtain from EMG signal sufficient biological characteristics, to control such as artificial limbs or electric Stimulator for external devices.

Characteristics of FPAA

As programmable gate array (FPGA) is a digital circuit design change, FPAA to analog circuit design introduces a convenient prototyping methods and reducing design time.

In FPAA most important unit is configurable analog modules (CAB), which subtly to deal with a variety of signals and the routed network. FPAA is a can be programming and again programming integrated circuit, analog circuit function can perform routing-end adjustments. Circuit configuration files from the PC, system controller or incidental EEPROM download-FPAA, resulting in functional integrity of the circuit. The circuit configuration variable at any time, for a completed feature configuration can be changed in the new download or real-time upgrade to reconfigure.

Based on a switched-capacitor technology by Anadigm AN221E04 FPAA have configurable properties of a number of CAB, and can be programmed to perform different functions, such as filter, amplifier, multiplier, comparator, and other features.

These features can be used in a biological signal acquisition and processing. In addition, FPAA interrupted the CMRR amplifier is 102dB, thus bringing the common mode interference signal and power cables jamming 60Hz.

Circuit description

Circuit realization use AnadigmDesigner 2 software, which includes circuit simulator and a programmable devices, use the AN220D04 evaluation board serial interface on the work test.

Battery evaluation board using optical interface is connected to a computer to ensure patient safety.

The system of the block diagram shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 for EMG signal acquisition and processing system block diagram

For EMG signal acquisition

Through the acquisition of the surface electrode EMG signal amplitude in 10 μ v to 1 mV range, however, the common mode signal (interference) may be as high as a few volts.

Researchers had previously recommended several technologies to FPAA and other analog circuit interface, however, they are not suitable for biological potential of the acquisition, therefore, researchers presented a new configuration, where the reference electrodes are connected to the reference pin FPAA (VMRR), while the active electrode is directly connected to the intermittent input.

Intermittent amplifier is used to zoom in with the DC component, very small and very low frequency signal, the signal from amplifier bias.

For EMG, 10Hz following it has negligible, however, it is provided by FPAA analog front-end options provide better acquisition results.

The source of interference is minimized through the use of masking technique, use a shorter cable, prevent ground loops, in electrode area ready to be logging the skin as well as using Paste Ag-AgCl electrode.

These measures allow for the acquisition of sufficient signal to noise ratio, the simulation domain for continuous signal processing.

Analog signal filtering

EMG signal bandwidth is defined as from 50 Hz to 350 Hz.

As a design option, you can use the low order filter configured to signal to noise ratio in enough to capture the EMG signal. This is the use of a second order Chebyshev band-pass filter and a bilinear filters, therefore, the low-frequency attenuation for every ten octaves higher than 20dB, on frequency attenuation of bandwidth every ten octaves 40dB.

Input level use is configured to have 64 intermittent amplifier gain.

The first filter level is the center frequency to 200Hz, 5 gain bandwidth 300Hz of band-pass filter; the second level is a cutoff frequency for 500Hz, gain 20 low-pass filter. Signal conditioning circuits total gain to 6400 (76dB). All parameters can be reconfigured at any time.

Acquisition of transfer functions such as circuit equations 1 and 2, they represent the intermittent input level, biquadratic bandpass filter, lowpass filters with double linear transfer function.

Of these, GChop

Per is intermittent amplifier gain; GBP is a bandpass filter's gain; GLP is a low-pass filter gain; fBP is band-pass filter frequency; the center of the fLP is a low-pass filter cutoff frequency; Q is a bandpass filter quality factor.

As shown in Figure 2 as Equation 1 frequency response, the drawing is to use the signal generator (HP 33120A) access, and in 2 software AnadigmDesigner simulation drawn from Matlab.

Visible from the figure, the theory and experimental results similar to the difference between the derived from experimental error or FPAA circuit of tolerance. The simulation also demonstrated FPAA development tools is reliable.

Figure 2 frequency response map: solid as Matlab simulation results; (□) cable to the simulation and experimental AnadigmDesigner 2 results

RMS value of

RMS value of certainty is done using classic topology.

Multiplication and square root extraction is the use of the CAB FPAA. Outside of a RC was used as a first order filter, is directly connected to the FPAA difference output and once again injected into the same FPAA, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 using analog circuit produces RMS value of classic topology

Use from volunteers of the biceps acquisition of EMG signals as well as using Paste Ag-AgCl electrode so that with low ripple RMS signal, at the same time, ensure that the response time of the circuit, as shown in Figure 4.

RC in the experiment can be regulated, the final value is R = 220 k and C = 470 nF, defined cutoff frequency for 1.5Hz.

Figure 4 RMS value (Channel 2: 500 mV/div) and the biceps signal (Channel 1: 1 V/div)

Analog signal processing last level by trigger pulses in comparators circuit or – when the EMG RMS level adjusted set point threshold — to control external devices switch control circuit.

FPAA circuit has a variable reference the comparer to perform this function, and the reference voltage as sensitivity thresholds.

Complete electric circuit as shown in Figure 5.

In Figure 5 on the top right corner of the output 3 and 4 correspond to the amplifier and filter the square of EMG signals, while the lower-right corner of the output 7 and 8 corresponds to the analog signal processing after EMG signal RMS.

Figure 5 is used to capture the complete EMG signal FPAA circuit

FPAA circuit (AN221E04) high common-mode rejection ratio allows for high common-mode noise suppression capabilities for very small amounts of biological EMF (10 μ μ v to 500 V) acquisition.

Next, by using interference minimization techniques produce low-noise signal, the signal can be enough quality to be used as a prosthetics or electrical stimulation for the control signal.

The above examples, programmable analog array has the flexibility to modify the characteristics of analog circuits, such as the use of software to modify the filter cutoff frequency, gain, reference voltage and can be modified during the work of the circuit, therefore, FPAA will help quickly and reliably achieve medical electronic systems design analog front-end prototype.

Programmability of the development trend

Large-scale field-programmable analog array (FPAA) in simulation area has great potential for development.

Industry experts said that the benefits of FPAA is: 1. Simulation of pretreatment can alleviate A/D converter existing bottlenecks and reduce DSP operations after the level of burden; 2. FPAA has significant potential to reduce small analog circuit design prototype creation time, to meet the requirements of large arrays, which can be one of the most comprehensive instrument simulation applications or even provide adequate performance; 3. Compared with the DSP programmes, the main advantage of FPAA is the entire power consumption than FPAA single ADC module also low; 4. compared with the full custom ASIC's main advantage is the flexibility and faster design, development and deployment cycle.

However, this technique also need FPAA continue to solve many problems.

For example, due to the alignment and switch increases the noise limits the analog circuit performance, and reduce the signal to noise ratio. However, industry experts think, FPAA technology over time and become more mature, and hopefully bring a simulation design revolution. At present, companies such as Anadigm and Lattice programmable analog array is available.

In addition, TI and linglier principal companies based on a spreadsheet of filter design program.

Currently, the available online analog filter design program with the United States national power filter design tools (Active Filter Designer), with the help of this tool is a convenient way for Bezier, Bart, Chebyshev or Gaussian filter properties to select high-pass or low pass filter parameters, these programmable analog application design tool, but also will provide medical electronic systems design of analog front end provides greater flexibility.

Portable insulin pump system design strategies (1)

Insulin pump is a portable medical equipment, in the United States, its design and manufacture of the United States food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the regulation.

This means: its design and construction must follow the exact requirements of the process; its performance must meet strict document management, development, testing, production, testing and onsite maintenance requirements. As shown in Figure 1, you must also include comprehensive self test and fault display function, and thus require additional circuits as well as the use of a self-inspection function of the device.

Portability

Insulin pump is worn by the device, therefore, must be very small and light (Figure 2).

Its volume is usually about 2 × 3 × 0.75 (5.7 × 7.6 × 1.9 cm), weight of 2 and 4 ounces (57 g and 113 grams). The overall requirements designers, in the select a device, it will give priority to their size and power consumption.

Figure 1: functional block diagram for insulin pump system; Maxim provides the blue part of the solution.

To save space, the system designers need highly integrated programmes and a very small package, such as: chip scale package (such as us-letter UCSP package) and wafer level packaging (WLP).

In order to make the battery size as small as possible, the designers need to minimize energy consumption and increase efficiency. If possible, turn off those at any given time without the use of the circuit, then to the power supply.

The system's core is a highly integrated low standby power consumption microcontrollers — such as us-letter MAXQ2010, or other similar micro-controller manufacturer.

16-bit microcontrollers MAXQ2010, when working in 1MHz and 2.7V, power consumption of only 1mA, stop mode power consumption of only 370nA. This low-power characteristics on the extension of the insulin pump work life inside the battery is crucial. As with most micro-controller, USART, MAX2010 including timer, 64kB Flash-based program memory, some common i/o 2kBRAM, lead, with a reference voltage of 312.5k sample/sec 12-bit successive approximation ADC, 160 segment LCD controller and other resources. It can also be quickly from sleep and wake up, stop mode so that insulin pump can provide better, faster service user needs.

ISuppli: Chinese medical electronics industry is extremely robust growth

Government incentives to promote the industry in 2013 continues expansion

According to iSuppli Corporation, the Chinese Government's massive investment in the healthcare industry, from 2009 to 2013 for the medical electronics equipment sales grow strongly.

2009 China medical electronics sales will increase 18.2% from 33 billion in 2008 increased to 39 billion.

The next few years will maintain this momentum, the compound annual growth rate will reach 21% 2013 rising to 86 million.

China April release of the health system reform to Central and local Government to the medical industry investment 8500 billion (approximately US $ 1241).

According to China's Ministry of finance, including about 818 million will be used to expand the social health insurance, the remaining 423 billion will be used to subsidize the hospital reform.

Social health insurance coverage, as well as diagnosis and treatment of conditions improve, it is expected that the demand for medical services will increase.

This will lead to Government medical equipment procurement for sustained growth, used equipment junior hospital.

UBS (UBS) investment sector estimates that one-third of the hospital benefits, equivalent to 141 million, will be used for junior hospital purchase of new medical equipment.

Even if the implementation of this policy, this lag 141 billion will promote the medical device industry 20% growth per year. It can be expected in the next three years in the medical electronics market annual growth rate of more than 25%.

In addition, for the medical electronics industry innovative research and development activities of 4 billion yuan (about 5839 billion) investment in China's economic stimulus plan.

In 2008, in China's overall medical electronics market, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray and CT systems, imaging devices around 8.61 billion, accounting for 26.1%, is the largest single share.

Consumer medical electronic devices, mainly blood and other portable devices, there are many medical electronic equipment manufacturers of business focus.

In 2008, the operating income of $ 1.54 billion. Patient monitor sales will in the coming year remain strong growth in 2008-2013 of the compound annual growth rate will reach 18.5%.

Due to the technology and the investment threshold is high, complex high-end medical electronic systems consist of a large international manufacturers in occupies.

China's domestic medical electronics industry from small start-up companies, must be committed to outsourcing services, or you must be its international counterparts to narrow and Lite. The following dynamic strengthened the trend: the market focus is shifted from the big city and the third line of the second line, these areas to cities afford a middle medical electronic devices.

This dynamic in turn stimulate the portable electronic medical equipment sales.

Due to the portable device focused on individual customers and small medical institutions, function and accuracy requirements are lower, but need more flexibility. Therefore, these portable devices of small dimensions, low weight and low power consumption make it very popular.

It is like a small hospital laboratory. Just take the patient a drop of blood, saliva or urine sample, drops, such as the phone back cover within the chip, a short time can be measured in patients with CD4 cell count, T lymphocyte counts, so as to determine whether the patient is HIV (HIV) infection.

It is reported that the phone uses the super wide angle lens-free cell detection order platform technology (LUCAS), its use of Ultrashort Blu-ray irradiated samples (such as blood, saliva samples) to make cell count interpretation.

Phone with a computer chip, in a very short time to get test results. This mobile phone-type testing machine can be used to detect such as malaria (judging by RBC readings), AIDS (by CD4 cells, T lymphocyte readings and other testing results judging) and women pregnancy and many other uses.

Sony-Ericsson technology officer said, as long as the increase in the cost of $ 50 will be a regular mobile phone for type testing machine.

This new mobile phone on rural doctors and the majority of patients have a strong practical use value.

May at any time to monitor heart mobile phone

United States many thousands of patients with coronary heart disease, coronary heart disease patients most afraid of is a stay at home when sudden cardiac infarction, because there is no help and delayed medical treatment.

To resolve this issue, the United States horse Wurzburg University medical device development centre of scientific and technological personnel think cell phones. They are ordinary mobile phone with an electronic device of Riga, the mobile phone named as "smart phone" (Smart Cell Phone). Will this modified cell phone on my chest, in patients with coronary heart disease is readily monitor patient's heartbeat. Once the heartbeat signal exception occurred is mobile monitoring to proactively set in the phone's alarm will emit a beep signal, so the first time informed the community hospital doctor, the medical personnel arrive home for emergency patients. This mobile phone has been in the United States market, and has promoted the use in California. The results showed that the purchase and use of smart phones, mortality in patients with coronary heart disease decreased by 60 percent.

Smart phone market is very welcome in patients with coronary heart disease.

Affected by this encouraged by United States horse Wurzburg University researchers are developing a second-generation direct transfer of new mobile diagnostic images. According to the researchers, the University is developing a new cell phone through conductors and b-machine-phase connection and which image is sent to the distant Medical Center. Medical Center of experts in on cell phone send to image interpretation after diagnosis of the disease situation and feedback to local doctors. It can transport Diagnostics new mobile future images will have broad market prospects.

Cell phone make up diagnostic instruments

According to the World Health Organization published a report on the global about 75 per cent of those who have never trained x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, PET and other modern electronic diagnostic equipment checks.

Many developing countries people as not done x-ray, even got tuberculosis is unknown until the symptoms get worse before they get medical treatment. On the other hand, some developing countries hospital in purchasing these electronic diagnostic equipment took big price when, in order to recover the costs and fees for the diagnosis of references to very high, which in turn affects low income patients do equipment diagnosis.
