Chapter 167 Other optical products quietly put on the shelves
While Huawei and Shenzu were in full swing, Suiren Technology and Chongmingniao Company also quietly launched several new products.
There are mainly five products: astronomical telescopes, confocal microscopes, compound eye optical lenses, SLR cameras, and electronic enteroscopes.
These are all developed by the optical technology R&D laboratory. I won’t go into details about the first four, but the electronic colonoscopy of the latter is widely used in the medical field.
A colonoscope is a slender, flexible, soft medical instrument with a rubber surface. It is a type of endoscope. However, with the development of electronic technology, colonoscopes are gradually becoming electronic and can record images of the intestines.
Transmitted on the electronic display screen to more clearly observe the conditions in the intestines.
Generally in the anorectal department, the doctor will take the colonoscope and enter it through the chrysanthemum. Through the bending and rotation of the colonoscope, the colonoscope gradually enters the intestinal tube so that it can clearly see the conditions inside the intestine.
However, pain may occur during this examination, and some patients with poor tolerance may not be able to undergo it. Therefore, many people will undergo painless colonoscopy under anesthesia.
However, the operation of colonoscopy is relatively complicated, and every step needs to be done carefully.
Although many patients are afraid of colonoscopy, it is an indispensable medical instrument for checking anorectal diseases.
Among them, Olympus, a small company, is the dominant player in the domestic market and has become the founder and promoter of the global digestive endoscopy field.
This is because their optical technology is developed, and the technology of the CCD sensor, the core component of early endoscopes, was monopolized by Xiaori.
There are also powerful image processing technologies, such as dual-focus amplification technology, narrow-band spectral imaging technology (NBI), etc., which are world-renowned, and the number of patented technologies is much larger than that of its peers.
Soft scope = the two core technologies of digestive endoscopy are the scope body and the image processor, both of which are indispensable.
At present, the most prominent domestic digestive endoscopy brand is Aohua. Through a steady and steady approach, it has accumulated a certain reputation and broke the long-term dependence on imports.
Of course, there are also domestic manufacturers such as Yiqiang who are willing to give in.
However, Olympus still has a serious monopoly in the domestic market, accounting for nearly 70% of the market share. The most important thing is Olympus' strong optical technology advantage.
Aohua still lags behind in this regard. But it is already catching up.
This time Suiren Technology came up with the Chongming avian enteroscope just to test the waters. The same goes for astronomical telescopes. Of course, we will talk about this later.
Tuocheng Third Hospital
This is a public second-class hospital. Although it is not as good as a third-class hospital, it has a good reputation.
Zhang Tianyuan (Director) of the Logistics Department is worrying about purchasing the latest batch of endoscopes for the hospital, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
In particular, colonoscopy is in relatively short supply, but the hospital's funds are limited and the imported Olympus is too expensive. There is definitely no way to purchase this, so we can only settle for Aohua's colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy is a necessary examination instrument in the anorectal department, and the brand name and its technical performance need to be fully considered.
In the past few years, their hospital has used Aohua's products, and the results are indeed good.
However, Aohua's current supply is insufficient, and coupled with overseas restrictions on domestic high-end optical lenses, the current environment is not very good.
Medical equipment in hospitals need to be regularly maintained and replaced every once in a while. Large or microscopic equipment needs to be repaired by company engineers. As for frequently used instruments such as colonoscopes, the sensitivity will decrease, and even some spare parts
It is aging, so it still needs to be replaced.
Zhang Tianyuan looked at the computer and saw that Aohua's appointments were already full, and they were basically booked by other major hospitals.
"Forget it, let's look at other domestic products and see if there are any new products recently released by the Food and Drug Administration."
So, he clicked on the official website of the Food and Drug Administration and began to browse the colonoscopy products that had recently been registered and approved.
"Well, Chongming Bird Company?"
Zhang Tianyuan suddenly noticed one of them.
I found that this company has recently launched a colonoscopy instrument. The lens is a self-developed medical honeycomb compound lens, and there are also core sensing and image processing components. These are clearly recorded in the filing.
"How come I haven't heard of this brand? Could it be a no-name brand?"
Zhang Tianyuan was confused, but a young doctor next to him suddenly said:
"Hey! Director, isn't this a company owned by Suiren Technology? How did their family enter the field of medical devices?"
"Suiren Technology?" Zhang Tianyuan was even more confused.
He seldom pays attention to the dynamics of Internet digital companies. What he browses every day is the news of famous medical or pharmaceutical companies or the academic papers of medical tycoons.
The young doctor explained to him: "Suiren Technology is a technology company that has become famous recently. It mainly produces semiconductor devices. I heard that it has recently entered the field of optical lenses. Chongmingniao is one of their companies. I didn't expect that they would also take control of it."
When it comes to medical care, the span is big enough!"
"How about the performance? Is it a no-name brand?"
Director Zhang asked, he is quite worried about this new enterprise that has just entered the endoscopy industry. After all, the requirements for medical equipment are very high. If the performance and price are not good, it will definitely not be used, which will not only increase the financial burden of the hospital.
, and may also cause certain potential harm to patients.
"The products of Suiren Technology are still guaranteed, but they are all based on semiconductor hardware. I heard that Huawei's new mobile phone lenses are supplied by them this time. They use brand-new compound eye lens technology. There should be no problem with the lens technology.
I don’t know much about image processing.”
After Zhang Tianyuan heard this, he thought about it and then said to the young doctor:
"Then you should contact this company quickly and purchase a few to try. If possible, we will purchase in bulk."
"Understood."
Some hospitals across the country have also noticed Chongmingniao’s colonoscopy, but most of them are second-class or even second-class or community hospitals. As for the third-class hospitals, they have their own arrogance, and the endoscopes they generally use will only cooperate with big brands.
.
It is rare to purchase from companies that are not well-known in this industry, and most hospitals have medical representatives stationed in them, especially those tertiary hospitals, who will actively promote their own company's pharmaceutical products to these large hospitals.
Strictly speaking, Chongmingniao Company is only a company that produces optical instruments, not a specialized pharmaceutical company. Its positioning is relatively comprehensive, so there is no pharmaceutical representative in the company. After releasing these optical products, they are only listed on the official website.
page, and did not find an advertising company to promote it.
Because now the whole company's energy is focused on high-end microscopes, especially cryo-electron microscopy.
Cryo-electron microscopy is now the main research direction of Chongmingniao Company. It has reached a cooperation with Suiren Science and Technology Materials Technology Research Institute to speed up the research progress as soon as possible.
Cryo-electron microscopy is not as simple to assemble as an astronomical telescope, and there are many key technical points that need to be broken through.
However, these released Chongmingniao optical products have also been noticed by some sharp-eyed netizens~
