Predicament of Primary clinical unit
By the end of February 2019, the number of national medical and health institutions had reached 999000, including 921000 primary clinical units , about 92.2% of all medical and health institutions in china, these small medical institutions have big gap between big hospitals in medical treatment.
1 big number but distribution dispersion,Primary care units cover most countries.
2 shortage of medical technicians, there are 46 medical technicians in very 10000 people in countries, just 45% in city level.
3 lack of patient,all primary care units afford 53% workload in china, daily workload is 9.3 patients per day. District medical center is 16.1 patients per day,Besides that, lack of medical device,treatment limited , loss of technicians, low income of this units are indirect reason for thereality .
Present status of Primary clinical unit
Refer to IVD product, Primary care units need IVD product could match the requirement such as small size, test fast, low cost, manually but not very low sensitivity,that could not as same as in level 3 hospitals, small workload, large package make the cost very high,not very much brand wants to focus this clinical units, some domestic brand use small package to save cost,but lack of items in these brand is any other problem.
All in all, refer to hard condition, cost of operation and maintenance, lack of item for clinical used, that limited the treatment of primary care units.
Single used cartridge of immunoassay system for Primary care units
Comparison with traditional POCT system , Single used cartridge of immunoassay system gets better performance in sensitivity ,linearity range, repeatability and so on.
Single used cartridge designed no no limit on the validity period of bottle opening to save cost, one device could run one more items in same time, not matter for routine test but for emergency.
Whole blood mode is more popular and convenience in primary care units, easy to maintenance, fit for present status .
More items for “only Graded but no relevant treatment”
Shortage of primary care test shows in treatment diagnosis and selection, single used cartridge of immunoassay system is a key to fix this shortage to help to improve capacity.
