Classification of medical equipment

There are three categories of medical equipment, namely diagnostic equipment, therapeutic equipment and auxiliary equipment.

1. Diagnostic equipment can be divided into eight categories: X-ray diagnostic equipment, ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, functional examination equipment, endoscopic equipment, nuclear medicine equipment, experimental diagnostic equipment and pathological diagnostic equipment.

Second, the treatment equipment can be divided into 10 categories: ward nursing equipment (sickbed, cart, oxygen bottle, gastric lavage machine, needle-free syringe, etc.). ); Surgical equipment (operating table, lighting equipment, surgical instruments and various tables, racks, stools, cabinets, and microsurgical equipment); Radiotherapy equipment (contact therapy machine, shallow therapy machine, deep therapy machine, accelerator, 60 cobalt therapy machine, radium or 137 cesium intracavity therapy and afterloading device therapy, etc.). ); Nuclear medical treatment equipment-treatment methods include internal irradiation therapy, application therapy and colloid therapy; Physical and chemical equipment (generally divided into phototherapy business, electrotherapy equipment, ultrasonic treatment, sulfur treatment equipment); Laser equipment-medical laser generator (commonly used are ruby laser, He-Ne laser, carbon dioxide laser, argon ion laser, YAG laser, etc. ); Dialysis treatment equipment (commonly used artificial kidneys include flat artificial kidneys and tubular artificial kidneys); Body temperature freezing equipment (semiconductor cold knife, gas cold knife, solid cold knife, etc.). ); First aid equipment (defibrillation pacing equipment, artificial respiration machine, ultrasonic atomizer, etc.). ); Other therapeutic equipment (hyperbaric oxygen chamber, high-frequency electro-chromic instrument for ophthalmology, electromagnetic iron absorber, vitreous cutter, blood separator for adults, etc.). ). These all belong to special treatment equipment of various disciplines, and can be classified into one category separately when necessary.

Third, auxiliary equipment can be divided into the following categories: disinfection and sterilization equipment, refrigeration equipment, central suction oxygen supply system, air conditioning equipment, pharmaceutical machinery equipment, blood bank equipment, medical data processing equipment, medical video photography equipment, etc.

Medical instruments

Medical devices in hospitals can be divided into three categories, namely, diagnosis and treatment, and the classification of necessary medical devices according to different requirements.

A, diagnostic equipment can be divided into the following categories:

Physical diagnostic instruments (thermometer, sphygmomanometer, microscope, audiometer, various physiological recorders, etc.). ), imaging instruments (X-ray machine, CT scan, magnetic vibration, B-ultrasound, etc. ), analytical instruments (all kinds of counting instruments, biochemical and immunoassay instruments, etc. ), as well as electrophysiology (such as ECG, EEG, EMG, etc. ).

Second, processing equipment can be divided into the following categories:

General surgical instruments, photoconductive surgical instruments (fiberscope, laser therapy machine, etc.). ); Auxiliary surgical instruments (such as anesthesia machines, ventilators, cardiopulmonary bypass, etc.). ); Radiotherapy machinery (such as deep X-ray therapy machine, cobalt 60 therapy machine, accelerator, gamma knife, various isotope therapy devices, etc.). ); Other categories (microwave, hyperbaric oxygen, etc. ).

Three, the hospital essential medical equipment level requirements can be divided into three categories:

Category I, II and III. That is, the first category refers to medical devices that can ensure their safety and effectiveness through routine management; The second category refers to medical devices whose safety and effectiveness should be controlled; The third category refers to being implanted into the human body to support and maintain life; Medical devices that are potentially dangerous to the human body and whose safety and effectiveness must be strictly controlled.

It is worth noting that if a medical device contains Class I and Class II, then the medical device is Class II. If a medical device contains two types and three types, then the medical device belongs to three types. By analogy, everyone can come to the same conclusion.

With the development of electronic technology, all kinds of simple household medical equipment, such as thermometers, stethoscopes, sphygmomanometers, etc., have entered the market one after another.
