Present
status
and
problems
of
domestic
medical
instrument engineering. Biomedical Engineehng
In
recent
years
considerable
progress
has
been
achieved
in
domestic
medical
instrument
engineering.
Many
plants
and
scientific-research
organizations
of
machine-making
and
the
defense industry have changed their profile toward production of medical equipment.
However,
medical
equipment
often
meets
a
reluctant
market
because
of
funding
cuts
in
health
services.
Medical
organizations
often
cannot
satisfy
even
their
basic
requirements
for
diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Also, health service organizations tend to buy foreign rather
than domestic medical equipment because the former are easily available on the domestic market
and prices for both are comparable because of inflation.
The
transition
to
a
market
economy
in
Russia
has
had
substantial
impact
on
the
relations
between domestic manufactur- ers and consumers of medical devices. The spectrum and quality of
available
items
has
been
significantly
extended
in
recent
years.
It
should
be
also
noted
that
available
models
of
medical
devices
are
continuously
updated,
which
makes
them
sufficiently
competitive.
Representative
information
on
the
updating
dynamics
of
domestic
medical
equipment
is
summarized
in
Table
1.
The
data
were
provided
by
the
VNIIMP-VITA
Joint-Stock
Company,
which compiles a data bank of such information.
Generally,
new
items
account
for
37%
of
total
production
of
medical
devices.
Routinely
produced
devices
(duration
of
production,
2-5
years)
account
for
28%.
Medical
devices
of
long-term production (5-10 years) account for 17% and obsolete nomenclature (devices produced
for more than 10 years) accounts for 18%.
It
is
seen
from
Table
1
that
in
recent
years
there
has
been
considerable
progress
in
the
updating
of
production
of
medical
equipment.
