Domestic Ventilator Pricing "One Day, One Sample" Producer Orders "Burst" To August

"We receive hundreds of phone calls for breathing machines every day, and the hotlines have been exploded, but the goods have been discharged until August, and now no new ones have been received." A ventilator manufacturer in East China told the economic news reporters twenty-first Century. Another North China ventilator manufacturer also said that there was no spot, and the downstream customers needed the product to be scheduled.

Overseas epidemic continues to spread and demand for ventilators has skyrocketed. Domestic ventilators have become "hot commodities". In case of shortage of supply, the price of ventilator is soaring. At present, the domestic head invasive ventilator manufacturers are mainly Yi An medical care and MINDRAY medical treatment. It is understood that the two invasive ventilator produced by both companies are noninvasive. Fish diving medical treatment is a non-invasive ventilator leading enterprise. The market prices of different types of ventilators are also different.

Price "one day, one sample".

At present, medical ventilator is generally divided into two categories: invasive ventilator and non-invasive ventilator. Invasive ventilator is mainly used for the treatment of unconscious patients with severe respiratory failure, and non-invasive ventilator is aimed at high risk respiratory failure patients with respiratory consciousness.

The core technology determines the "grade" of ventilators. In view of the medical invasive ventilator, generally speaking, the middle and high grade ventilator uses air compressor to supply gas, the chip technology level is high, the core algorithm is reliable, and the low-grade invasive ventilator turbine has gas supply and the chip technology level is low. The price of high-end invasive ventilator is about 35-40 yuan, the median price is about 20-25 yuan, and the low price is below 150 thousand.

The domestic respirator can only meet the needs of the low-end market, and the high-end products are mainly foreign products. At present, foreign companies such as Mai Ke Wei, Delger and ha Mei ton are outstanding high-end ventilators, and the leading companies in domestic enterprises are MINDRAY medical, Pu Bo technology and Reed. Like ECMO, the most sophisticated and expensive product of the invasive ventilator, most of the market in the world is occupied by three overseas companies, including Michael cove, Medtronic and lino. Only Tianjin, a small medical device manufacturer, can manufacture ECMO. The price range of domestic ECMO equipment ranges from 1 million yuan to 3 million yuan, the average price is 1 million 650 thousand yuan, and the mobile ECMO price is about 3 million yuan / Taiwan.

"Before the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the price of ventilator has been relatively stable, only a small range of fluctuations." Some industry insiders told reporters on twenty-first Century economic report.

Dongxing Securities Research Report shows that in 2013, the average price of medical ventilator in China was 96 thousand and 200, while the average unit price of high-end medical ventilator was 332 thousand and 100. By 2018, the average price of medical ventilator in China was 98 thousand and 200, while the average price of high-end medical ventilator was 357 thousand and 900. Whether it is low-end medical ventilator or high-end medical ventilator, the increase is not large, and the low end products are affected by the homogenization of technology and the deterioration of competition pattern. In recent years, prices have even declined.

But at present, affected by the epidemic, the United States and Germany, Britain, France, Italy, the total number of existing respirators is about 210 thousand, and the global demand gap is about 900 thousand. Overseas epidemic continues to spread and demand for ventilators has skyrocketed. Domestic ventilators have become "hot commodities" and prices soar.

"The current respirator may be in the morning, and the price will increase at about 30% to 80% in the afternoon." A ventilator dealer told the economic news reporters twenty-first Century, "ventilator prices range from 100 thousand to 500 thousand. Starting from two weeks ago, the price of ventilator jumped. A large part of the reason is that foreign orders are hand in hand, with hundreds of units at hand. The average factory capacity is not so high, and the supply is in short supply.

In addition to the rising cost of upstream components and the rising cost of international flights, the demand for ventilator is also "one day, one day".

A ventilator manufacturer said that the price of a ventilator could even increase by tens of thousands in one hour. The most important reason is that repeated repeated inquiries drive up the price of ventilator. Although many people are consulted, there may be only one real buyer in the end. The head of the fishing jump also said that the original ten thousand or twenty thousand of the ventilator was even fired to seventy thousand or eighty thousand.

Many ventilators also began to curb scalping. Yi An medical clinic issued a statement saying that once the employees were found to be involved in the increase in price, they should be dealt with seriously and dealt with severely. Dealers who found malicious reselling of Yi An products once verified the contract and cancelled the supply. Fish jump also said that it would try to identify the roasted people, and would ask the buyer carefully before shipment.

And overseas market may be competitive because of the shortage of ventilators. Earlier, the governor of New York once said that New York is now in a bid competition with other states and the federal government to fight for breathing machines. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's bid is among the best, and the bidding war makes the efficiency of purchasing ventilators very low. As of March 31st, New York has ordered 17 thousand ventilators from China, 25 thousand dollars per unit (about 180 thousand yuan).

Market access is the "threshold".

However, the export of domestic ventilators to overseas must also cross the threshold of market access.

First of all, domestic respirators should meet export standards. Medical ventilators are classified into three kinds of medical devices, which are the highest level medical devices and medical devices that must be strictly controlled. The regulations on the certification of export and sale of medical device products have already obtained the registration certificate and production license of medical device products in China, or the record and production record of medical devices have been processed. The drug regulatory authorities may issue the certificate of export sales for medical devices products for the relevant production enterprises.

Domestic ventilators need to obtain corresponding overseas market access certificates if they want to export overseas. For example, the United States requires FDA, Europe requires CE, but there are not many manufacturers that meet the standards in China, and obtaining these certificates also takes time. Xu Kemin, director of the industrial policy and regulation department of the Ministry of industry and commerce, said at a news conference in March 30th that there were 21 manufacturers of ventilators in China, of which 8 of the main products were EU compulsory CE certification.

Prior to that, the head of Fish Diving Medical Center stressed that if people who sell the ventilator are not familiar with the import rules of overseas products, it is almost impossible to achieve export. Even if the export is processed, it will be detained by the customs of the other country.

? ? ? Recently, in order to strictly control the export quality of anti epidemic materials, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of customs and the State Administration of drugs issued a notice on the orderly export of medical materials. From April 1st onwards, enterprises that export new coronavirus test reagents, medical masks, medical protective clothing, respirators and infrared thermometers must submit written or electronic statements when declaring customs to the customs. Nuo export products have obtained the quality standard requirements of China's medical device registration certificate. The customs shall examine and release the medical device product registration certificate approved by the drug supervision and administration department. The export quality supervision measures of these medical materials will be dynamically adjusted according to the development of the epidemic situation.
