   Medical device standards run through all aspects of the life cycle of medical device management activities, which is crucial to keep the bottom line to ensure safety, and pursue high line to promote development. In recent years, State Drug Administration has continuously deepened the reform and innovation of medical device standardization, constantly improved the standardization system of medical devices, scientifically formulated the work plan for standardization of medical devices, further promoted the plan of standardization of medical devices, unceasingly bettered standardization of organization system, and incessantly strengthened the international exchange and cooperation on standardization of medical devices, which has strongly supported the supervision of medical devices and the development of the industry. Up to now, the total of China's current medical device standards is 1835, of which there are 233 national standards, 1602 industry standards, 393 mandatory standards and 1442 recommended standards, basically covering all professional technical fields of medical devices; At the same time, the recognition of international standards project by international medical device regulatory is unanimously recognized by all IMDRF members so that the conversion rate of China's medical device standards international standard is more than 90%. In August this year, the first international standard project for epidemic prevention and control medical devices proposed and completed by our country, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 2-90: Special Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance of High Flow Respiratory Therapy Equipment, was released by the International Organization for Standardization and the official website of the International Electrotechnical Commission.  

  In October this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline for the Development of National Standardization, which makes strategic deployment for the development of national standardization.  In March this year, State Drug Administration, together with the State Standards Commission, issued the Opinions on Further Promoting the High-Quality Development of Medical Device Standardization, which clearly defined the development goals and programmatic requirements of medical device standardization in the new development stage. In order to implement the development and deployment of medical devices standardization and promote the high-quality development of the industry, the head of the Device Registration Department of State Drug Administration said that in face of the new situation and tasks in the new stage of development, the standardization of medical devices must have new initiatives to achieve new breakthroughs. First, we should implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on the reform of standardization work, do a good job in the top-level design of medical device standardization work, and constantly improve the standard management system and working mechanism of medical equipment. Second, we should better lead the high-quality development of the medical device industry, focus on new technologies, new materials and new products, further promote the reform of standardization of medical devices, strengthen standard research in key areas, and promote industrial optimization and upgrading. Third, we should better serve the high-quality development of medical device supervision, promote the deep integration of standardization work and scientific and technological innovation, and penetrate standardized concepts, standardized thinking and standardized methods into all aspects of the life cycle of medical devices. Fourth, we should form a situation of social co-governance in the standard field, and promote the formation of a standardized common governance pattern of medical devices with government supervision, business owners' responsibilities, industry self-discipline and social coordination. Fifth, we should deepen international exchanges and cooperation on medical device standards, actively transform international standards for medical devices suitable for china, and provide China's program for the standardized development of medical devices worldwide.
