In the modern medical field, precision machined parts for healthcare are like the "second pair of eyes" of doctors, being their indispensable and efficient assistants. It integrates cutting-edge technologies from multiple fields such as traditional optics, ergonomics, precision mechanics, modern electronics, mathematics, and software, and can penetrate into the body through natural or surgical incisions, helping doctors observe the pathological conditions of human organs that X-rays cannot reveal.

With advanced optical technology, doctors can gain a clearer understanding of the minute conditions inside the human body, thereby providing a solid and powerful basis for accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions. However, with the increasing popularity of minimally invasive surgeries, the variety and models of endoscopes have been springing up like mushrooms after rain, which has brought unprecedented huge challenges to the inspection and maintenance work.

Currently, in China, the inspection of precision machined parts for healthcare mainly adopts the visual inspection method. However, this method has limitations and is unable to effectively detect minor endoscope malfunctions and internal structure damages. There is no basis for measuring the optical performance, and it also requires extremely high skills and experience from the staff. The inaccuracy of the inspection results may also lead to internal liability disputes within the hospital, increase maintenance costs, and even cause the endoscopes to be prematurely scrapped, resulting in waste of hospital operating costs.

Industry pain points

Endoscope manufacturer

For endoscope manufacturers, the optical performance testing of endoscopes is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and reliability. High-quality optical performance can provide clear and accurate images, enabling doctors to conduct precise diagnoses and treatments, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of the products. Through rigorous optical performance testing, potential problems in the products, such as minor malfunctions and internal structure damage, can be detected promptly, preventing substandard products from entering the market, and reducing repair costs and customer complaints. This requires that the optical performance testing equipment be capable of conducting rapid and large-scale testing.

Third-party repair agency

Third-party repair institutions need to verify the repair effect through optical performance testing to ensure that the endoscope returns to normal operation and enhances customer satisfaction. However, they face the challenge of ensuring the accuracy of the testing. They must accurately detect the problems of the endoscope to avoid repeated repairs, which requires high technical skills from the repair personnel and sophisticated testing equipment. Additionally, the cost of purchasing professional testing equipment and training technicians is quite high, while customers are also sensitive to the repair prices. At the same time, completing the testing and repair as soon as possible, reducing equipment downtime to meet the urgent needs of customers, is also a problem that repair institutions need to solve.

Professional testing institution

The responsibility of the testing institution is to provide objective and accurate test results to ensure the quality of endoscopes. However, they need to ensure that the testing methods and results comply with the latest relevant standards, update the testing equipment and technologies in a timely manner to adapt to the continuous changes in standards. At the same time, providing accurate and reliable test data, ensuring data traceability, and meeting the requirements of regulatory authorities and customers are also important tasks. Moreover, as a "well-informed" testing institution, the technicians have to deal with various endoscopes, which poses a severe challenge to the compatibility of the optical performance testing equipment.

Solution

The endoscopic optical performance detection platform independently developed by Simai De Medical Technology provides a new solution to these problems. It has effectively addressed the key pain points in the optical performance detection of endoscopic equipment for industry customers, enabling one device to perform multiple tests, ensuring stable performance and facilitating operation.
