Talk about the past and the present, explain the profound things in a simple way, and make a fresh start. On May 15, Wang Baoting, Director of the Medical Device Supervision Department of the State Food and Drug Administration, walked into the "Medical Lecture Hall" of China Medical News and gave a lecture entitled "The Situation and Tasks of my country's Medical Device Supervision Work".

Wang Baoting introduced that medical devices involve multidisciplinary fields such as medicine, sound, light, electricity, magnetism, and computers. The rapid changes in science and technology have brought great challenges to the supervision of medical devices. From the beginning of medical device supervision in developed countries in the 1940s and 1950s, he talked about the development process of my country's medical device supervision work and the main challenges and tasks currently faced, and introduced the latest progress in the revision of the "Regulations on Medical Device Supervision and Administration".

Wang Baoting said that compared with developed countries, my country's medical device industry has many differences in its industrial foundation, regulatory status, and regulatory model. At present, my country's medical device supervision is facing problems such as insufficient legal system, lagging standard work, low industry concentration, weak supervision team and supervisory capacity, and new challenges brought about by the reform of the supervisory system. The task of medical device supervision is: in about 5 years, the production of medical devices is basically standardized, the safety and effectiveness of medical devices are effectively guaranteed, and the medical device industry is fast and healthy development. He suggested that professional media should play a more active role in the interpretation of medical device policies, important regulatory measures, key enterprises, and technological development publicity, as well as reflecting the society's demand for medical devices.

Yan Hui, the president of China Medical News, awarded Wang Baoting a letter of appointment as a consultant for China Medical News. More than 30 people from the middle-level cadres of the newspaper, some editors and editors, and Medtronic, the support unit of the lecture hall, participated in the training.
