Basic Precautions for Exporting Medical Trolley Products to the EU
Basic Precautions for Exporting Medical Trolley Products to the EU In view of the recent feedback from many customers that their products were unpacked and inspected during customs clearance in Europe. Some feedback did not have a CE mark, and some did not have factory information. The customer had to spend a lot of effort and expense to go to the site for processing and provide a test report. Customers who ship to Europe are particularly reminded to confirm whether their products have correct labels and prepare test reports in advance. 1- DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The declaration includes the following content: manufacturer name and contact address, product name, UMDNS number (universal code for medical devices), product classification...Read More -

IEC60601 – Interpretation of Mechanical Stability Testing Clauses for Medical Equipment
Medical Cart Mechanical Safety Testing Methods and Requirements One Introduction In China, the national definition of medical devices refers to instruments, equipment, appliances, in vitro diagnostic reagents and calibrators, materials and other similar or related items that are used directly or indirectly on the human body, including the required computer software. Because medical carts do not directly act on the human body, the Food and Drug Administration clearly stipulates that medical equipment carts are not medical devices, causing many people to be unclear about the standards and requirements for medical carts. Either they mistakenly believe that the medical cart is a medical device and ask the manufacturer for a non-existent registration certificate or filing; or they think that the medical cart is not a medical device and does not have any standards. In fact, in Europe...Read More -

Preliminary analysis of telemedicine stakeholders and implementation models
At present, telemedicine construction has been launched across the country, and CORITON has also cooperated with system integration companies and software companies to implement multiple telemedicine construction projects. This article attempts to analyze the stakeholders of telemedicine and several existing telemedicine implementation models, and explore possible cloud hospital models. Current Problems with Telemedicine 2019-6-12 China Economic Network reported that telemedicine is currently "applauded but not popular".

An in-depth analysis of the common features of high-quality medical cart designs. One: A metal high-strength base
Currently, there are a mixed bag of medical carts on the market, with uneven quality. CORITON has been deeply involved in the medical cart industry for nearly ten years and has cooperated with many large domestic and foreign listed equipment companies. This article summarizes the common requirements of these large formal medical device companies, as well as some common characteristics of major brand medical carts on the market. This article mainly talks about the base of the stroller. The base is the most critical component of a cart's final load-bearing capacity. It needs to bear the weight of the cart itself, the weight of medical equipment, the accessory basket, the weight of products that may be placed in the drawer, and even other unexpected weights, including human body support and doctors using the cart to carry other temporary products. The weight it needs to carry may far exceed the regulations...Read More -

CORITON is not afraid of U.S. sanctions and a large number of products are about to sail to Cuba on cargo ships
In May 2019, CORITON and the Cuban state-owned Medical Equipment Import and Export Group once again reached an annual purchase framework agreement for a new batch of medical carts. All products are expected to arrive in Havana, the capital, by cargo ship before the end of December. Since the United States has been subject to multiple U.S. sanctions, it has become increasingly difficult for Chinese companies to cooperate with Cuba. The Cuban market is relatively small. Many domestic companies have given up on the Cuban market in order to avoid offending the United States or because they are unwilling to spend energy solving various difficulties such as payment, shipment, and bank due diligence. The first thing to face is the problem of payment collection. Due to U.S. sanctions, it is unlikely that U.S. dollars will be used in transactions with Cuban customers. Most of the world's European and American, Hong Kong, and China...Read More -
