Dongdian Medical Accelerates Innovation in MedTech with Integrated One-Stop Device Translation Platform

May 26, 2023 08:00 CST Updated 08:00

Medical devices are a heavily regulated sector. From R&D to market launch, devices typically undergo multiple stages—including testing and inspection, animal studies, clinical trials, and regulatory submission—to repeatedly verify their safety, efficacy, and compliance, particularly for first-of-their-kind Class III innovative medical devices. Meanwhile, the medical device industry is a highly competitive arena, where every second counts in animal studies, clinical trials, and regulatory approval. Third-party medical device translation services have pressed the “accelerator button” for the commercialization of innovative devices.

 

With ongoing innovation in medical devices and the gradual improvement of national registration and review regulations, third-party medical device translation services are evolving toward greater specialization and one-stop solutions.One-stop medical device translation services not only improve service quality and accelerate the conversion of innovative devices, but also reduce communication costs, enabling efficient and high-quality transformation of innovative medical devices.

 

Dongdian Medicine, based in Hangzhou, provides one-stop medical device translation services, covering the entire process including device testing and inspection, large animal studies, human clinical trials, registration, and training on new medical technologies.Dongdian Medicine’s two sister companies—Comed, in the field of clinical research for medical devices, and Xidian Kechuang, in preclinical large-animal studies—have both established benchmark positions. Leveraging this foundation, the company possesses extensive project experience and client resources, enabling it to provide customized and professional medical device translation services to domestic and international medical device enterprises.

Biological Testing and Evaluation of Medical Devices

This conclusion addresses whether a medical device is relatively safe for future human use or currently acceptable, representing a critical step prior to entering clinical trials. With the release of the new Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices, medical device test reports may be provided either by the medical device registration applicants or filers, or by qualified third-party medical device testing institutions. Dongdian Medicine holds various professional qualifications and offers specialized medical device testing services across multiple fields.

 

Dongdian Medical features independent barrier-grade animal housing and laboratory facilities, as well as conventional-grade animal housing and laboratories. It also houses specialized sterile testing rooms, a microbial identification laboratory, and a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) microbiology laboratory. Equipped with advanced instruments such as multi-channel pyrogen temperature monitors, Olympus fluorescence microscopes, bioMérieux bacterial identification systems, Millipore membrane filtration systems, and Pyros Kinetix bacterial endotoxin testers, the facility is capable of conducting toxicological, genetic, immunological, sterility, and microbial limit tests for medical devices.
