A medical technology company in East China’s Jiangsu Province independently developed China’s first domestically-produced portable ECMO system, which has begun the registration process.
The Saiteng OASSIST ECMO system was developed by Jiangsu Saiteng Medical Technology Co 江苏赛腾医疗科技有限公司 in Suzhou Industrial Park. The pre-charge amount of the pump head of the system is smaller with more even flow field compared with other ECMO machines, media reports said.
This is also the only domestic ECMO system in China that has begun the registration process.
So far, the OASSIST ECMO system has finished several animal trials successfully.
The system marks an opportunity for China to break free from its long-term dependence on importing these life-saving machines.
