In recent years, the global medical equipment market has grown steadily, and the current market size is approaching US$100 billion; According to research, my country’s medical equipment market has become the second largest market in the world after the United States. Asia Power Devices (APD), Taiwan’s leading power company, participated in the China International Medical Equipment Expo CMEF held in Shanghai on May 14-17 and displayed a full range of highly reliable medical power supplies (Hall 8.1/A02). During the exhibition, APD demonstrated its quiet and efficient performance, compact and portable design, and excellent product performance, which attracted the attention of the world’s leading medical device manufacturers.
Actively involved in the energy industry for almost 30 years, APD has become a long-term strategic partner for many of the world’s leading medical device manufacturers. In 2015, Ayuan was awarded the “ISO 13485 Medical Equipment Quality Management System Standard Certificate” and was also awarded the qualification certificate of “National High-Tech Enterprise” for several consecutive years. In 2023, the company received the title of “Shenzhen Food Champion” for its medical nutrition source. Zhuang Ruixing, general manager of APD’s power systems division, said, “China’s medical market is extremely important to APD. We continue to actively invest resources in R&D, design and manufacturing processes. Receiving this award shows that APD’s manufacturing technology and craftsmanship have reached international excellence. This is also one of the most important reasons why APD continues to win the trust of customers around the world.
In order to ensure that products meet the latest industry standards in terms of safety regulations, electromagnetic compatibility, standard energy efficiency research and certification testing, APD has invested a lot of resources in establishing the highest level industry safety laboratories, including “UL Safety Laboratory” and “EMC Laboratory”, which can fully cover and meet the requirements of various industry certification standards for power supplies and help customers bring products to market faster. Recently, when the latest version of Chinese medical power supply standard GB 9706.1-2020 came into force on May 1, APD also dedicated resources to research and interpret the differences in regulations, and to study the differences in safety design related to the product, to ensure that its products meet the latest version of medical safety standards.
After the epidemic, with the acceleration of the construction of medical institutions, medical application equipment is becoming more diversified and prosperous. Highly reliable APD medical power supplies are widely used in ventilators, oxygen concentrators, humidifiers, monitors, infusion pumps, in vitro diagnostics (IVD), endoscopes, ultrasound, electric hospital beds, electric wheelchairs and other equipment. In addition, due to the development of the medical cosmetics market in recent years, APD has also invested in the application of various medical devices such as beauty devices and hair removal devices, and has continuously developed food products that can meet the diverse needs of medical customers.
Due to the special conditions of use of medical devices, more stringent requirements for safety and reliability are imposed on medical power supplies. The entire APD medical power supply series complies with IEC60601 global medical device safety regulations and UL60601 series standards and provides 2 x MOPP insulation protection; they also have an extremely low leakage current, which can ensure the safety of patients to the greatest extent. The peak current of the power supply reaches more than 300%, which can ensure stable power supply even if the medical equipment has a short-term need for high current. It also provides the best heat dissipation for the product; APD medical power supply design uses CAE simulation to optimize the heat dissipation structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of medical equipment. The product also uses an optimized electromagnetic interference structure design, which improves the anti-interference performance and product safety. At the same time, the APD medical power supply also has high resistance to static electricity and fast surges, as well as protection functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent and overheating, which can guarantee the stability of medical equipment and patient safety. They are also very quiet in operation, providing a calm and peaceful environment for patients to rest. In addition, APD’s built-in power supply can also be widely used in other harsh environments, and can still ensure the product’s safe and stable operation; product safety is excellent.
With strong research and development capabilities and stable and efficient power supplies, APD continues to grow and outperform the industry with 15% annual revenue growth. By constantly innovating technology, actively improving the production technology and optimizing the process, all the factories of the group have been fully equipped with highly automated production equipment, and the production efficiency and product quality have been greatly improved. In order for the group to continue ramping up its production capacity, APD’s new Shenzhen Pingshan plant will be completed and operational in September 2022. This is APD’s third largest manufacturing base in China after Shenzhen No. 1 and No. 2 plants, helping to expand APD’s total production capacity to a new milestone. Zhuang Ruixin, general manager of APD’s power systems division, said that APD will continue to innovate in technology and expand global manufacturing capacity in the future, and provide global customers with the most competitive medical power supply solutions with efficient manufacturing services.
