Third, the price of the product.
The development, production, registration and listing process of ECG monitor requires a lot of costs and funds, the development needs to charge technical knowledge, the introduction of highly intelligent researchers, production should pay attention to the purchase of good quality parts and components products, high security of equipment, setting and combination requires more efforts
Cardiac monitors belong to the higher grade of medical devices, as they come into contact with the human body, the FDA and the state have high requirements for the safety and reasonableness of their materials and equipment, they must go through layers of screening, testing, long time collection of adverse events and confirmation of safety and reliability before being allowed to go on the market, this process is very difficult, but it is because of these harsh conditions that they have helped health care workers save a life.
