Abstract:Firstly, this paper summarized the market sales of medical equipment in China and global from 2001 to 2015, respectively. The situation of the medical devices industry and the characteristics of its remanufacturing at home and abroad were also analyzed. It reveals that the trend of medical equipment remanufacturing market is promising. Secondly, with laparoscopic medical equipment as the example, the weight of each part of the operating costs in laparoscopic facilities was calculated scientifically by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the equipment depreciation cost in medical instrument accounts for the largest, and the medical equipment remanufacturing could save more cost. Finally, based on the flow chart of laparoscopic medical equipment remanufacturing, the remanufacturing process framework which was suitable for general medical equipment was concluded. The analysis in this paper would provide a certain theory basis for the medical equipment remanufacturing industry in China.
