At the beginning of November 2023, a car with a "Chuan A" license plate became popular on the Internet.
It turned out that the car had a poster that said, "There is AED defibrillation equipment in the car, contact ** as follows, if you need to use it in case of emergency, you can directly break the window and take it out".
After this news was reported, it quickly popularized the knowledge related to AED. The full English name of AED is "Automated External Defibrillator", which can be translated into an external cardiac defibrillator, when using, you only need to stick the electrodes in the correct position, you can automatically identify the patient's heart rate, and the instrument will prompt you to press the button to defibrillate after reaching the required heart rate, AED sends out a large amount of current through the heart in a very short time to terminate all irregular and uncoordinated electrical activities of the heart, so that the current of the heart can return to normal. Buying time for the arrival of the ambulance is therefore regarded as one of the effective means of out-of-hospital first aid.
According to the statistics of the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, there are as many as 550,000 sudden cardiac deaths in China every year, an average of 1,500 people die of cardiac arrest every day, and one person suddenly collapses because of cardiac arrest every minute, and 87% of these accidents occur outside the hospital. If AED becomes widespread, more lives will be saved.
A private car can be equipped with AED and can be lent to others for use, which also shows that Chinese's first aid awareness and first aid knowledge are rapidly popularizing. This is also related to the rise of Chinese AED manufacturers represented by Yuyue Medical.
On April 7, Yuyue Pumekang Y series semi-automatic external defibrillator (AED) products obtained the "Medical Device Registration Certificate" issued by the State Drug Administration, opening the road of fully independent domestic AED production and sales. Yuyue Pumekang Y series AED is in the forefront of the world in terms of defibrillation energy, boot speed, algorithm analysis, battery life and other key indicators of products. In addition, Yuyue Pumekang AED broke through 1 second and 65 years of battery life, all of which are the first in the industry.
In addition to promoting the localization and substitution process of China's AED, Yuyue Medical also popularizes first aid knowledge through various public welfare activities and promotes the sustainable development of China's first aid industry. In October 2023, Yuyue Pumekang partnered with Tencent's Sustainable Social Value Business Unit (SSV) to conduct a four-day first-aid training activity for 150 Meituan brothers in Beijing. This is one of the stops in the special public welfare training program of Yuyue Pumeikang "First Aid Last Kilometer", which will set up first aid training centers in 100 cities and 1,000 counties, equipped with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulators, electronic blood pressure monitors, thermometers, first aid kits and other teaching interactive equipment, and set up public welfare first aid training courses every week, integrating the four functions of chronic disease monitoring, health science popularization, volunteer service and ambulance training.
In addition, in the pilot work of national school first aid education carried out by the Ministry of Education, Yuyue Medical participated in the compilation of the "Campus First Aid Facilities and Equipment Allocation Specification". These measures have promoted the popularization of knowledge about AED.
According to the National Health Commission's "Technical Guidelines for the Configuration and Management of Automatic External Defibrillators in Public Places (Draft for Comments)" document standards, the number of AED configurations should reach 100 200 units and 100,000 people, and statistics show that in 2020, China's data will be 2 units, after the development of recent years, the number of AED configurations is likely to have increased, and the scale of China's AED market is expected to exceed 100 billion in the future. For medical device leaders such as Yuyue Medical, it is equivalent to opening a blue ocean market and providing a key guarantee for the development of China's emergency industry.
