Testing reagents online centralized purchasing | 4 major problems need to be resolved!

Pharmaceutical Network February 27 hearing the test reagent online centralized purchasing is nothing new, and many provinces have established a unified online testing system in the province procurement system, and requires that all public hospitals must participate in online testing reagents reagents.

And as more and more provinces begin to join as time goes on, centralized online purchasing of test reagents will inevitably become the major supplier of reagents in China in the near future.

There are many advantages of centralized online testing reagents, there are many articles were introduced, we will not repeat them, and today talk about a few centralized online testing reagent may exist problems:

One of the main purposes of centralized online purchasing of test reagents is to reduce the virtual price of reagents and ensure that hospitals can buy cheap reagents.

Inspectors understand that many test reagents price artificially high, but higher than the money is not taken by the hospital, nor by the reagent manufacturer took, but by the middle agents took some reagents from the manufacturer to the laboratory, To go through the country's general agent, the provincial agencies and agents in various cities and three agents at different levels of agents, after each layer of agents have to add a price, resulting in the last test section to get the reagent price high.

And many agents as long as get the exclusive agent of foreign reagents, you can sit and earn money, do not care about after-sales and technical support, resulting in the phenomenon of large store fraud. And online testing reagents centralized procurement, similar to drug The two votes, can effectively squeeze middlemen layers of fare increase.

In order to squeeze out the price of reagent water, many provinces have imposed price restrictions on online centralized purchasing, either requiring the lowest prices in neighboring provinces or reducing the percentage based on the average purchase price of the previous year The same reagents in the tender, there will be a kind of auction between the reagent manufacturers, it is certainly a low price advantage.

But everything has two sides, does not rule out the reagent manufacturer in order to win the bidder reportedly sacrificing quality at low prices.

This worry is not purely unfounded, there are constantly low prices in the news Bidding Causing the accident caused by quality problems. To this end, the Ministry of Finance also promulgated the Measures for the Administration of the Bidding and Bidding of Goods and Services by the Government in 2017, which stipulated that 'the bid evaluation committee considers that the bidder's bid price is obviously lower than other bids passed the compliance examination People's quotes, may affect product quality Or fails to perform the contract faithfully, it shall require it to provide written explanation within the reasonable time of the bid evaluation and submit relevant supporting documents if necessary; if the bidder can not prove the rationality of its quotation, the bid evaluation committee shall treat it as invalid bidding.

Therefore, when testing reagents tender, you can not blindly to the low price as the main criteria, but should ensure the quality of the premise of choosing cheap reagents.

Many provinces will publish the list of reagents online, but after reading the list of reagents in several provinces, the author is still quite surprised. In many pharmaceutical catalogs published in many provinces, the domestic reagents are absolutely dominant. Many well-known IVD manufacturers are imported products are far behind the domestic reagents left behind, not to mention the top ten, in the top 20 in the face is a very not easy.

In recent years, domestic test reagents have made no small progress, many reagents reached or even exceeded the foreign reagents, but whether such a scale has been reached in the United States overtime, the author is questionable.

For the purpose of supporting national industry, it is incumbent upon every Chinese to support domestic reagents and support the development of domestic reagents. But support does not mean doting, and fair competition with imported reagents is the best way to exercise domestic reagents Methods, domestic reagents and imported reagents compared to the cost advantage, if you can continue to improve in quality, will be invincible in the world.

On the other hand, if large quantities of domestic reagents are purchased in large quantities just because they are cheap, the quality of domestic reagents will not be paid attention to, so domestic reagents will be eliminated sooner or later.

After the centralized inspection of reagents online, reagent distribution is a big problem, and now the solution is usually to allow manufacturers to solve their distribution problems, and some manufacturers are their own distribution, and some manufacturers entrusted to third-party logistics distribution.

No matter what kind of delivery method, the delivery of quality assurance is a problem that can not be ignored, for which the quality of how to ensure that, according to who does not seem to regulate the uniform regulation.

In addition, many test reagents, especially emergency reagents on the more stringent timeliness, before proxy Business is responsible for sales distribution, agents are usually in the local, but generally prepare some goods in their own warehouses, even if the more urgent reagents, agents can basically be served.

After a unified procurement, a reagent manufacturer to be responsible for the province's reagent sales, how to ensure the timeliness of delivery is a question to be considered.

The laboratory is the end user of the test reagent, the test reagent for the best or bad, but the centralized inspection of reagents online purchase, the test section in the reagent on the voice will be getting lower and lower, the choice of reagent autonomy Small, only passive selection of reagents in the directory, and can not express too much opinion.

Some people may say that the reagents into the directory are regular batch number, and have to go through the directory before the expert review, the level of experts is not less than your grass-roots inspectors? The level of experts certainly higher than us, this no doubt, But we also do not forget, manufacturers take samples to participate in judging certainly represent their best level, just as to participate in blind date, certainly the best side to each other to see, marry home only to find that when the blind date ' Immortal sister 'was originally a' pull feet Han '.

As for the regular lot number, there are also the same problems, I believe every inspector has used a lot of bad quality and lot.Therefore, it is necessary to establish a feedback mechanism for first-line inspection of reagents used in the quality of children's reactions, Regularly reflect on the quality of the reagents to be eliminated, and constantly urged manufacturers to improve the quality.

Inspection reagent online centralized purchasing is closely related to the inspector and the reform, which is also a provincial effort to promote the health planning commission, as opposed to each of the previous hospital Purchasing their own great advantages, but also a progress.

Some of the issues we talked about today do not necessarily exist in the actual work and may only be some unrealistic thoughts of the author. However, our original intention is that the objective is to make this very good system better and healthier to develop and promote The development of China's inspection business will promote the development of China's in vitro diagnostic reagents industry for the benefit of all inspectors.
