Electrophysiological Medical Consumables VBP<\/strong>
Led by Fujian alongside Hebei, Shanxi, and Inner Mongolia, among a total of 27 provinces (and regions, cities, etc.), the electrophysiological medical consumables VBP covers 11 product categories. There are three purchase modes: set procurement mode, single piece procurement mode, and supporting procurement mode, each subject to different filing prices. In the set procurement mode, sets with a price cut of \u2265 30% in the same group are eligible for the winning bid. Under the single piece purchase mode, within the same bidding unit, the bid winner is determined according to the ranking order of manufacturers. Additionally, manufacturers with a price cut of \u2265 50% will also earn spots. The procurement cycle is two years, with an implementation date of April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
