China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) is planning a nationwide safety campaign to check the manufacture, sales and use of medical apparatus.
Â
The five-month action will focus on fake certificates, illegal manufacture and sales, false advertising claims and the use of unapproved products, Tong Min, a senior CFDA official said on Monday at a press conference.
Â
The check for illegal manufacture will mainly target products such as disposable injectors and catheters as well as condoms -- which might be made from unapproved or non-sterilized materials.
Â
Meanwhile, products for external use, including contact lenses, hearing aids and various reagents, will be the focus of the check for illegal sales and improper storage and transfers.
Â
Advertised claims of exaggerated effectiveness, sometimes in the name of experts and patients, are a long term concern of the public.
