CHAPTER- 1
(An overview of industry concern)

The Medical Devices and Equipment Industry

The Medical Devices and Equipment industry, valued at US$ 2.5 billion contributes only 6% of
Indias US$ 40 billion healthcare sector. Moreover, it is growing at a faster annual rate of 15%
than 10-12% growth seen in the Healthcare sector in its entirety. A rise in the number of
hospitals and the increased requirement for healthcare facilities creates a need for sophisticated
devices and equipment, which can provide accurate treatment to individuals. The Medical
Electronics segment of this industry incorporates control, conversion, sensing, processing,
storage, display, and transfer of information on anatomy and physiology by making use of the
Electronics and Communication Technologies. The Medical Equipment industry is quite wide
with > 14,000 different products types, as per the Global Medical Device Nomenclature
(GMDN). The products range from wound closure pads to stents and IVD machines of medical
devices. Further, it can be reasonably said that Medical Electronics is an area, where Electronics
and Information Communication Technology play a decisive role.
Moreover, significant efforts have been made in the medical technology ecosystem to stimulate
innovation in this space so that the opportunities provided in the Indian market can be capitalized
by the companies working in this domain and the Indian consumer of healthcare services stands
to benefit.
In the past, the sector has significantly brought down the incidence of disease among patients,
families, society as well as improved the countrys health system, significantly. However, in

India the penetration of medical devices is low and inadequate due to the barriers that prevent
their usage.

Promotion of the Sector by the Government

The government is expected to develop a regulatory structure leading to quality products being
developed by manufacturers. However, the current regulatory structure lacks active participation
from the government but with the increase in competition in the sector, this is just a matter of
time. The last few years have seen an increase in domestic manufacturing of medical equipment.
With impetus from Government of India schemes, India is beginning to look forward to being
recognized as a manufacturing destination for sophisticated medical technology.

The Private and Foreign Investments

International companies in this field are also using India as a manufacturing base by either
setting up facilities of their own or by acquiring domestic manufacturers. Some examples include
3 M's manufacturing plant in Pune, Becton Dickinson's manufacturing facility in Haryana,
Hollister's setting up manufacturing facility in India and Philips Medical Systems' acquisition of
Medtronics and Alpha X-Ray Technologies. Medical Technology Parks have been proposed by
the Government of India in addition to the existing parks to encourage domestic manufacturing
of medical equipment.
FDI inflow will spur R&D and manufacturing innovations, in turn increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of medical electronic products. Advancement of medical electronic product quality
and associated successful diagnostic rates are expected to create a spurt in adoption.

Role Played by Major Competitors in the Medical Technology Sector

Medical Technology companies are undertaking a lot of innovations out of India, both, for the
domestic as well as the overseas markets. A Trans Asia Bio medical has developed in-vitro
diagnostic equipment through its R&D base in Mumbai. The Sushrut Adler Group has developed
an external fixator for the Indian market. Johnson and Johnson have developed a knee implant
suitable for the Indian market as well as a reusable stapler for use in surgeries at price points,
which are amenable to the Indian market. Roche Diagnostics has developed a screening device
for cardio-vascular diseases, which is suitable for use in rural settings. GE Healthcare has
developed a low cost ECG machine and a low cost Ultrasound machine for the Indian market.

Philips Healthcare is using its recent acquisitions in India to develop and launch a low cost Catha
Lab for the Indian market.

Drivers for Growth of Medical Technology Sector in India

Economic growth leading to higher disposable incomes

Increased Public Spending in Healthcare

Recommendations for Government to Improve Sector

Move toward adoption of the Global Harmonization Task Forces (GHTF) definition and
rules-based classification of medical devices.

Work towards making legislative amendments to enable comprehensive Medical Device

Regulations.

Urgent Necessity for resource, funds allocation for training and skill up gradation.

Evolve medical technology clusters with common facilities for development, calibration,
testing, quality control, waste management etc. hence, creating an ecosystem for the
benefit of SMEs focusing on medical technology.

Increase public spending in healthcare from 1% of GDP to 3% of GDP to radically alter

the provision of healthcare services.

Encourage greater collaboration between medical centers and technology universities.

Increase the quality and enhance consistency of training received by medical and
paramedical staff thereby providing creative resources for leading medical innovation
efforts.

Include medical technology education within the medical curriculum with assistance
from agencies like NIPER.

Increases the training for regulatory staff especially at the State Level to ensure consistent
interpretation of regulatory approval processes for which partnership with Industry
associations maybe considered as a practice instead of sporadic efforts.

Usher further reform in the insurance sector to stimulate health insurance thereby
providing the financial incentives for medical technology innovation.

Set up a venture investment fund to address the lack of early stage venture capital

STRENGTHS

It provides perfect data as per the clients requirement.

It adopts innovative research ideas always.

It trains it enumerator in appropriate manner.

It is much more reliable than others as per success of companies.

Lastly it gives clients satisfaction.

WEAKNESS

Some

enumerators

cannot

bring

perfect

data

up

to

the

r e q u i r e m e n t . S o i t n e e d s t o b e checked.

Most of the time respondents didnt want to give time due to the length of the
questionnaires.

Again most of the respondents dont want to give all the response and the
fact things about them.

OPPORTUNITY

Company can conducts more research by uninterrupted services and good coverage.

It can be more lovable by the clients by giving more appropriate data.

Now-a-days every company interested for the research.

THREAT
Threat from biasness while collecting the data for research like respondents gave us partially
wrong data as they thought that we were from income tax department.

 APPROACHES TOWARDS COMPANY:

I did my study under IMRB International. My ultimate job was, to know the figure and
presentably of equipments in major cities; i.e. how many of them are keep equipments and
use them. Every day I have to visit one hospital to collect the data and try to know what they
provide to us. To collecting the data we have to give brief information about the research to
the respondents. Every day we collected the data and submitted these to the company.
According to the study and quota allocated we had move different places. Many at a time we
felt lots of problem but apart from that we put our best to make this study an effective one.
There was also some important role of the team leaders who guided us in each and every
stage of the study. We always contact them whenever we face any problem in collecting the
data.

CHAPTER -3
(Literature Review)

In 2007 the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with the Government of the
Netherlands, launched the Priority Medical Devices (PMD) project to determine whether medical
devices currently on the market were meeting the needs of health care providers and end-users
throughout the world and if not, to propose research to identifyand action to remedy
inadequacies or shortcomings. The aim of the project was to bring medical devices to the
attention of policy makers and to help guide both industry and government on public health
spending.The main objective of the Priority Medical Devices project was to identify gaps in the
availability of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and assistive medical devices on the market.
Mapping of gaps in the supply of medical devices constitutes a priority for governments and key
stakeholders because of the need to treat disease or disability. In addition, the project assessed
potential barriers to innovation as well as generated a research agenda and action plan.
The methodology used, took into account of the following key items:

present burden of disease and disability and the associated clinical guidelines;

potential future burden of disease and of disability, given the changing demography in many
countries;

cross cutting issues like training design, context, regulatory framework; and

Drivers and barriers to innovation and research.

Outcomes
A generic methodology to know the availability of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and
assistive medical devices. These gaps include medical devices that are or may be:
a. currently not available;
b. if available, not necessarily used worldwide;
c. if used, not to the extent that is desirable; or
d. That may be inappropriate for the context in which they are used.

Identification of the main barriers to innovation and diffusion of medical devices and where
possible, suggestion of solutions to either reduce or overcome these.

A proposed research agenda

The promotion of medical devices as important tools for improving health care.This first phase
of the AMT project points to the next steps in a continuous process of developing tools for
assessing the availability, accessibility and appropriateness of medical devices

CHAPTER -4
(Research Design & Product
Methodology)

Objective & area of study

To analyze the availability of Medical equipments such as X-ray, Ultrasound, and
ECG machine in Hospitals, Clinics & Diagnostic center in Puri.
To know the product brand
To know the product model

To make my project a complete one and an efficient one I have obtained some sampling
techniques for the completion of research work. The sampling technique of random sampling
followed by purposive sampling is applied for the research work.

To maintain database which would contains hospital/diagnostic/clinic profile like

name, address, contact no.

The respondents name who present in the time of interview.

In marketing research no two list are exactly identical, but there is a single procedure that can be
followed in all investigation. However, the general procedure followed now days is applicable to
most projects. Some of the step are inter related, some overlap & some are unnecessary in
most project. The steps in marketing research process are:

1. Research problem identification.

2. Defining research problem.
3. Identification of variables.
4. Development of hypothesis.
5. Designing the research instrument.
6. Conducting research study.
7. Organize & analyze the data.
8. Research problem solution.
9. Present and Use Market Research Findings.

The first basic step was to define the Marketing problem in specific term. This include shortest
of medical equipment in cities. Also difficult to know what type of disease and how deeper
affect. The next step show the exact problem extorted during the research work. Then another
step had shown key point of that particular disease. To routed out the solution of that problem for
providing best treatment to patient.

A.

Research design
This is based on customer research design is the arrangement of connection and analysis
of data in manner that aim to combine relevance to the research
p u r p o s e w i t h e c o n o m y i n procedure. The research design specifies the
method of data collection & data analysis. The design of research happens to be in
respect of: 1) What is the study about?
2) Where will the study is carried out?
3) What will be the sample size?
The study is planned carefully with respect to source of information
b e c o n s u l t a n t e d & collected. The entire question is related to the topic. Size of
sample is 42. So cluster sampling followed by random sampling and purposive
sampling where all 42 sampling is done by purposive sampling according to the
quota control. A well designed procedure was prepared to carry the research in
a smooth manner .Several steps of the research procedure are described under
following headings.

Sampling

Listing

Quota control

Face to face interview

SAMPLING
Sampling is an important part of the business research process. It is the part of the
total population. Although it is a subset, and representative of the total population, we have
selected this because it is ideal for research in terms of cost, convince and time. The process of
taking the s a m p l e f r o m a t o t a l o r w h o l e p o p u l a t i o n b y u s i n g s e v e r a l
s a m p l i n g t e c h n i q u e i s c a l l e d a s Sampling.
.
LISTING
Listing is the process where the entire selected sample are listed or noted. To make a list of those
criteria according to this we had gone to the name of the hospital/diagnostic/clinic
centers. There to whom we meet at the First time noted the name of respondents in that
during the interview. But for that we have to take into consideration at least one specialization
should be of the respective respondent. We had to consider those hospital/diagnostic/clinic
centers that must have at least one medical equipment (ECG, X-RAY, ULTRASOUND etc.)
Up-to the grid listing we had collected certain data about them and their employee etc.
In the Grid listing; we had collected the data regarding the specialization/doctor
of those

hospital/diagnostic

center/clinics.

Such

as;

name,

educational

q u a l i f i c a t i o n , f i e l d , e x p e r i e n c e etc.
WHY LISTING WAS NECESSARY FOR US?
Listing is necessary for us due to certain reason. Such as;
1. To know about the objective.
2. To know the other related data which is necessary for records

QUOTA CONTROL
Quota is something that has assigned before the research programmed to take that
compulsory in the sampling process to meet the requirement of the research. Quota is one type
of judgment sampling. So we had to select the cluster according to the quota control. The quota
assigned for different types of medical equipment use by users are as follows;
Hospital
1. Orthopedics

2. General care
3. Mother care
Clinic
1. General care
2. Mother and child
Diagnostic centers

1. Basic Imaging (ECG and ultrasound)

2. Basic Radiology (x-ray)
3. Basic imaging and radiology ( ECG, ultrasound and x-ray)
INTERVIEW PRCEDURE
By considering these quotas we find the require respondents. We adopt purposive
sampling methods for this study. This is discussed as follows;

PURPOSIVE SAMPLING:
It is type of sampling method, in which all the eligible respondents are selected
from the respective area without follow any random method and right hand rule. In
other words; in this we can select any hospital/diagnostic centers/clinics according to our
requirement from that area. The purposive sampling was adopted in order to save the cost, time
and ultimately to fulfill the required quotas. For the interview a sophisticated
questionnaire was prepared which was somehow a lengthy one. It was asked to
respondents very carefully and cordially. All the response was very important for this study
and every response was noted down. Most of the time we faced lots of problem but we
take all of those as an experience and try to make a cordial relationship with the respondents
through which we can get our required data or responses.

B.

SOURCES OF DATA OR DATA COLLECTION METHOD:

For the completion of this project I have taken only the help of the primary data.

PRIMARY DATA:For the selection of primary data I have obtained the sampling techniques and the
perceptionand response of each sample unit is included. We obtained the data through d
irect communication with respondents in one form and through personal interviews.
There are several method of collecting primary data, particularly in survey and
descriptive research. In every research and study it is very much important
and essential to collect primary data. For that I visited some of the places as
allotted to me. Collecting data is somehow difficult but I put my best to collect
the require data from the respondents. For that I had given all the information about this
study, like - why these data are collected? What we will do with this data?
What is their benefit? And so on. Very carefully I collect the data from the
respondents. In this study we had to follow-up certain guide lines to overcome the
wrong and unnecessary data.
