The company's core products-IQQA-Guide series of surgical robots and Fengjing surgery planning software product line, including clinically proven IQQA-3D. Yida Health has established a 3D precision surgery digital solution cloud platform (IQQA cloud platform) in China, which integrates IQQA-3D functions and enables doctors to collaborate on intelligent surgery planning remotely in real time.
Percutaneous surgical robot IQQA-Guide series was approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States in 2015, and then passed the special approval procedure of innovative medical devices of the State Drug Administration of China, and obtained the registration certificate of three types of medical devices issued by the State Drug Administration in January 2020.
It is worth mentioning that so far, there are only three major market participants in China's percutaneous surgery robot, with a total of four products that have been approved and put on the market. Among these products, IQQA-Guide 1.0 (MII) is the first surgical robot in China to be approved to use intelligent surgical navigation in all solid organs of the lungs and abdomen.
One of the main applications of precision surgery planning is thoracic and abdominal organs. In 2020, 31700 cases of thoracic and abdominal surgery are supported by precise surgical planning, and the number is expected to grow rapidly, reaching 141600 by 2025 and eventually reaching 639200 by 2030.
