Hello Everyone,

I would like to solicit your opinions a bout any Mindray products. Any opinion or evaluation based on use will do.

Thank You Very Much

They are made in China.

What else do you need to know?

Actually Geoff, the quality and options (specifications) are improving all the time, from a couple of years ago they were only offering patient monitors and ultrasound machines. Now they offer full turnkey projects, and all their own equipment.

Thanks Geoff,
I need to know if anyone have an idea regarding the quality of product, ease of use, durability and anything...

@ Neil, yes, they have now a wide variety of products, they are already offering here in the Philippines a total solutions for ICU patient monitoring and total solutions for Operating Room.

@ Geoff,the outlet for Asia pacific is based in china.

Yes guys ... I'm well aware that Chinese products are conquering the world.

Just like everyone else, best grab them whilst you can still afford them. One day those Chinese workers will be asserting themselves (as workers always do, eventually).

Nothing lasts forever (not even my old Toyota). Apple is now Number 1 (on the back of Chinese labour and, arguably, American innovation). Microsoft has become "yesterday's news" (how many Chinese programmers are there?). British "manufacturers" (bit of a misnomer there, I'm sad to say) rebadge kit made in Shenzhen. That's the way the world is these days. Just about the only market that the UK is still a player in is - yes, you've guessed it - defence (meaning "offence", of course). We're still pretty good at making guns, bullets, and all the rest.

Meanwhile, I doubt that we'll be seeing the likes of Foxconn* setting up in Western Europe any time soon.

@Charles: if you already know all these things ... why (what) are you asking? The bottom line is:- if you're looking for a manufacturer that can do all that has been mentioned, and at a price that's not a gouge - then frankly there's little alternative.

* How many folk in "the West" have heard of Terry Gou?

Hello to all,

I am a Service engineer for Mindray UK, based in Manchester I cover the north west territory. Charles If you have any queries or question please ask away.

Mindray are certianly a company going places fast, previously I have worked for both Keymed Olympus and Baxter, as an engineer I have never worked for a company that has produced so many products in such a short period of time. Mindray are producing fresh innovative products that are proving both reliable and cost effective. The aim from what I have seen is to become a 'solution seller' covering all clinical needs.

Please visit the web site and see for yourselves, If I can be of any assistance please let me know. Mindray will also be exhibiting at the EBME seminar, I will be on hand along with sales colleagues to answer any queries people may have.

Thanks

Paul Bailey

Welcome to the forum Paul.

That was one of the best "first posts" I have seen on here for quite a while.

Keep 'em coming!

If you want 'cheap' monitors you can try DST, American owned, manufactured in America and a lot cheaper than Mindray.

DST.

Are you sure that stuff is made in the States, Neil? It has that "Made in China" look about it to me.

It would be nice to take a look at one of those monitors (open it up, I mean).

And I wonder how (if) they can be cheaper than kit made by the willing hands of China.

Anyway Neil, surely you haven't forgotten the other option:- "good, used"!
