From March 13 to 16, 2025, the China Medical Equipment Conference and Exhibition was grandly held at the Chongqing International Expo Center. This year's conference, hosted by the China Association for Medical Equipment, was themed "Empowering Technology and Industry Innovation." It showcased the latest products, technologies, applications, and methods in the field of medical equipment. The event gathered numerous well-known domestic and international enterprises, medical institutions, and experts and scholars to jointly explore cutting-edge technologies and innovative trends in the medical equipment sector.

FLASH Radiotherapy Equipment Shines at the Event

Zhongjiu Flash Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Changhong, showcased its globally leading high-end nuclear medical device—the e-Flash ultra-high dose rate electron beam radiotherapy system. The device attracted significant attention, highlighting the innovation capabilities of domestic high-end medical equipment.

Industry leaders, experts, medical professionals, and media reporters from across the country visited the Zhongjiu Flash booth. They engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges on hot topics such as the latest research findings of FLASH technology, clinical progress, application scenarios, and future development trends, exploring effective ways to bring FLASH radiotherapy technology to the clinic, to the market, and to serve a broader patient population.

Mr. Liu Yigang, former Deputy Director of the Radiation Source Supervision Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and Mr. Cheng Jinsheng, Director of the Radiotherapy Safety and Protection Research Office of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, visited the booth to offer their guidance.

At the exhibition, the company's e-Flash electron beam radiotherapy system garnered widespread attention due to its outstanding performance, innovative technology, and aesthetic design. Visitors flocked to the booth to experience and inquire about the device, offering high praise for its innovation, efficiency, and application value. Many expressed that the device not only brings new hope to cancer patients but also sets a new benchmark for the domestic development of high-end medical equipment in China.

The e-Flash radiotherapy device on display is an internationally leading and domestically pioneering ultra-high dose rate electron FLASH radiotherapy device. It features a maximum dose rate of no less than 250 Gy/sec and reduces single-treatment time to the millisecond level, significantly reducing side effects. The device is equipped with flexible traction and visual positioning functions to achieve highly efficient and precise targeting. It is primarily used for radiotherapy in superficial skin tumors, freckle removal, acne treatment, and other scenarios, and can also serve as an auxiliary treatment during and after surgery.

Sharing the Latest Achievements in FLASH Technology

During the exhibition, the Radiotherapy Equipment Technology Branch of the China Association for Medical Equipment hosted a symposium on "New Developments in Radiotherapy Equipment Technology." Mr. Liu Xianhong, Executive Deputy General Manager and Chief Engineer of Changhong Zhongjiu Flash Company, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled "FLASH: From Laboratory to Clinic." He shared the company's latest achievements in FLASH technology research and development, the latest conclusions from FLASH comparative experiments conducted by more than 30 well-known research institutions nationwide, the clinical trial plan for the product, and the company's future development strategy. He also announced that the company's independently developed e-Flash ultra-high dose rate electron beam radiotherapy system, an international leader and domestic pioneer, will soon commence clinical trials, marking a solid step forward in the industrialization of China's high-end medical equipment.

FLASH: Leading the Future of High-End Radiotherapy Equipment Innovation

FLASH radiotherapy technology, recognized as the third revolutionary innovation in global cancer radiotherapy, irradiates tumors with ultra-high dose rates (≥40 Gy/s) in an extremely short time. It rapidly destroys tumor cell DNA while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, achieving the goal of cancer treatment. The technology offers multiple advantages, including high treatment efficiency, low toxicity and side effects, and reduced treatment costs. As a pioneer in China's nuclear medical field, Changhong Zhongjiu Flash Medical Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to focus on FLASH radiotherapy technology innovation and industrial application, continuously improving the domestication level of nuclear medical equipment, breaking foreign technological monopolies, and promoting the development of nuclear medical devices towards miniaturization, intelligence, and precision.

By participating in this exhibition, the company aims to establish broader cooperative relationships with domestic and international medical institutions, research institutes, and industry partners. Together, they will promote the global application of FLASH technology, benefiting patients worldwide and contributing to human health and well-being.
