MicroPort Scientific and LivaNova announced the CFDA approved their RegaTM family of pacemakers for China use. Four years ago, the two companies formed a JV to bring the pacemakers to China. The JV, based in Shanghai, manufactures the devices in China and claims they are China’s first domestically manufactured pacemakers that meet international standards. They are priced below their non-China competitors, the JV added. Founded in Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in 1998, MicroPort has grown to provide 200 products in ten major medical disciplines.
