  • An Overview of the Medical Device Regulations in the Russian Federation
    International Medical Device Consultants Since 1997 AN OVERVIEW OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE REGULATIONS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Russia has a population of 149 million and is a potentially lucrative market for medical device companies. In 2007, the Russian market for medical devices and related supplies totalled US$1.8 billion. This puts the market among the top 20 in the world, although per capita spending remains very low compared to the European or US markets. The registration of medical devices and medical equipment in Russia is, however, challenging. Russia has made efforts to improve the process in the last few years but there are still many areas of ambiguity. In 2006, the government initiated a Priority National Programme in Public Health Service, which aims to improve Russian healthcare standards and a regulatory process that was bureaucratic and lacked clarity and transparency. Since the project’s implementation, numerous medical facilities have been upgraded. This plan is benefiting equipment manufacturers as around 80% of the market is supplied by imports. Germany, the USA and Japan were the leading suppliers in 2007, accounting for more than half of all imports. Perhaps most problematic for foreign manufacturers seeking device registration is that Russia still relies on a system of product testing as a tool for determining product safety and efficacy. As Russia has its own national standards, such testing is also required for products that already possess CE marking, US Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance or other national approvals. Even products that have been for sale on the US and European markets for many years require product testing to Russian standards as well.

  • SLEEPING CARS Azerbaijan Railways (ADY), Azerbaijan
    SLEEPING CARS Azerbaijan Railways (ADY), Azerbaijan In June 2014, Azerbaijan Railways (ADY, Azerbaycan Demir Yollari) ordered 30 sleepers from Stadler. They are intended for inter- national operation on the line from Baku (Azerbaijan) via Tbilisi (Georgia) to Kars (Turkey) and on to Istanbul (Turkey), and designed for an service speed of 160 km/h. The route not only crosses international borders, it also involves break-of-gauge. In order for the trains to be able to travel both on the Russian broad gauge used in Azerbaijan and Georgia, and on standard gauge used in Turkey, the bogies developed by Stadler are fitted with variable gauge wheelsets. The 30 sleepers are split into five different carriage types. There are 18 second class sleepers with 32 beds in four-berth compartments, 3 first class cars with 16 beds in two-berth compartments, 3 first and second class carriages with 20 beds in two-berth compartments, and 3 second class carriages with a compartment for people with restricted mobility. This amounts to a total of 18 beds and a dining car with 28 seats. Each car has an emergency power unit that enables it to stay in operation up to 24 hours when the train line is not being fed by the locomotive. www.stadlerrail.com Stadler Rail Group Stadler Altenrhein AG Ernst-Stadler-Strasse 1 Industrie- und Gewerbepark CH-9565 Bussnang CH-9423 Altenrhein Phone +41 (0)71 626 21 20 Phone +41 (0)58 595 50 00 [email protected] [email protected] Technical features Vehicle data Technology – Car body made of extruded aluminium
