Are you dare to

buy medical devices

from the parallel importers?

The previous news about the parallel-imported vaccine has made the public panic. Some doctors said that if a parallel-imported vaccine is injected, it may cause sepsis, organ failure, and even more serious risks to health. In fact, the price of parallel imports is cheaper, because most of the parallel importers would not provide any after-sales service. When there is a problem with the parallel imports, the original manufacturer may not accept it. In addition, if the original manufacturer needs to recycle a certain batch of goods, you may not receive the relevant information and continue to use the unqualified batch of goods. It may not hurt if you just buy parallel-imported cameras, computers or household electrical appliances. However, if you buy parallel-imported medical devices, the consequences can by very serious. As a savvy consumer, you should read the guidelines provided by the Department of Health before purchasing, to understand the risks of buying parallel-imported medical devices:
