Global Innovation in Medical Equipment: The Unheated Helium-Free MRI by Midea Medical

Recently, the first 1.5T unheated helium-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system developed by Midea Medical, a subsidiary of Midea Healthcare, has been installed at Sichuan University Huaxi Second Hospital Tianfu Hospital · Sichuan Provincial Children's Hospital. Moreover, both parties have jointly established the "Unheated Helium-Free MRI Clinical Research and Training Base".

This not only marks a milestone in the hospital's technological upgrade but also serves as an important window for observing the autonomous process of China's high-end medical equipment.

The unheated helium-free MRI, from the strategic endorsement by the national ministries to its application in over 20 countries worldwide, and now to its clinical expansion in top-tier medical institutions, is providing a clear direction for China's medical equipment to move towards "self-reliance and global leadership" with its full-chain innovation.

国家战略导向：自上而下的产业推力

The rise of the unheated helium-free MRI is closely related to the top-level design at the national level. This year, the "Unheated Helium-Free Superconducting MRI System Application Project" led by Midea Group's Wando Medical, successfully entered the list of the 2025 high-end medical equipment application projects jointly released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Health Commission, and the National Medical Products Administration. This selection is interpreted by the industry as a clear policy signal, marking that the unheated helium technology path has obtained "official recognition" and has become a new track of high-end equipment supported by the country.

This selection by the three departments has profound value in building a "manufacturing end-clinical end-regulatory end" full-chain guarantee system, systematically promoting the resolution of the long-existing core短板 in China's high-end medical equipment field. According to the previous analysis by the First Branch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has long been facing the problem of import dependence in some core components of high-field MRI (such as superconducting magnets, high-end gradient amplifiers, and radio frequency systems) and underlying technologies, and the autonomous controllability of the industrial chain needs to be improved.

破解全球资源困局：技术突破带来的外溢效应

The value of the unheated helium technology not only responds to the national call for autonomous controllability but also hits a global industry bottleneck. Liquid helium resources are highly concentrated and non-renewable, with over 90% of the reserves distributed in a few countries such as the United States and Qatar, which leads to many regions facing "helium poverty" constraints, resulting in high costs for the popularization and operation and maintenance of traditional superconducting MRI.

The unheated helium-free MRI launched by Wando Medical has made a major breakthrough with "0 liquid helium loss, 0 site restrictions, 0 liquid helium disturbance," completely changing this bottleneck. According to Gong Zhao, the Strategic Market Brand Director of Wando Medical, this product is currently the only 100% unheated helium-free MRI system that has been successfully implemented in over 20 countries. Its application footprint shows that this technology is breaking through resource barriers and providing a new possibility for regions with weak medical infrastructure.

三甲医院临床闭环：自主创新的试金石与加速器

The ultimate value of any high-end medical technology must be realized through rigorous clinical verification. Medical institutions such as Sichuan University Huaxi Second Hospital Tianfu Hospital and Sichuan Provincial Children's Hospital, represented by the top domestic medical institutions, play a crucial role in this process. They are not only users of advanced equipment but also feedbackers of technological iteration and developers of application scenarios.

Wando Medical and Sichuan Provincial Children's Hospital have jointly established the Unheated Helium-Free MRI Clinical Research and Training Base. This action marks the upgrading of the cooperation from equipment application to a systematic research and production collaboration and talent training platform, aiming to form replicable and scalable clinical solutions, and inject long-term momentum into the scaled popularization and continuous iteration of technology.

自主跃迁：从单点突破到生态构建

Looking back at the unheated helium-free MRI from the laboratory to the clinical front line in Sichuan, it outlines the complete path of China's medical equipment autonomy: guided by national strategy, led by leading enterprises in core technology breakthroughs, combined with first-class research institutions, and then verified and improved through the clinical practice of authoritative medical institutions, ultimately forming a "research and development-transformation-promotion" virtuous ecosystem.

The launch ceremony held by Sichuan Provincial Children's Hospital can be considered as a demonstration of the阶段性 achievement of this innovative ecosystem. Wando Medical said that its unheated helium technology has developed to the third generation and achieved mass production. This预示着中国医疗装备自主化进入新阶段. When such autonomous innovative technology is no longer just a showcase in the exhibition hall but stable operation in busy clinical departments, and begins to gain a share in the international market, it indicates that the Chinese medical equipment industry is experiencing a profound leap.

As Professor Li Zhenlin, the Executive Dean of the Medical Technology College of Sichuan University Huaxi Clinical Medical College, said, "Domestic equipment has gone to the forefront. What we need to do is to tap potential, innovate together, and truly lead the world with Chinese medical technology."
