A series of indexes are determined and an improved selection method is applied after comparing several evaluating methods on the basis of the characteristics of the army basic medical equipment.Algorithm for quantitatization of indexes,normalization of data,weight of each index and ranking are illuminated systematically.

This paper presents a general review on characteristics and development trends of new-style field first-aid medical equipment. It shows that first-aid medical equipment has new characteristics involving multi-functions, flexibility, application of advanced technology, etc., and has new development trends such as multiple functions, higher efficiency to be used in war and intellectualized control for self-aid and buddy-aid.

Objective To provide an accessorial reference platform in purchasing medical equipment for the City. Methods The Medical Equipment Selection System(MESS) was designed and developed by combining the medical equipment selection model and selection way with delphi7 based on Windows XP, then a selection open-platform of human-computer interaction was formed. Results The tested index data in which five types of semi -automatic biochemistry analyzer, including SBA-830, SBA-610, CA-958E, AVE-852, Microlab 300, these can prove the system running well and have strong objective and scientific. Conclusion The platform has good stability and sensitivity, which can provide an accessorial decision-making platform for purchasing medical equipment.
