By utilizing biomedical instrumentation from other nations, and by designing and fabricating instrumentation in several institutes under the control of the Medical Industries Ministry and the U.S.S.R. Academy of Medical Sciences, the Soviet Union has attempted to a bridge a 20 to 30-year technology gap. The lack of interagency cooperation and sophisticated manufacturing capability, combined with a system not directed to recognizing or exploiting innovation from within, suggests continued dependence on other countries. The Soviet system in these regards serves well as an example of a bureaucracy and system limiting technologic advancement. It is hoped that future actions in this country, in response to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's direct regulatory control over U.S. medical devices, will not lead to a similar stifling of technology development.
通过利用其他国家的生物医学仪器，并通过在苏联医疗工业部和苏联医学科学院控制下的几个研究所设计和制造仪器，苏联试图弥补20至30年的技术差距。缺乏跨部门合作和先进的制造能力，再加上一个不旨在识别或利用内部创新的体系，这表明苏联将继续依赖其他国家。苏联在这些方面的体系很好地例证了官僚作风和限制技术进步的体系。希望该国未来针对美国食品药品监督管理局对美国医疗器械的直接监管控制所采取的行动，不会导致类似的技术发展受阻情况。
