China Ramps Up for Public Health Check Centres
Highlights
• China distributor orders 40 devices for April 2023 delivery
• First TruScreen Health Check installation in February 2023
• Further tender won in major public hospital
Truscreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX:TRU) is pleased to advise that its China distributor, Beijing
Siweixiantai Tech Co. Ltd (SWXT), has placed an order for 40 TruScreen cervical cancer screening
devices for installation into China’s growing public Health Check Sector. Delivery is expected in April
2023.
Following long COVID delays the initial installation of TruScreen into the public Health Check Centre
within The People's Liberation Army General Hospital, one of the leading health check centers in the
country was completed in February 2023. This is the first installation into a public Health Check
Centre and SWXT is expecting rapid growth in the year ahead.
TruScreen won the tender in February 2023 for Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University in Nantong,
Jiangsu Province. The hospital is one of the largest in the province and is highly regarded in North
Jiangsu. The head of its Obstetric and Gynecologic Department is the current Chair of COGA Jiangsu
Provincial branch (see NZX/ASX announcement dated 5 April 2022).
China, after the COVID lockdown years, is now seeing a strong pipeline of significant growth
opportunities. This includes 7 hospital tenders won with 13 installations pending, 23 hospitals where
TruScreen has been approved and waiting for tender outcomes, and 78 hospitals where Obstetric
and Gynecologic Department acceptance have been received and are waiting for the next stage of
hospital approval.
This announcement has been approved by the Board.

About TruScreen:
TruScreen Group Limited (NZX/ASX: TRU) is a New Zealand-based medical device company that
has developed an AI-enabled device that can detect precancerous and cancerous cervical changes
in real-time via optical and electrical measurements of cervical tissue. Unlike many cervical screening
technologies that have only triage/adjunct functionality, the TruScreen device is registered as a
primary screening tool.
TruScreen’s cervical screening technology effectively resolves many of the ongoing issues with
conventional cytology, including failed samples, poor patient follow-up, patient discomfort, and the
need for supporting laboratory infrastructure.
The device is CE-marked, meaning it meets EU safety, health and environmental protection standards
required for sale and use throughout Europe. It is also National Medical Products Administration
approved for sale in China. In 2021, TruScreen established a manufacturing facility in China for
devices marketed and sold in China.
TruScreen is currently targeting product sales to a range of low and middle-income countries,
including China, Mexico, Vietnam, Russia, Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia, where no large-scale cervical
cancer screening programmes and infrastructure are currently in place. By doing so, the Company
hopes to help improve the health and wellbeing of women worldwide.
