The summary of the content of the administrative penalty decision is as follows:

According to Nanchang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau's "Medical Device Supervision and Sampling Verification Letter" (Hong Shi Jian Xie Han [2023] No. 45) and "Inspection and Testing Report" (No.: YQCY20230023-NC, Inspection Category: Supervision and Sampling), the medical protective mask (specification: sterile folding ear hanging type-medium, batch number: 20221106) produced by the party concerned is unqualified, and the specific unqualified item is adhesiveness. On September 18, 2023, our bureau directly served the above-mentioned "Inspection and Testing Report" to the parties and conducted on-site verification. On September 28, Nanchang market supervision and Administration Bureau agreed to the parties to review the application. On November 9, our bureau received the inspection report of Fujian food and drug quality inspection institute (no 2023YC0843, re-inspection), and the re-inspection conclusion was still unqualified. On November 15, our bureau filed a case against the parties. On December 26, 2023 and January 2, 2024, our bureau conducted inquiries and investigations on two related personnel including Jiao *, the legal representative of the parties, and Wu *, the actual controller. Due to the complexity of the case, our bureau postponed the decision to handle the case until March 14, 2024.

On December 29, 2023, our bureau implemented administrative compulsory measures for seizure of 3600 medical protective masks recalled by the parties involved in the case with batch number 20221106 and quantity, and lifted the administrative compulsory measures on January 26, 2024.

According to the inquiry and investigation of the parties and related personnel and the analysis of the corresponding evidence materials, our bureau has determined the illegal facts of the parties. After investigation, the parties involved in the case produced a batch of 20221106 medical protective masks (specifications: large) from November 7 to 22, 2022, and the number of finished products was 30750. On November 28, 2022, the parties sold 30000 medical protective masks to Jiangxi Zhuchang Medical Devices Co., Ltd. without invoicing. As of October 19, 2023, the number of recalled tablets was 3600 and the number of unrecalled tablets was 27150, and no refund was made. The remaining 750 pieces were received by Wu * and used by employees of another enterprise in which he participated. No payment was made and no illegal income was generated. In summary, according to the "sales contract" of the parties involved, the price of the batch of medical protective masks involved is calculated at 0.4 yuan/piece, the total value of the batch of products involved is 12300 yuan, and the illegal income is 12000 yuan.

In addition, our bureau also found that the party had two batches of medical protective masks with batch numbers of 20221106 and 20221215, which were inconsistent with the registered contents. Among them, 96000 pieces of products with batch number of 20221215 were not sold. The medical protective mask instructions of the above two batches of products are inconsistent with the registered contents, which does not involve the quality problems of the main body of the products, and it is impossible to determine that they have illegal income.

To sum up, the parties concerned meet the above-mentioned circumstances of both light and heavy, and decided to impose a fine of 23000 yuan according to the general penalty level.
