Scope
YY/T 2005-2026 is the English-translated version of 中医器械 小针刀.
YY/T 2005 is the product standard for the acupotomy instrument, the small needle-knife used in Chinese medicine to release adhesions and scar tissue. It specifies the structure, the classification and the model designations, the requirements, the packaging and the labelling, and it describes the corresponding test methods. The acupotomy sits between an acupuncture needle and a scalpel, which is precisely why it needs its own standard: it is a cutting instrument in a field where the general acupuncture needle standards do not reach. It was issued together with YY/T 2006 on electrical cupping equipment as part of the build-out of the traditional Chinese medicine device series. For a manufacturer or a distributor supplying acupotomy instruments, this is the Chinese specification the product has to meet and the reference for its labelling.
