Objective To compare product standards of drug and medical device made from sodium alginate and calcium alginate between domestic and abroad, and to emphases on the process parameters monitoring based on different standards. Methods Sodium alginate and calcium alginate standards of both domestic and foreign were analyzed and summarized, and the differences and commonalities of various product standards among each standard were compared. Results Differences exist in product standards of sodium alginate and calcium alginate between domestic and abroad, whether drug or medical device, but the fundamental control points are concordant. Conclusion Companies should focus on product quality control requirements combined with its own unique manufacturing process characteristics to develop reasonable and controllable quality standards, which can ensure safe and effective clinical use.
