Citation Source and Traceability for Medical Device

What Data for This Category Looks Like

Medical device investment research data primarily comes from official announcements from national drug regulatory authorities, clinical research journals, manufacturers’ public product manuals, and compliance filing documents. Data updates follow no fixed schedule. New approved products, registration certificate changes, and updated clinical results will trigger new data releases. A single document typically includes fields such as product name, registration certificate number, approval date, applicable clinical scenarios, and core technical parameters. Technical parameters must include standard units. The registration certificate number is a globally unique official identifier.

Constraints on Citation Source and Traceability

The multi-official-source nature of medical device data requires traceability systems to bind unique identifiers for each data source, preventing confusion of product information across sources. The lack of fixed update cycles requires traceability systems to support incremental synchronization of newly released compliance data, ensuring the timeliness of cited content. Technical parameter fields with units require traceability systems to retain original unit information, without arbitrary modification or omission. The globally unique registration certificate number, as an official identifier, must act as the core associated field for traceability. Internal file collection IDs from the knowledge base must not be used, to ensure citation compliance and traceability.

Configuration Settings

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`reference_id_field`	`registration certificate number`	Official unique identifier for medical device products, can directly link to publicly available drug regulatory traceability data
`retrieve_top_k`	`Top 8 results`	Medical device investment research needs to cover multi-source clinical and registration data, to avoid missing key traceability information
`similarity_threshold`	`0.72–0.80`	A large number of professional terms require balancing recall precision and coverage, to avoid filtering out niche clinical data
`parse_chunk_size`	`1000–1200 characters`	Medical device documents contain long sections of technical parameters. Too long chunks will lose traceability associations, too short chunks will damage parameter integrity
`source_update_strategy`	`Incremental synchronization by data source release time`	Medical device registration data updates follow no fixed schedule. Newly released approval announcements must be crawled in real time to complete traceability binding
`reference_template`	`{{product_name}} ({{reference_id}}), Source: {{source_name}}, Publish Date: {{publish_date}}`	Retain product identifiers and official traceability fields, to meet compliance requirements for investment research scenarios

The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing.

Three Common Misconfigurations

Direct configuration of the temperature parameter is not supported when variable reference mode is active. This mode inherits global model parameters by default. Adjust the parameter by embedding it in custom prompts.
Citations return the internal id of the knowledge base file collection instead of the product registration certificate number. This occurs when reference_id_field is not configured as the unique identifier field for the corresponding product, and the internal ID of the knowledge base file is used by default.
Previous traceability information is lost during multi-turn conversation citations. This happens when retention of traceability fields in multi-turn conversation history is not enabled in the context recall configuration. Associated identifiers are lost when context is truncated.

How to Verify Successful Configuration

Upload a medical device registration certificate document. After parsing is triggered, view the parsed field list to confirm that the field specified by reference_id_field has been correctly extracted.
Initiate an investment research query. View the citation module in the returned results to confirm that traceability information includes product name, registration certificate number, and official source name.
Switch to variable reference mode. Embed the temperature parameter in the custom prompt to verify that the parameter takes effect during conversation generation.
Import a newly released medical device approval announcement. View the knowledge base synchronization records to confirm that new data has completed traceability binding.
