About - ECM Medical

ECM Medical is an international medical diagnostic device company based in Hong Kong, China and the US, with offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Minneapolis and San Francisco. The senior management of the company is a mix of American and Chinese executives with decades of experience at medical device, life science, and investment companies in both China and the United States.

ECM Medical partners with international healthcare firms to bring the best diagnostic products to market and works to ensure the products have the best access to Asia and Australasia.

ECM licenses products approved in their home countries and then performs and funds the steps necessary to achieve China FDA approval before marketing and selling those products across China. ECM Medical provides western medical device companies with an additional revenue stream without the investment and management distractions normally associated with selling medical device products in the China markets.

ECM Medical also has a consumer products division that follows the same method of licensing products from western companies and distributing them in China, Hong Kong and Macau.
