(TheNewswire)
Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - July 11, 2025 –Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (“Ventripoint” or the“Corporation”),(TSXV:VPT) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding termsheet with Lishman Global Inc. outlining the exclusive ,non-transferable license of Ventripoint technology for use withinLishman’s echocardiography image platform in the People’s Republicof China including the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong andMacao (the “Territory”).
Previously, Lishman’s Chinese subsidiary had received CFDA approval and a Certificate of Production(CoP) from the CFDA in the People’s Republic of China forthe VMS+ product used foranalysis of the right ventricle (RV) only of the heart. The subsidiary has a GMP certifiedmanufacturing facility in China that is able to produce at a scalecapable of addressing the Chinese market.
Upon execution, the new license will enable
Lishman and its subsidiaries to fully integrate
VMS+ 4.0 within its cart-based and hybrid echocardiography platforms
and to market the technology within the Territory. The final license
will specify annual minimum volumes once CFDA approval has been
secured. Lishman has placed a purchase order for VMS+ components
needed to support the manufacture of systems sufficient to support
validation of the product and submission to CFDA. Lishman has
committed to an investment into Ventripoint.
“We appreciate the ongoing commitment of our Chinese
partners to VMS+,” stated Hugh MacNaught, President and CEO.
“Heart disease remains the number one healthcare issue in China
with nearly twice the rate of hospital admissions for cardiovascular
conditions than in North America. China has a higher rate of use of
echocardiograms than in North America and is expected to benefit from
both the performance improvements inherent to VMS+ that enable greater
accuracy of echo studies and the ability of the system to work with
sparse data that should reduce the number of repeat studies. Upon CFDA
approval all 32,000 hospitals in China and its territories will gain
awareness of a 2D echocardiography system that generates volumetric
results with similar levels of accuracy to cMRI.”
“We are looking forward to working closely with
Ventripoint to integrate VMS+ within our platforms, secure CFDA
approval, and actively market our solution to the Chinese clinical
community” stated Paul Gibson, CTO of Lishman.
Pre-marketing efforts are underway in the Chinese
market with the objective of establishing a presence within each of
the 22 provinces plus the Special Administrative Regions within the
country. There are over 2,500 Tier 1 hospitals and a total of 32,000
hospitals, with over 1,000 new hospitals currently under
