USAMedx

What USAMedx does

USAMedx (USA Medical Electronix, Inc.) is a privately held medical device design and manufacturing company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Norcross, Georgia. The company designs and manufactures electronic devices, equipment, software, and systems for medical and life-safety applications, operating under ISO 13485:2015-certified quality systems and FDA-sanctioned design controls. Its product portfolio centers on life-safety electronic devices for the fire service industry, including a heads-up display (HUD) designed for integration inside firefighter masks, for which President Tom Kuutti holds 3 patents and a 1st Place Crystal Globe Award from Product Design & Development's international design competition.

The company is led by a five-person executive team blending regulated medical, electronics manufacturing, and clinical expertise: Tom Kuutti (President, former CEO of HUDstar Systems), Phillip Tran (VP, founder of a Norcross-based EMS firm serving Panasonic and Georgia Power & Light), Mauri Korhonen (Secretary-Treasurer, 40+ years at Ingenico, Fuji, and Mosler), Chris Smith (CFO, CPA), and Dr. Michael Hoosien (CMO, Cleveland Clinic-trained cardiologist). Manufacturing relies on state-of-the-art SMT automation and lean six-sigma principles, with the company's engineering/R&D program focused on disruptive rather than incremental innovation.

USAMedx targets two primary customer segments: healthcare providers/hospitals/EMS and fire service/first responder organizations. Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales of medical electronic devices, one-time software licensing for medical software systems, and potentially engineering/R&D services, with quote-based pricing negotiated through direct enterprise sales. The company has begun expanding internationally via a strategic partnership with Emergency Services Academy Finland, and maintains an investor-facing data room and video portal on its corporate website suggesting active capital formation activity. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors are publicly disclosed.
