BEIJING, Feb 10 (Reuters) - China has approved private equity firms Blackstone BX.N and TPG's TPG.O acquisition of medical diagnostics firm Hologic HOLX.O, according to a list of deal approvals from the country's market regulator released on Tuesday.
Hologic, which develops and distributes medical imaging and diagnostic products for women's healthcare, has manufacturing operations and a partnership in China.

Blackstone and TPG announced in October they would take Hologic private for $18.3 billion including debt, in the largest medical devices deal in almost two decades.
