Bordeaux, France (June 9, 2021) – FineHeart S.A, a preclinical medical device company that has developed the ICOMS FLOWMAKER®, an Implantable Cardiac Output Management System designed to address the unmet need of patients suffering from severe heart failure, today announced that it has been chosen to present at the 66th annual ASAIO conference, which will take place on June 10 -12 at the Hilton DC Hotel in Washington, DC.
Laurent Barandon, MD, PhD, Cardiac Surgeon at the University of Bordeaux, FR, and Stephane Garrigue, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of FineHeart will present In-vivo Assessment of A Novel Ventricular Systole-synchronized, Intraventricular Propelling, Left Ventricular Assist Device For Advanced Heart Failure, selected as one of the top ten cardiac abstracts.
The Presentation will take place on, Thursday, June 10, 2021, at 8:15 am EST (14:15 CET).
The abstract will show the latest preclinical results in terms of performance and mid-term safety…
FineHeart’s technology, ICOMS FLOWMAKER®, is the first fully intraventricular, wireless flow accelerator that provides physiological support synchronized with the heart’s natural contractions. It respects the natural blood flow and does not require aortic bypass surgery. It is the first miniaturized device that is adjustable to patients’ needs, like a pacemaker to treat patients with varying degrees of severity. It has no external driveline as it is recharged via a wireless transcutaneous energy transfer system (TET). The device is implanted using a minimally invasive beating-heart procedure, commonly performed by cardiac surgeons, and lasts on average 90 minutes.
ASAIO’s annual conference globally and collaboratively promotes the development of innovative medical device technology at the crossroads of science, engineering, and medicine. Dedicated sessions are devoted to pediatric and adult mechanical circulatory support, respiratory assist, and VAD coordinator training.
