LOW COMPLICATION RATES Low rates of bleeding and infection compared to other BTT clinical trials
• Driveline infection and sepsis were very low at 0.25 and 0.23 events/patient-year, respectively5 • Extremely low rates of bleeding requiring transfusions or reoperations at 0.19 events/patient-year5 • 84% of patients were free from GI bleeding events at 1 year3 • Very low rate of device exchange for thrombus at 0.04 events/patient-year2 • Comparable rates of neurologic events to contemporary devices in both clinical trial and commercial use4 & 5
IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE At follow up, patients implanted with the HVAD® Pump reported significant improvements in quality of life and more than 3x the distance they were able to walk in 6 minutes5

Accommodates the
Broadest Range
of procedures and patient types One of the most important steps in the treatment of advanced heart failure is determining which patients are candidates for a VAD and which system is right for them. Everything from body size and frame to potential changes in body composition are considerations when making the decision.
Small Frame
Large
Small
Average
PATIENT BODY TYPES
Abdominal obesity
The unique integrated inflow cannula of the HVAD Pump allows it to fit into small framed patients, yet the HVAD Pump is powerful enough to support large framed or obese patients. The pericardial placement ensures a stable position in the left ventricle even with ventricular and body changes that occur after implant.8
PORTABLE EQUIPMENT FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE Mobility
Ease of use
• Lightest weight patient system available today
• First controller with intuitive instructions via text-based display
• Simple “plug and play” adapters provide mobility at home, in the car or on the go
Minimal maintenance
• A pair of batteries provides mobile power for up to 12 hours
50
• Total weight for travel is % less than other commercially available VAD systems
21.7 LBS Competitor19
10.7 LBS HeartWare18
• No daily system checks, no battery calibration, and no power module19
Unrivaled Versatility with ease of implantation
Every patient is unique – both in terms of anatomy and physiology. This requires surgeons to evaluate and adjust their approach to ensure proven outcomes. The HVAD Pump’s novel design accommodates different patient needs by allowing for a versatile surgical approach in a simple 3-step procedure done within the pericardial space.20
THE HVAD ADVANTAGE Pericardial Placement:
Surgical Flexibility:
• Pump position stability even with changes to body habitus
• Compact design allows for alternative placement in patients with
11,12,13,14,15,16,17
• Less extensive incision
congenital heart disease
• Elimination of pump pocket
complex LV anatomy
• Driveline exit site options
previous cardiac surgery
• Elimination of a pump pocket minimizes concern about prior or future abdominal surgeries
SIMPLE 3-STEP TREATMENT Customized surgical tools and accessories facilitate a simple, 3-step implantation procedure.

Enables clinicians to more
effectively manage their patients The smart design of the HVAD System makes it simple to learn and manage for both the patient and their support team. The intelligent interface and supporting diagnostics offer MCS teams the tools and essential information they need to effectively manage their patients.
