The HVAD System difference

An Essential Part of every heart failure program

The HVAD System is changing the way heart failure is treated due to excellent survival, low complication rates and improved quality of life. Recent publications have shown the HVAD System offers:

LOW COMPLICATION RATESLow rates of bleeding and infection compared to other BTT clinical trials

Accommodates the

Broadest Range of procedures and patient typesOne 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.

PATIENT BODY TYPES

PORTABLE EQUIPMENT FOR AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLEMobility

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

• Lightest weight patient system available today

• Simple “plug and play” adapters provide mobility at home, in the car or on the go

• A pair of batteries provides mobile power for up to 12 hours

• Total weight for travel is 50% less than other commercially available VAD systems

Small Frame

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

Unrivaled Versatility with ease of implantation

Pericardial Placement:

• Pump position stability even with changes to body habitus

• Less extensive incision • Elimination of pump pocket• Driveline exit site options

SIMPLE 3-STEP TREATMENT

“In my experience, implantation of the HVAD System is easy to perform and causes minimal surgical trauma. I also find the HVAD Pump to be suitable for implantation in the broadest range of patient types.”

Customized surgical tools and accessories facilitate a simple, 3-step implantation procedure.

Enables clinicians to more effectively manage their patientsThe 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.

• Clear and actionable instructions• Customizable alarms provide

early warning of potential issues• Self monitoring controller alerts

for issues

• Real time data allows the MCS team to optimize patient management

• Historical device trends available for review as needed

• Log files provide additional information to enhance understanding of the clinical scenario and to troubleshoot patient and equipment issues10

• 24 hour support and analysis from HeartWare experts

“The HeartWare peripherals reduce training time because the controller is easy to understand. The simple connections and clear messages allow patients and caregivers to quickly gain confidence with the system.”

A BETTER WAY TO LEARN, TRAIN, AND MANAGE.

“The HVAD System not only has excellent clinical outcomes, but it is easy to use and simple for patients to learn. The user-friendly system is unique among LVAD technologies, providing valuable real-time information about pump function which can be used to optimize device performance and improve patient management.”
