About HeartWare
HeartWare develops and manufactures miniaturized implantable heart pumps, or Left Ventricular Assist Devices, designed to treat patients suffering from advanced heart failure. The Company is developing smaller and less invasive pumps, which it believes will be the key to unlocking the potential of a large and underserved market. The HeartWare(R) LVAS is a full-output pump designed to be implanted in the chest, avoiding the abdominal surgery generally required to implant competing devices. The pump is currently the subject of an international clinical trial involving five investigational centres in Europe and Australia. A clinical trial in the U.S. is expected to commence shortly following receipt of conditional approval of an IDE in early May 2008.
