The SUNSHINE HEART C-Pulse II has the potential to be the first completely self-contained therapy for heart failure since the bi-ventricular pacer Lack of blood contact and non-obligatory feature make it the most likely candidate to leverage TETS in a mechanical circulatory assist device Pump innovation has facilitated development of a novel technology, avoiding the safety and regulatory risks of an implantable battery The system is well suited for implantation off-pump through a small sternal sparing incision, making it well suited for patients earlier in the course of heart failure Early pre-clinical testing suggests the design is performing as intended and within established safety parameters In summary 46 CAUTION: Investigational Device.
