Abiomed Notes 1st Patients, Including a COVID-19 Patient Are Treated with ECMO Technology
The system can help provide oxygenation to patients suffering from cardiogenic shock or respiratory failure from ARDS, H1N1, SARS, or COVID-19. When used with the Impella heart pump, it can unload the heart and oxygenate the body, a combination therapy known as ECpella.

Abiomed Receives FDA Clearance for the Abiomed Breethe OXY-1 System™
The ECMO system provides cardiopulmonary bypass support for patients whose lungs can no longer provide sufficient end-organ oxygenation. The 510(k) clearance is to pump, oxygenate, and remove carbon dioxide from blood during cardiopulmonary bypass for up to six hours.

FDA EUA Issued for Impella Heart Pumps to Provide Unloading Therapy to COVID-19 Patients
“The early clinical evidence continues to accrue in favor of including left ventricular unloading in many patients on ECMO,” said Christian Bermudez, MD, surgical director, lung transplantation and ECMO, and professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania. “The superior clinical outcomes from the combination of Impella and ECMO are likely the result of reducing the stress on the myocardium and work required of the left ventricle, also reducing secondary lung injury due to pulmonary congestion.”

Impella Heart Pump Large Multi-Center Study in Japan Update
The study, conducted with oversight by 10 Japanese professional societies, including the Japanese Circulation Society (JCS), is the first to use the Japanese Registry for Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Devices (J-PVAD) to investigate the efficacy and safety of Impella.
