Fineheart is a French medical device company focused on creating innovative technologies in the cardiovascular space. The patented Fineheart invention, the ICOMS FlowMaker® (Implantable Cardiac Output Management System), is the first fully intraventricular, wireless flow accelerator that provides physiological support synchronized with the heart's natural contractions. It respects the natural blood flow and does not require aortic bypass surgery. It is the first miniaturized device - barely 10 cm in size - that is adjustable to patients' needs, like a pacemaker to treat patients with varying degrees of severity. It has no external driveline as it is recharged via a wireless transcutaneous energy transfer system (TET). The device is implanted using a minimally invasive beating-heart procedure, commonly performed by cardiac surgeons, and lasts on average 90 minutes. Heart failure (HF) is the second leading cause of death in the US and in Europe. It is a disease with high mortality rates.
