The technology's versatility allows seamless integration into existing workflows, even amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) released findings from a study comparing the Nellcor™ Bedside SpO2 Patient Monitoring System and Masimo Radical-7® Pulse CO-Oximeter. The study indicated that Nellcor delivered a statistically significant faster stable oxygen saturation reading in newborns, averaging 15 seconds, compared to 27 seconds for Masimo. Additionally, heart rate discrepancies revealed Masimo often reported false bradycardia, while Nellcor closely aligned with ECG readings. This enhanced accuracy could impact neonatal resuscitation outcomes, adhering to neonatal resuscitation guidelines.
Medtronic has expanded its radial artery access portfolio by acquiring RIST Neurovascular. This portfolio includes the first catheter designed for neurointerventions via the radial artery, enhancing Medtronic's capabilities in treating brain aneurysms and other neurovascular conditions. The Rist 079 Radial Access Guide Catheter and Selective Catheter have received FDA 501(k) clearance. Medtronic has completed over 80 cases with positive feedback from physicians, aiming to further develop this portfolio. Although initial revenue contributions are expected to be low, the acquisition aligns with Medtronic's long-term financial objectives.
Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) announced FDA approval for its DiamondTemp™ Ablation (DTA) system, designed to treat recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients unresponsive to drug therapy. The DTA system is the first temperature-controlled, irrigated radiofrequency ablation system utilizing diamonds, which enhances thermal conductivity and allows for efficient energy delivery. The approval follows the successful DIAMOND-AF trial, showing 96.7% freedom from complications in the DTA group. This innovation positions Medtronic to expand its portfolio and meet the needs of AF patients.
Medtronic has initiated the ADAPT-PD trial, the first study to explore the safety and efficacy of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's Disease. The trial includes 36 participants across 12 centers in North America, Europe, and Canada. It aims to compare aDBS with standard continuous deep brain stimulation (cDBS) based on patient-reported outcomes over 15 months. The Percept PC device, FDA-approved in June 2020, enables this investigational feature to automatically adjust stimulation based on brain signals. Positive clinical outcomes from ADAPT-PD could enhance Medtronic's positioning in the neuromodulation market.
The Foundry has successfully completed the first-in-human procedure using the Half Moon Medical transcatheter mitral valve repair technology at Oregon Health and Science University as part of an FDA-approved feasibility study. The device addresses severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation, a common heart valve disease affecting approximately four million people in the U.S. The first patient has been discharged and is recovering as anticipated. This innovative solution offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, providing a significant advancement in heart valve repair.
