BORDEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FineHeart today announced that it has been named by FierceMedTech as one of 2018’s Fierce 15 med tech companies, designating it as one of the most promising private med tech companies in the industry.

FineHeart’s technology, the ICOMS (Implantable Cardiac Output Management System), is dedicated to the treatment of severe heart failure patients: it is a novel, wirelessly powered, fully implantable, pulsatile mechanical circulatory support device that is able to optimize cardiac output while preserving the heart’s innate contractility. The overreaching goal is to restore normal cardiac output and allow heart failure patients to return to a normal quality of life.

“FineHeart is honored to be named among the ‘Fierce 15’ Med Tech Companies of 2018,” commented Arnaud Mascarell, CEO. “This recognition reflects the significant commercial potential of ICOMS for the treatment of heart failure, the second leading cause of mortality in G20 countries. The ICOMS will not only compete with existing devices but will also extend to currently unaddressed heart failure populations.”

The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being “fierce” – championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition. This is FierceMedTech’s 7th annual Fierce 15 selection.
