As part of DAIC’s continuing Thought Leadership Series, this month Editorial Director Melinda Taschetta-Millane sits down with Philip B. Adamson, MD, MSc, FACC, Chief Medical Officer of Abbott’s Heart Failure Division, to talk about health equity — starting at the beginning of clinical trials, and including how medical device manufacturers need a clear roadmap from the get-go to achieve success. Dr. Adamson is responsible for global development of Abbott’s heart failure programs. Having joined Abbott in 2015, his clinical interests focus on developing more efficient and effective disease management systems for patients with chronic heart failure, specifically focusing on remote monitoring of physiologic signals from implanted devices. He has also served as the principal investigator on the steering committees of several large randomized clinical trials over the past decade.

Mashup Score: 0BioCardia Submits for FDA Approval of Morph DNA Steerable Introducer Product Family - 5 month(s) ago
July 31, 2024 — BioCardia, Inc., a developer of cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, reported it has submitted a 510(k) for approval of its patented Morph DNA Steerable Introducer Sheath. This product family is intended to provide a pathway through which medical instruments, such as balloon dilatation catheters, guidewires, or other therapeutic devices, may be introduced into the peripheral vasculature or chambers and coronary vasculature of the heart. The filing for approval of this product family follows the FDA approval of BioCardia’s Helix biotherapeutic delivery Morph DNA guide system and its Avance transseptal steerable introducer, both of which incorporate Morph DNA technology. Morph DNA designs enable the tensioning elements in the catheter to rotate around the catheter shaft, allowing consistent catheter performance in any direction. The DNA name reflects this design, as these tensioning elements appear as a double
