NUERALINK'S FIRST-IN-HUMAN CLINICAL TRIAL IS OPEN FOR RECRUITMENT The PRIME Study (short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface) – a groundbreaking investigational medical device trial for our fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) – aims to evaluate the safety of our implant (N1) and surgical robot (R1) and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with paralysis to control external devices with their thoughts. During the study, the R1 Robot will be used to surgically place the N1 Implant’s ultra-fine and flexible threads in a region of the brain that controls movement intention. Once in place, the N1 Implant is cosmetically invisible and is intended to record and transmit brain signals wirelessly to an app that decodes movement intention. The initial goal of our BCI is to grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone. The PRIME Study is being conducted under the investigational device exemption (IDE) awarded by the FDA in May 2023 and represents an important step in our mission to create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs. Those who have quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may qualify. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dAD4eJSq #Neuralink #BCI #clinicaltrialALS #PRIME

Grab your morning ☕️ as you read through our Thursday #MedTechNews roundup! Abbott's Heartmate device, acquired in 2017, is crucial for end-stage heart failure patients, often serving as a bridge to transplantation. With Medtronic's exit from the market, Abbott's Heartmate 3 LVAD is the FDA-endorsed alternative. Despite its life-saving potential, the device carries risks, including death and stroke. Abbott recently recalled version 1.0.32 of the Heartmate Touch communication system due to software issues that could affect device control during procedures or monitoring, impacting 1,560 devices distributed in the U.S. from May 7, 2020, to Dec. 18, 2023. https://lnkd.in/gS9HGFns Medtronic has merged its patient monitoring and respiratory intervention divisions into a new multibillion-dollar arm called acute care and monitoring, reversing previous plans for spinoff or sale. This shift underscores the company's renewed focus on data-driven healthcare solutions. Exiting the hospital ventilator business due to declining profitability post-COVID-19, Medtronic is doubling down on category leadership and investing in R&D to tackle critical clinical challenges. Frank Chan, head of ACM, emphasises: "We've never stopped competing, managing, or discussing synergies. We're enthusiastic about our future." https://lnkd.in/gBqEEhTN Moody's’s, renowned for its credit ratings and risk analysis, has released a report delving into the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the credit quality of companies within the medical device, pharmaceutical, and healthcare services sectors up to 2030. The report highlights AI's potential to enhance product offerings and efficiency and underscores benefits for larger firms with robust resources and proprietary data. However, it warns of risks such as data quality issues and cybersecurity threats, alongside uncertainties surrounding evolving regulations, which could temper AI's full benefits for credit quality. https://lnkd.in/gvG5u5sv Solventum, a newly independent company with 22,000 employees across four divisions, achieved $8.2 billion in sales and $1.35 billion in nett income in 2023. 3M will distribute 80% of Solventum's stock to shareholders, retaining the remainder, with plans to divest its stake within five years. Forecasts suggest a 4% to 6% annual growth in Solventum's market, driven by expanding health information systems valued at $9 billion, expected to grow at 6% to 8% annually. https://lnkd.in/gFV7yTxe Stay connected for the latest in #Medtech news!

The Electrophysiology market is booming, and two technologies are set to make a significant impact on patients and reshape the market landscape. PFA and LAA are the trends to watch in AFib ablation and clot prevention. By 2028, the AFib ablation market is expected to double, with PFA procedures accounting for over 60% of total cases. Medtronic and Boston Scientific are leading the way in PFA innovation, presenting a safer and more precise treatment option for patients. In LAA treatment, Abbott entered the market in 2021, and Medtronic and J&J announced acquisitions to break into the category last year. The LAA treatment space is projected to grow 20% this year and quadruple to $6b by 2030. BSC is the incumbent market leader, but differentiated innovation presents another opportunity for disruption of existing market dynamics. Exciting times are ahead for the Electrophysiology market as these two critical trends continue to evolve. Stay tuned for more updates on this rapidly evolving space. https://lnkd.in/dxzuGfz5 #Electrophysiology #MedTech #PFA #LAA #AFib #Innovation #MarketTrends #PatientOutcomes
