Focused on Progress. Committed to Making a Difference. Our goal: To meaningfully extend the lives of heart failure patients by dramatically enhancing their quality of life. “Prior to the HVAD® System, life was hard; I could not walk, I could not play with my kids, every day was a struggle.” “This device can aid in your life and help you move forward. I am so grateful for the HVAD® Pump. I have my life back.” “I am in control of my treatment with the HVAD® System. I am now working with my heart failure, rather than it working against me.” “It’s a wonderful piece of equipment. Your life does change; you get your life back. I couldn’t be more pleased with it.” Source: actual patient quotes

Expedited Timeline for HVAD® System DT Indication PMA Submission U.S. Destination Therapy Market U.S. market shifting increasingly toward DT U.S. DT ~30% of global market Earlier submission for DT indication has potential to be a significant catalyst Premarket Approval Submission Positive trends observed in ENDURANCE2 data from regulatory reports and filings Intend to submit PMA application in mid-2016 Based on two-year data from ENDURANCE and minimum of six-month follow-up from ENDURANCE2 Data adjudication prior to submission ENDURANCE2 Primary endpoint: Incidence of neurologic injury at 12 months on the originally implanted device 465 patients enrolled at 50 U.S. centers Six-month follow-up complete Feb. 2016 One-year follow-up complete Aug. 2016
Strong Market Appeal of HVAD® System HVAD® has been the most-implanted LVAD internationally for the past 3+ years Size advantage continues to resonate strongly Balancing R&D spend to further extend the HVAD System’s competitive position: Improved surgical tools New electronic capabilities Leveraging algorithms (Lavare) Evaluating additional enhancements Physicians initiating additional post-approval studies
HVAD® System: Expanding Indications & Geographies LATERAL - 75% patients enrolled - Enrollment completion expected in Q1 ‘16 Japan - BTT filing expected in ‘16 Canada - HVAD BTT commercial approval in April 2015 Lavare Cycle - Available internationally - Pending FDA approval
Lighter and thoughtfully designed peripherals to enhance patient quality of life Palä Patient Peripherals MVAD® Pump Exclusively for Clinical Investigation. Investigational device to be used by Qualified Investigators Only. CAUTION: Investigational Device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use. The MVAD® System Has Breakthrough Potential Small size enables less invasive implant and improved anatomical fit Advanced impeller technology for reduced sheer MVAD® Impeller
qPulse™ Cycle Exclusively for Clinical Investigation. Investigational device to be used by Qualified Investigators Only. CAUTION: Investigational Device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use. Customizable speed adjustments (3 settings) Designed to promote aortic valve opening, enable ventricular washing and reduce bleeding complications
MVAD® System Clinical Update Completed controller fix and software enhancements Pump thrombus events observed in late December – appear different in nature than earlier events Absence of stroke, right heart failure and driveline infection to date very promising Observations: MVAD is proving efficient and powerful and result is some patients having sustained suction, which appear to lead to thrombus Significant speed change of qPulse™ appears to increase the rate of suction Patients with qPulse off did not experience significant suction and had no thrombus events Next steps reviewed with Investigators: Turn off qPulse on all patients, monitor to confirm suction reduction Improve suction alarm to identify events sooner Goal of submitting to competent authorities requesting restart Additional activities in parallel: Evaluating other algorithms that could reduce pump sensitivity Assessing more moderate pulsatility modes Incorporating external pump designer to aid evaluation
