Restoration of the blood perfusion required for supplying the organs in heart failure.
Improvement of the end-organ function and of the general condition.
Transparent materials to inspect the blood-carrying components
Carmeda BioActive heparin coating to reduce thrombotic deposits.

IKUS stationary driving unit
For stationary use with the EXCOR blood pumps.
Biventricular operation in synchronous mode, asynchronous mode or with independent control of the pumps.
High degree of safety due to multiple redundancy.
