“The pre-operative insight provided by FEops HEARTguide™ is powerful and can help me to optimize decision making for selecting optimal device size and position,” said Dr Jacqueline Saw, Vancouver General Hospital, Canada. “FEops HEARTguide™ is an intuitive platform I can use to discuss cases with the entire heart team to streamline my pre-op planning workflow.”

“FDA authorization of FEops HEARTguide™ is a significant milestone as this is the first Interventional Cardiovascular Implant Simulation Software Device cleared on the US market,” said Peter Mortier, PhD, co-founder and CTO of FEops. “Research on this technology began more than 10 years ago. We have continued to develop it with the goal of helping healthcare professionals identify the most appropriate treatment strategy for each patient precisely, safely and efficiently. This De Novo clearance is only a first step, and we are already preparing for FDA 510(k) submissions for FEops HEARTguide™ LAAo workflow with Abbott’s Amplatzer™ Amulet™ device and Boston Scientific’s WATCHMAN FLX™ device.”

*The Owner/Operator Number for this Registration is: 10082838 and the listing number: DEN200030.

FEops HEARTguide™ is a one-in-its-kind procedure planning platform for structural heart interventions that provides physicians with unique insights to evaluate device sizing and positioning pre-operatively.
