Primary outcomePrimary: The Safety of EXCOR® Pediatric Was Evaluated by Summarizing the Serious Adverse Event Rate Experienced While the Subject Was Supported on the Device. — 0.068; 0.066 Events per patient-day — p=<0.05
Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine whether use of the Berlin Heart EXCOR® Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device for bridge-to-transplant is associated with a reasonable assurance of safety and probable benefit such that the EXCOR® Pediatric merits approval by the Food and Drug Administration under a Humanitarian Device Exception (HDE).
