LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today announced receipt of regulatory approvals and the start of a targeted commercial launch for the Essenz™Patient Monitor. The transformative monitoring system uses a patient-tailored approach to improve clinical efficiency and quality of patient care during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) procedures. Having recently received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance and CE Mark, LivaNova initially launched the Essenz Patient Monitor in the U.S. and Europe in hospitals that were involved in its user-centric design and development program. Additionally, the patient monitor provides important decision-making support for the perfusionist during the entire CPB procedure, is compatible with the LivaNova S5™ heart-lung machine and will be a key feature of the complete Essenz+Perfusion+System, which encompasses a next-generation heart-lung machine. The Essenz Perfusion System is currently under development and is expected to launch in stages later this year beginning with limited commercial launches.
