Picard Medical, Inc.
- Emperor TAH uses identical blood-contacting materials as FDA-approved SynCardia STAH, replaces pneumatic driver with electromechanical system.
- In vitro testing at 125 BPM demonstrates Frank-Starling autoregulation and afterload independence equivalent to pneumatic STAH.
- First acute porcine implantation (3 models) separated from bypass without complications, delivering stable hemodynamic support.
- Emperor TAH designed for full implantability with transcutaneous energy transfer and internal batteries, eliminating driveline.
- SynCardia STAH has over 2,100 implants; Emperor aims to provide next-generation fully implantable TAH platform.
