Episode Synopsis

Heart failure is a prevalent condition that requires effective management and monitoring to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Shifamed portfolio company Adona Medical recently introduced its next-generation heart failure platform. Fast Five hosts Sean Whooley and Danielle Kirsh detail the technology that is featured in the system and how it works to enhance patient care.

The FDA clearance of Tandem Diabetes Care's Mobi durable automated insulin pump reflects the ongoing advancements in diabetes management and the integration of technology into treatment options. Learn how Tandem's new technology differs from its existing platforms and how it stacks up against other competitors already on the market.

Stryker announced this week that it launched its Q Guidance System with cranial guidance software. This launch comes on the heels of last week’s Ortho Q fully autonomous guidance system launch. In today's episode, Whooley explains what the system is designed for and some of the technology behind the guidance software.

ECG interpretation software can assist healthcare professionals in analyzing electrocardiogram results, potentially aiding in detecting and diagnosing cardiac abnormalities. The FDA cleared AccurKardia's ECG interpretation software just this week. Hear about the features and benefits of the system and the clinical data that support its use in this episode.

The FDA labeled a recall of Megadyne electrode products manufactured by Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon Class I, the most serious kind. Whooley and Kirsh discuss the reason behind the recall, how many devices are affected and if there have been reports of injury from use of the devices.
