Description of Business

A medical device company with two lines of business:

• Commercialization of the MYOTECH CSS

– A novel circulatory support system, with unique advantages in providing circulatory support and recovery in patients with acute heart failure

• Licensing of technologies for MRI Safety and Image Compatibility for various medical devices

– Significant and disruptive technology that will provide a competitive advantage for stents, pacemakers, CRT devices, ICDs and neurostimulators

4 •

The Myotech Opportunity

The Problem

Acute heart failure (following massive heart attack or

cardiac arrest) is one of the largest underserved

markets in healthcare.

Existing Solutions

Each of the following approaches has significant limitations:

• CPR / defibrillation

• Traditional medical therapy

• IABP (intra-aortic balloon pump)

• VAD (ventricular assist device)

5 •

The Myotech Circulatory Support System

How it Works

• Polymer cup that slips over the heart

• Installed via a small chest incision

• Actuated by a small external driver

• Sustains natural pulsatile flow

• Avoids bleeding, clotting, infection

This technology has already saved human lives.

Approach: Pump the heart without contacting circulating blood.

6 •

The Myotech Advantage

• No blood contact – minimizes the risk of clotting, stroke, bleeding and

infection

• Immediate resuscitation and support – installs in about 3 minutes

• Can be installed by a general surgeon at most hospitals, not just specialized

cardiac centers

• Recovery and simple removal, or bridge to definitive therapy

• Unique advantages for unserved/underserved patient populations, including

women and children

• Cost-effective

7 •

The Expanded Marketplace

• Currently, in the US, there are

– 67 active destination therapy centers

– 120 transplant centers

– 960 specialized cardiac centers

– But 6,800 hospitals

• The Myotech CSS:

– is technically simple to install,

– enables use in a much larger segment of the 6,800 hospitals in the US

– reaches the patients where they present, not only at the most advanced centers

8 •

Product Pipeline

• First Generation Product – Acute Resuscitation

– Support patients with acute heart failure from acute MI / cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest

– Total potential patient population > 300,000 per year in the US alone

– Addressable WW market of over $4.5 billion

• Future Potential

– Evolutionary product generations will address therapeutic recovery and destination therapy market segments, additional multi-billion dollar opportunities

Clinical and Pre-clinical ResultsUsing Early Prototypes

1. Supported 45-year old for 2 days following massive myocardial infarction.

2. Supported 71-year old for 2 days following otherwise successful open heart surgery.

3. Supported 56-year old for 2-1/2 days as a bridge to successful heart transplantation.

4. Supported 18-year old for 7-1/2 days until heart healed from a viral myocarditis.

5. Supported 44-year old for 84 days with normal neurologic function.

All with no damage to the native heart or by-pass grafts

More than 700 animal experiments conducted to evolve and evaluate the technology (over wide spectrum of applications).

The Opportunity:MRI Safety and Image Compatibility

The ProblemA large number of medical devices have limitationswhen used in conjunction with MRI.• MRI Safety

– Some devices are contraindicated and unsafe for use with MRI

– These devices include pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, neurostimulators and others

• MRI Image Compatibility– Many devices are safe but interfere with MRI imaging– These devices include stents, vena cava filters and others

15 •

The Opportunity:MRI Safety and Image Compatibility

The Solutions

• Technologies for MRI Safety

– Discrete resonant circuits to block RF induced heating

– Lead wire winding to reduce energy transfer / heating

– Low pass filter for heat reduction

– Wire looping to minimize induced voltages

• Technologies for MRI Image Compatibility

– Resonant circuit is tuned to the frequency of the MRI

– Novel device designs to minimize image artifacts from:

o Shielding (Faraday Cage effect), and

o Materials (magnetic susceptibility artifacts)
