Help Your Patients Find Hope for Living Better with Heart Failure Using Optimizer® Smart Mini

The Optimizer Smart and its successor, the Optimizer® Smart Mini, are minimally invasive, implantable devices that deliver a proprietary therapy to patients with heart failure. CCM® therapy is a unique treatment alternative for a specific population of heart failure patients. Both devices include an implantable stimulation device, which is similar in size to a pacemaker, and an external charging station. The device has a long battery life of 20 years. The Optimizer Smart was one of the first cardiac devices to be granted Breakthrough Technology designation by the FDA. It received a unanimous positive vote on benefit-risk of the device, and ultimately received FDA approval in March of 2019. The Optimizer® Smart and Optimizer® Smart Mini are the only FDA-approved devices in the United States or elsewhere for the delivery of CCM® therapy. The device is intended to improve the lives of patients suffering from heart failure.
