Case Study: Cancion® Cardiac Recovery System

Disease Application: Congestive Heart Failure

Client: Levitronix (Orqis)

Background
Levitronix Cancion® Cardiac Recovery System (CRS™) provides a novel treatment for congestive heart failure using a rest-to-recovery model. Minnetronix was chosen to design, develop and manufacture the controller, in part, because of our extensive experience with blood pumps and other cardiovascular support products. Our ability to rapidly prototype the device allowed Levitronix to meet aggressive milestones in their project schedule.
