magAssist Presents MoyoAssist® at ESAO 2024, Advancing Global Dialogue in Artificial Organ Technology

From September 11–14, 2024, the 50th Congress of the European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) was held in Aachen, Germany, bringing together over 400 experts in biomedical engineering, cardiology, and translational science to explore the latest advancements in artificial organ technology.

During the event, Dr. Po-Lin Hsu, CEO of magAssist, presented recent developments of MoyoAssist®, a fully magnetically levitated extracorporeal ventricular assist device (VAD). The presentation generated interest among researchers and clinicians for its design rationale and early clinical results.

In a separate invited session, Dr. Chiahao Hsu, Senior Director of Science & Innovation at magAssist, shared an overview of the company's R&D strategy and emerging technologies. Her talk emphasized the role of engineering-clinical collaboration in driving innovation and improving access to mechanical circulatory support (MCS) worldwide.

About MoyoAssist®

MoyoAssist® is a next-generation extracorporeal VAD developed by magAssist since 2017. Featuring full magnetic levitation, the device minimizes mechanical wear and blood trauma while ensuring stable circulatory support for patients with acute heart failure.

In April 2024, MoyoAssist® officially entered clinical use after receiving Innovative Device Designation from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The system has been validated through comprehensive R&D and clinical evaluation, offering a safe, effective option for temporary ventricular support.
