MoyoAssist® Recognized as One of the “2025 Suzhou Top Ten Industrial Scientific and Technological Achievements”

We are honored to share that MoyoAssist®, magAssist's extracorporeal, fully magnetically levitated ventricular assist device (VAD), has been selected as one of the “2025 Suzhou Top Ten Industrial Scientific and Technological Achievements.” This recognition, awarded by the Suzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, highlights the city’s most impactful innovations based on their technical maturity, industrial value, and contribution to public health.

Addressing Unmet Needs in Acute Heart Failure

Treating acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock continues to present significant clinical challenges—particularly in securing timely and reliable circulatory support. MoyoAssist® was developed to meet these urgent needs through advanced engineering and close clinical collaboration. The system integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) optimization and fully magnetically levitated pump technology to achieve high hemocompatibility and reliable performance.

Key clinical advantages include:

• Effective cardiac unloading, giving the heart time to recover

• Flexible deployment, suitable for both intraoperative and postoperative support

From Innovation to Accessibility

Following its regulatory approval, MoyoAssist® has rapidly gained inclusion in medical insurance catalogs across Jiangsu (including Suzhou), Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan, and other regions—with reimbursement rates of up to 97%. This progress marks a significant step toward making life-saving mechanical circulatory support more accessible and affordable for patients with heart failure and those awaiting heart transplantation.

Innovation Grounded in Clinical Practice

At magAssist, “Technology for Life”—guides every stage of product development. From device architecture and control design to surgical workflow, practicality and clinical relevance remain at the core. The recognition as one of Suzhou's top ten industrial achievements is a milestone, but more importantly, it serves as motivation to deepen clinical translation and deliver meaningful outcomes for patients.
