Fixing Heartware?


From a friend in Miami Lakes - “They showed us all the critical projects for next year for CRHF, and there was not one LVAD project on the whole list. It feels like a funeral starting before we are dead”.

the exact process. make no decisions. spend nothing. have zero strategy. shutdown business year 2 and move work to minnesota.

track record means something
 
















































Glad to see all problems have been fixed on Heartware and no more recalls at Medtronic! DFM / DFR, hiring more engineers with Masters Degrees, and bringing in more management to provide leadership is really paying off big time and now MCS is the envy of the rest of Medtronic and the world!
 








MCS needs to get out of CRHF org the way AF broke free. Too small and different from ICD/pacer buisness, we will never get the resources we need to succeed. Better chance with Coyle making decisions on funding than Marinaro. NN won’t advocate hard and risk rocking the boat. He’ll ride this for a couple years and then declare success and move on.
