INTERMACS Quarterly Report Implants: June 23, 2006 to September 30, 2013

The Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support is a North American registry established in 2005 for patients who are receiving mechanical circulatory support device therapy to treat advanced heart failure. INTERMACS was established as a joint effort of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), clinicians, scientists and industry representatives in conjunction with Dr. James K. Kirklin and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. This quarterly report includes clinical information from 9791 adult patients receiving primary prospective implants between June 23, 2006 and September 30, 2013.

1 Critical cardiogenic shock describes a patient who is 'crashing and burning', in which a patient has life-threatening hypotension and rapdily escalating inotropic pressor support. 2 Progressive decline describes a patient who has been demonstrated 'dependent' on inotropic support but nonetheless shows signs of continuing deterioration. 3 Stable but inotrope dependent: describes a patient who is clinically stable on mild-moderate doses of intravenous inotropes. 4 Resting symptoms describes a patient who is at home on oral therapy but frequently has symptoms of congestion at rest or with ADL. 5 Exertion Intolerant describes a patient who is comfortable at rest but unable to engage in any activity, living predominantly within the house or household. 6 Exertion Limited also describes a patient who is comfortable at rest without evidence of fluid overload, but who is able to do some mild activity. 7 Advanced NYHA Class 3 describes a patient who is clinically stable with a reasonable level of comfortable activity, despite history of previous decompensation that is not recent.

Bridge to Transplant (BTT) Likely - patient in whom the transplant evaluation has not been completed, but no contra-indications are anticipated, or in whom a current contra-indication is anticipated to resolve rapidly. 3. Bridge to Transplant (BTT) Moderate - patient in whom the transplant evaluation has not been completed, but with some potential concerns that might prevent eligibility. 4. Bridge to Transplant (BTT) Unlikely - patient in whom major concerns that might prevent eligibility have already been identified. 5. Destination Therapy - the patient is definitely not eligible for transplant. 6. Bridge to Recovery (BTR) - use of a durable device to allow recovery from chronic cardiac failure (at least 3 months in duration). 7. Rescue Therapy - use of a durable device to support resolution from an acute event without major previous cardiac dysfunction. 8. Other.

Exhibit 19: Adverse Event Rates for Patients Receiving a Primary Prospective Implant - Continuous Flow LVADs (with or without RVAD implant at time of LVAD operation) Exhi bit 19: Adverse Event Rates for Pati ents R ecei ving a Primar y Prospecti ve Implant - Conti nuous Fl ow LVADs ( with or without RVAD i mplant at ti me of LVAD operation) The following table summarizes adverse events in patients receiving primary prospective implants between June 23, 2006 and September 30, 2013. Event count is the number of episodes observed for each event type allowing multiple episodes per patient. Patient count is the number of patients experiencing at least one episode of a particular event type. Patient percentage is the percent of patients experiencing a specific event type. Early and late event counts are the number of episodes observed either within three months post-implant or after three months post-implant, respectively. Event rates are calculated by dividing the number of episodes observed for each event type during a period by the total amount of follow-up time the patients were observed during the period. The total follow-up time for the early period was 23253.17 patient months and the total follow-up time for the late period was 91736.73 patient months. All rates are reported in episodes per 100 patient months.

Exhibit 20: Follow-up Compliance Exhi bit 20: F ollow- up Compliance Site compliance is determined by the percentage of all follow-up forms that are due during this reporting period that have been completed. This calculation has been updated to include ALL follow-up forms expected for ALL patients and ALL devices. Only sites that have at least 10 follow-up forms expected are included in this figure. INTERMACS has defined required compliance as 90%.
