Carmat withdraws initial request to resume artificial heart implants
(Reuters) - Artificial heart maker Carmat said on Monday it had decided to withdraw its initial request to France's national drugs agency (ANSM) to resume trial implantations. ANSM ordered Carmat in December to suspend further implantations following the death of a fifth patient in October. "The patient’s death was due to an interruption in the power supply system, following incorrect battery handling by the patient, as a result of which the prosthesis stopped functioning," Carmat said.
