“Patients with heart failure and their caregivers have few options outside of a standard weight scale or a costly and invasive implant. The comprehensive health assessment from the Cardiac Scale provides metric-driven, personalised care to those in need.

“This FDA 510(k) clearance is an important milestone, allowing us to expand access in support of our goal to keep people with fluid management conditions healthier and out of the hospital.”

According to the company, more than six million adults have heart failure in the US, which causes 12 million clinic visits and 1.2 million hospitalisations every year.

Hemodynamic changes that result in fluid accumulation are the reason for more than 90% of these hospitalisations.
