HEARTWARE LIMITED ASX: HTW - Introduction to Heartware - Mr Howard Leibman, Director of Corporate development



About HEARTWARE LIMITED

HeartWare is developing a family of proprietary circulatory assist devices to treat patients with congestive heart failure. HeartWare's lead device, the HVAD, commenced human clinical trials in March 2006. First sales are anticipated in late 2007. With a volume of 45cc, the HVAD is the smallest "3rd generation" pump and the only full output device implantable within the pericardial space.

In parallel with the HVAD clinical development, HeartWare is pursuing its MVAD program, aimed at developing a family of miniaturized cardiac assist devices, implantable by minimally invasive surgical techniques. The current MVAD prototype, approximately one tenth the volume of the HVAD, commenced animal studies in August 2005.

HeartWare listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: HTW) on 31 January 2005 after successfully raising A$32.4 million (US$24.95 million). HeartWare's Head Office is located in Sydney, Australia.
