Catalyst behind Thoratec spike higher unclear
The catalyst behind the spike higher in shares of Thoratec (THOR) is unclear to traders and investors. The medical device maker focused on advanced heart failure patients rose as high $62.05 in early trading and its shares remain up 11%, or $5.48, to $54.29. Some vague takeover chatter surfaced, with St. Jude Medical (STJ) as the speculated buyer, but buyout rumors are often the "go-to" reason when stocks spike. Often the moves on rumors are less substantial than Thoratec's spike today. The company's close competitor HeartWare (HTWR) is not seeing any unusual trading thus far today, falling 36c to $78.81 in early trading.

UPDATE: FDA Allows Wider Use Of Thoratec Heart-Pumping Device

UPDATE: FDA Allows Wider Use Of Thoratec Heart-Pumping Device
(Updated to add information on study used to support approval starting in sixth paragraph.)
By Jennifer Corbett Dooren
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)
The Food and Drug Administration Wednesday granted wider approval for a heart-pumping device made by Thoratec Corp. (THOR), allowing the device to be used in severely ill heart-failure patients who can't receive a heart transplant.
Until now the company's HeartMateII device had been approved for use in patients awaiting heart transplants.
The product, known as a left-ventricular assist device, is implanted inside the body and is designed to help the heart pump blood through the body. The device is run by an external battery pack that is worn around a patient's waist.
An older device, HeartMate XVE, is approved for use in heart-failure patients who aren't candidates for heart transplants, but is much larger than the newer device, and its pumping mechanism can be heard outside the body. The older HeartMate also can't be used in children or women. The new HeartMateII version is about seven times smaller and is almost silent.
The American Heart Association estimates that about 2,100 heart transplants are performed annually in the U.S., and that there are about 150,000 patients with advanced heart failure. In earlier stages of heart failure, patients are managed with medication or other devices such as defibrillators, but as the disease progresses there are few treatment options.
The approval was based on a study that compared patients receiving the HeartMateII device to patients receiving the older HeartMate XVE. The study involved 200 patients, of whom 134 were implanted with the newer device and 66 with the older device.
The main study goal looked at how many patients, after two years, remained free from a stroke or repeat surgery to replace or repair the device. After two years, 62, or 46%, of patients receiving the newer device reached the study goal, compared with 7, or 11%, of patients who received the older device.
Looking at just survival, 68% of patients with the newer device were alive one year after receiving the device, compared with 55% who received the older device. After the second year, 58% of patients with the new device were alive, compared with 24% of the patients with the older device.
The FDA said Thoratec
is being required to conduct a postapproval study to further evaluate the device's performance.

EMDF COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2004--E Med Future, Inc. (OTCBB:EMDF - News) is hosting a luncheon for dignitaries and Ambassadors from more than 20 African nations for a formal introduction of NeedleZap®, a device that disintegrates used injection needles at their point of use. The event will take place at the University Club of Washington this Friday, November 19, 2004, from Noon until 2:00 p.m.
Dr. Lamine Ba, Ambassador of Senegal, who recently learned about NeedleZap® and has already endorsed the product to the Senegalese Ministry of Health, was integral in the organization of the meeting. According to the most recent report from the United Nations, an estimated 25 million people are infected with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. Senegal, in contrast, has done well in its fight to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS. The country has an infection rate of approximately 2 percent, one of the lowest on the African continent. For that reason, Dr. Ba felt strongly that other members of the African diplomatic community should learn about NeedleZap®.
"To be effective against curtailing the spread of HIV/AIDS, you have to look at all the root causes," said Dr. Ba, E Med's Guest of Honor at the event. "The re-use of contaminated needles is just one of many problems African countries have to combat if progress is to be made against this deadly disease. That's why it's important to hold this forum where the benefits of NeedleZap® can be explained and demonstrated."
