Indications for Use

The TransMedics Organ Care System (OCS) Heart System is indicated for the preservation of donor-after-brain-death (DBD) hearts deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of prolonged cold static cardioplegic preservation (e.g., >4 hours of cross-clamp time).

Device Story

Portable ex vivo organ perfusion system; maintains donor hearts in near-physiological, beating state during transport. System comprises Heart Console (reusable base unit), Heart Perfusion Module (HPM, disposable), and OCS Heart Solution Set. HPM provides closed circulatory system; oxygenates, warms, and circulates donor-blood based perfusate. User adjusts blood flow, solution delivery, gas flow, and temperature via console. Wireless monitor displays perfusion/pressure parameters; provides alarms for out-of-range values or sensor failures. Used by transplant teams to preserve hearts otherwise unsuitable for standard cold storage; potentially expands donor heart pool. Output informs clinical decision-making regarding heart viability for transplantation.

Clinical Evidence

PMA approval based on EXPAND Heart study (prospective, single-arm, multicenter, N=75 transplanted recipients). Primary endpoint: 30-day survival + freedom from severe PGD at 24h post-transplant. Result: 88.0% (95% CI: 78.4%, 94.4%), meeting 65% performance goal (p<0.0001). Secondary study (EXPAND Heart CAP, N=41) confirmed results. Historical PROCEED II trial (randomized, N=123) compared OCS to cold storage; results suggested OCS should supplement, not replace, cold storage for standard criteria hearts. Bench testing verified mechanical, electrical, and software performance.

Technological Characteristics

IV. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the TransMedics OCS Heart System labeling. V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The OCS Heart System, as shown in Figure 1, consists of the OCS Heart Console (Heart Console), the OCS Heart Perfusion Set (HPS), and the OCS Heart Solution Set: PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Figure 1: Components of the OCS Heart System ![img-1.jpeg](img-1.jpeg) ![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg) # Heart Console: The Heart Console is the reusable, non-sterile portable base unit for the OCS Heart System that includes the electronics, software, fluid pumping systems, monitoring systems, power supply, batteries, gas cylinder, mobile base, and Wireless Monitor. The Wireless Monitor displays perfusion and pressure parameters and allows the user to evaluate parameters and adjust specific system settings during transport of the donor heart. The Heart Console provides a rigid compartment to house and protect the HPM during transport. # HPS: The HPS consists of the Heart Perfusion Module (HPM), which is housed within and protected by the Heart Console during transport, and the disposable HPS accessories. The HPM provides a closed circulatory system to protect, maintain, and support the donor heart. It uses a physical conduit to connect to the heart, incorporates various sensors, and interfaces with the Heart Console to oxygenate, warm, and circulate the perfusate. The disposable HPS accessories are intended to: - Collect and filter the donor blood. - Prime and then infuse the OCS Heart Solution Set into the HPM. - Connect the heart to the HPM perfusion circuit. - Facilitate access through the aorta for examination of the heart. - Infuse cardioplegia to terminate the preservation. # OCS Heart Solution Set: The OCS Heart Solution Set consists of two proprietary heart preservation solutions: the OCS Priming Solution and the OCS Maintenance Solution. Additives are required at the PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data time of use that are supplied and added by the user. The OCS Heart Solution Set is not intended to be administered directly to the donor or the recipient. The OCS Heart System preserves the heart in a near-physiological, beating state by perfusing the heart with a warmed, donor-blood based solution that is supplemented with nutrients and oxygen in a controlled and protected environment, referred to as the circuit, as illustrated in Figure 2. The OCS Maintenance Solution is infused into this circuit. The heart consumes oxygen and nutrients as the blood travels from the aorta through the coronary arteries and returns to the circuit through its pulmonary artery. The OCS maintains the blood at a constant temperature, oxygenates the perfusate, and provides perfusate in a pulsatile flow. ![img-3.jpeg](img-3.jpeg) Figure 2: Schematic of the OCS Heart System Circuit The OCS Heart System controls and monitors the preservation environment. The user can adjust the blood flow rate, solution delivery rate, gas flow rate, and blood temperature within specified ranges to achieve adequate perfusion of the donor heart. The OCS Heart System also calculates and displays pertinent organ perfusion parameters, and provides alarms for parameters out of expected ranges, alarms for low gas and battery capacity, and alarms for sensor failures. ## VI. ALTERNATIVE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES There are currently no other alternatives for preservation of donor hearts deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of prolonged cold PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data static cardioplegic preservation. For patients on the donor heart waitlist, the alternative to receiving a donor heart preserved with the OCS Heart System is waiting for a donor heart preserved with cold static preservation. Each alternative has its own advantages and disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY The applicant performed a clinical study to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the OCS Heart System for preserving DBD hearts deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of prolonged cold static cardioplegic preservation (e.g., &gt;4 hours of cross-clamp time) under IDE G140111 (entitled the “EXPAND Heart” study). The data from this study were the basis for the PMA approval decision. A summary of the clinical study is presented below. ## A. Study Design The EXPAND Heart study was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study. Patients were enrolled between September 16, 2015 and March 25, 2018 at 9 investigational sites in the U.S. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through June 3, 2019. The EXPAND Heart study used an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that was instructed to notify the applicant of any safety or compliance issues and a Clinical Events Committee (CEC) that was responsible for adjudicating endpoint-related events reported during the study. An independent pathology core laboratory was used for evaluation of donor hearts that were preserved using the OCS Heart System but later turned down for transplant. ### 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Enrollment in the EXPAND Heart study was limited to donor hearts and transplant recipient patients that met the following: **Donor heart prior to preservation:** - Expected total cross-clamp time of ≥ 4 hours; or - Expected total cross-clamp time of ≥ 2 hours PLUS one or more of the following risk factors: - Donor age 45-55 years old with no coronary catheterization data; or - Donor age ≥ 55 years old; or - Left ventricular septal or posterior wall thickness of &gt;12 mm and ≤ 16 mm; or - Reported down time of ≥ 20 min, with stable hemodynamics at time of final assessment; or - Left heart ejection fraction (EF) of ≥ 40% and ≤ 50%; or - Donor angiogram with luminal irregularities with no significant coronary artery disease (CAD); or - History of carbon monoxide poisoning with good cardiac function at time of donor assessment; or - Social history of alcoholism with good cardiac function at time of donor assessment; or - History of diabetes combined with negative coronary angiogram for CAD. ## Donor heart post preservation: - Final total arterial circulating perfusate lactate level &lt; 5 mmol/L with stable lactate trend. - Stable coronary flow (CF), aortic pressure (AOP) trends within ranges below after stabilization (certain expanded criteria organs, e.g., left ventricular hypertrophy hearts, may require higher CF and/or AOP to achieve adequate perfusion): - Mean AOP: 40-100 mmHg; - CF: 400-900 ml/min. ## Recipient - day of transplant: - Registered primary heart transplant candidate. - Age ≥ 18 years old. - Signed written informed consent document and authorization to use and disclose protected health information. Donor hearts and transplant recipient patients were not permitted to enroll in the study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: ## Donor heart prior to preservation: - Angiogram proven CAD with &gt; 50% stenosis; or - Cardiogenic shock or myocardial infarction; or - Sustained terminal EF of &lt; 40%; or - Significant valve disease except for competent bicuspid aortic valve. ## Recipient - day of transplant: - Prior solid organ or bone marrow transplant; or - Chronic use of hemodialysis or diagnosis of chronic renal insufficiency; or - Multi-organ transplant. ## 2. Follow-up Schedule Follow-up time points included day of transplant, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year post transplant, and annually thereafter to 5 years post procedure.

Clinical Endpoints The primary endpoint was a composite of patient survival at 30 days post-transplant and freedom from severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD), as defined by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT), at 24 hours post-transplant. A performance goal of 65% was pre-specified for the primary endpoint. The hypothesis for the primary endpoint was as follows: $$ H_0: \pi \leq 65\% $$ $$ H_A: \pi &gt; 65\% $$ where $\pi$ represented the composite event rate. If the lower 95% confidence limit for the composite event was less than 65%, the performance goal would be met. The hypothesis was tested at a one-sided significance level of 0.05. The secondary endpoints included the following: - Patient survival at 30 days post-transplant. - Incidence of severe ISHLT PGD (left or right ventricle) in the first 24 hours post-transplant. - Rate of donor heart utilization (i.e., the percentage of donor hearts successfully transplanted after preservation and assessment on the OCS Heart System). - Incidence of heart graft-related serious adverse events (HGRSAEs) in the first 30 days post heart transplantation, defined as: - Moderate or severe PGD (left or right ventricle; not including rejection or cardiac tamponade). - Primary graft failure requiring re-transplantation. # B. Accountability of PMA Cohort At the time of database lock, a total of 93 donor hearts were preserved using the OCS Heart System and 96 recipient patients enrolled in the study. Ninety (90) patients were matched with a donor heart that was instrumented on the OCS Heart System. Sixteen (16) patients experienced a total of 18 donor heart turndowns following OCS Heart preservation, one of whom was subsequently transplanted with a second donor heart preserved on the OCS Heart System. In all, 75 patients received a donor heart preserved using the OCS Heart System. Twelve (12) of the male recipients received a donor heart from a female donor. The donor heart and recipient dispositions are summarized in Figure 3. The analyses of all study endpoints were based on the transplanted recipient population (N=75). ![img-4.jpeg](img-4.jpeg) Figure 3: Donor Heart and Recipient Dispositions - EXPAND Heart # C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters The inclusion criteria met by the transplanted donor hearts are summarized in Table 4. Many donor hearts exhibited multiple inclusion criteria. The demographics and baseline characteristics of the recipient patients are summarized in Table 5, which are typical for a heart transplant study performed in the U.S. The majority of recipients were listed as United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) status 1A $(69.3\%)$ and were on mechanical circulatory support at the time of transplant $(64.0\%)$ .

(%) ## D. Safety and Effectiveness Results ### 1. Primary Endpoint The analysis of the primary endpoint is summarized in Table 6. Among the 75 recipients of a donor heart preserved on the OCS Heart System, 66 were alive at 30 days post-transplant without severe PGD (left or right ventricle) in the first 24 hours post-transplant. Thus, the PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data primary endpoint event rate was 88.0%, with a 95% confidence interval of (78.4%, 94.4%). Since the lower bound (78.4%) of the 95% confidence interval is greater than the prespecified performance goal of 65% (p &lt; 0.0001), the null hypothesis is rejected, and the primary endpoint is met.

Secondary Endpoints Patient survival at 30 days post-transplant: The result of patient survival at 30 days post-transplant is summarized in Table 7. One of the 75 recipients of a donor heart preserved on the OCS Heart System experienced a graft failure and underwent re-transplantation using cold static cardioplegic preservation on post-operative day (POD) 6. This patient was terminated from the study. Seventy (70) of the remaining 74 recipients were alive at 30 days post-implant, which led to a patient survival rate of 94.6% at 30 days post-transplant. Table 7: Patient Survival at 30 Days Post-transplant - EXPAND Heart | Patient survival at 30 days post-transplant (N=75) | | | --- | --- | | Proportion - % (no./total no.) | 94.6% (70/74)* | | 95% CI for proportion† | (86.7%, 98.5%) | *One recipient with graft failure and re-transplant during the first 30 days was excluded. †Clopper-Pearson exact confidence interval for a binomial proportion. Incidence of severe ISHLT PGD (left or right ventricle) in the first 24 hours post-transplant: Eight (8) of the 75 recipients of a donor heart preserved on the OCS Heart System experienced a severe ISHLT PGD. Thus, the incidence of severe ISHLT PGD (left or right ventricle) in the first 24 hours post-transplant was 10.7%, as summarized in Table 8.

Other Study Observations ### Donor Heart Offer Refusals Prior to Acceptance into Study UNOS manages the national system for matching patients on the waiting list with available donor hearts. Using the combination of donor and patient information, the UNOS computer system generates a "match run," a rank-order list of patients to be offered each donor organ. When a donor organ is turned down for a matched patient, it will be offered to the next matched patient on the list. Table 11 summarizes the donor match run data available from UNOS for the 93 donor hearts preserved on the OCS Heart System. These 93 hearts were refused for transplant by other centers an average of 66 times (median 29) before being offered to an EXPAND Heart study patient and accepted.

SUMMARY OF SUPPLEMENTAL CLINICAL INFORMATION As part of the review of the PMA application, FDA also considered the supplemental clinical information summarized below. ## XI.1 EXPAND Heart Continued Access Protocol (CAP) Study ### A. Study Design The EXPAND Heart CAP study was a single-arm, prospective, multicenter study carried out under IDE G140111, with a target enrollment of 75 transplanted recipients at 8 investigational sites. #### 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Donor heart inclusion and exclusion criteria for the EXPAND Heart CAP study were similar to those of the EXPAND Heart study except that the former: - Modified the ejection fraction inclusion criterion to be “left heart EF ≥40%, but ≤50% at time of acceptance of offer” and ejection fraction exclusion criterion to be “EF consistently &lt;40%”; - Clarified the definition of “significant coronary artery disease” as being &lt;50% on angiogram; Recipient inclusion and exclusion criteria for the EXPAND Heart CAP study were the same as those of the EXPAND Heart study except that the former excluded patients with “chronic renal insufficiency” (CRI) requiring hemodialysis or renal replacement therapy, whereas the latter excluded all subjects with a diagnosis of CRI. #### 2. Follow-up Schedule Follow-up time points included day of transplant, 24 hours, discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year post transplant, and annually thereafter to 5 years post procedure. Pre- and post-implant assessments were the same as the EXPAND Heart study. #### 3. Clinical Endpoints The EXPAND Heart CAP study had the same primary endpoint and secondary endpoints as the EXPAND Heart study, but there was no hypothesis testing associated with the primary endpoint of the EXPAND Heart CAP study. Additionally, the EXPAND Heart CAP study included the following endpoints: - Patient survival at 6 and 12 months post-transplant - Incidence of primary graft failure requiring re-transplantation through 12 months post-transplant - Duration of initial post-transplant ICU stay - Duration of initial post-transplant hospital stay ## B. Accountability of Study Cohort At the time of database lock on August 26, 2020, 49 donor hearts were preserved using the OCS Heart System at 8 investigational sites in the U.S., of which 4 were turned down and 45 were transplanted. There was no female-to-male donor mismatch. Among the 45 recipients, 41 had reached the 30-day follow-up time point. This section summarizes the clinical results of these 41 recipients. ## C. Study Population Demographics and Baseline Parameters The inclusion criteria met by the transplanted donor hearts are summarized in Table 15. Many donor hearts exhibited multiple inclusion criteria. The demographics and baseline characteristics of the recipient patients are summarized in Table 16. Compared to the EXPAND Heart study, pre-transplantation ventricular assist device (VAD) use was substantially lower and pre-transplantation IABP use was more frequent in the EXPAND Heart CAP study.

It was carried out using an earlier design iteration of the OCS Heart System, with an aim to PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OCS Heart System in preserving standard criteria donor hearts for transplantation (denoted as "OCS arm"). ## A. Study Design The PROCEED II trial was a prospective, randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter study conducted under IDE G060127, with a target sample size of 128. The control arm was donor heart preservation using standard-of-care (SOC) cold cardioplegic storage (denoted as "SOC arm"). ## 1. Clinical Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Enrollment in the PROCEED II trial was limited to donor hearts and transplant recipient patients that met the following: ### Donor heart prior to preservation: - &lt; 60 years old - Mean arterial blood pressure &gt; 60 mmHg at the time of final heart assessment - Satisfactory echocardiography assessment defined as: - Ejection fraction &gt; 40% - Absence of severe segmental wall motion abnormalities - Absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (Inter Ventricular Septum (IVS) and Posterior Wall Thickness (PWT) &lt; 1.3 cm) - Absence of valve abnormalities (trace to mild valvular regurgitation is acceptable) ### Recipient - day of transplant: - Registered primary heart transplant candidate - &gt;18 years old - Signed written informed consent document and authorization to use and disclose protected health information Donor hearts and transplant recipient patients were not permitted to enroll in the study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria: ### Donor heart prior to preservation: - Abnormal coronary angiogram defined as &gt; 50% stenosis, requiring coronary bypass - Donor-to-recipient body weight ratio of &lt; 0.6 - Vasoactive medicinal support at time of final heart assessment, including, but not limited to: - Dopamine &gt; 10 ug/kg/min - Dobutamine &gt; 10 ug/kg/min - Milrinone &gt; 0.3 ug/kg/min - Epinephrine &gt; 0.03 ug/kg/min PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 34 - Norepinephrine &gt; 0.03 ug/kg/min - Any bolus dose of the above prior to explants that would result in exceeding the above stated criteria - Presence of any exclusion criterion based on the standard practice of the investigational site ## Recipient - day of transplant: - &gt; 4 previous sternotomies - Chronic renal failure as defined by chronic serum creatinine &gt;3.0 mg/dL for more than 2 weeks and/or requiring hemodialysis (except for hemodialysis or hemofiltration for fluid overload) - Ventilator dependence at the time of transplant - Use of a VAD for &gt; 30 days and the presence of any of the following: systemic sepsis, intracranial hemorrhage or heparin induced thrombocytopenia - Panel reactive antibodies &gt; 40% with a positive prospective cross match and/or virtual cross match - Use of any investigational drug or device, other than OCS, during the study - Simultaneous transplant of non-heart allograft, except for concurrent kidney transplant ## 2. Follow-up Schedule Follow-up time points included day of transplant, 2 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, discharge, and 30 days. Pre- and post-implant assessments included medical and cardiac history and functional assessments. Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits. ## 3. Clinical Endpoints The primary endpoint was patient survival at 30 days post-transplant with the originally transplanted heart and without any MCS device: $$ H _ {0}: \pi_ {O C S} &lt; \pi_ {S O C} - \delta $$ $$ H _ {0}: \pi_ {O C S} \geq \pi_ {S O C} - \delta $$ where π_{OCS} and π_{SOC} are the respective proportions of patients surviving at 30 days in the test arm and control arm and δ is the non-inferiority margin, which was prespecified to be 0.10. If non-inferiority was demonstrated, the protocol allowed for superiority testing. The secondary endpoints included the following, all of which had a non-inferiority hypothesis: - Incidence of cardiac graft-related SAEs at 30 days (non-inferiority margin: 0.1). - Rejection at 30 days (i.e., incidence of biopsy proven ISHLT grade 2R (moderate) or 3R (severe) acute rejection on any of the surveillance endomyocardial biopsies or PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 35 clinically symptomatic rejection requiring augmentation of immunosuppressive therapy during the 30-day follow-up period; non-inferiority margin: 0.1). Median length of ICU stay (non-inferiority margin: 12 hours). ## B. Accountability of Study Patients Patients in the PROCEED II trial were enrolled between March 21, 2009 and September 16, 2013 at 11 investigational sites in the U.S., U.K., Italy, and France. The clinical data summarized herein reflected data collected through October 25, 2013. A total of 143 patients were initially screened and randomized, including 74 randomized to the OCS arm and 69 to the SOC arm. Thirteen (13) of the 143 patients failed secondary screening/eligibility, including 7 in the OCS arm and 6 in the SOC arm, which led to 67 and 63 patients in the OCS and SOC arms, respectively. Five (5) donor hearts preserved using the OCS Heart System were turned down compared to zero (0) for donor hearts preserved using the cold storage method. Twelve (12) male recipients each in the OCS arm and SOC arm received a heart from a female donor. There were three different analysis populations defined in the protocol: Intention-to-Treat (ITT), As Treated (AT), and Per Protocol (PP), as summarized in Table 25 and Figure 10. The primary analysis was the PP analysis. All secondary endpoints were analyzed using the AT population. Table 25: Analysis Populations | Analysis Population | Definition | Number of Patients | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | OCS | SOC | | Intention-To-Treat (ITT) | All randomized patients for whom it was determined at the donor site that there was a matching and eligible heart. | 67 | 63 | | As Treated (AT) | All ITT patients who received a donor heart preserved by either the OCS or SOC technique, regardless of whether or not the patient received a donor heart according to the randomization assignment. | 62 | 66 | | Per Protocol (PP) | All AT patients who were transplanted according to their randomization assignments and had no major protocol deviations. | 60 | 61 | PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 36 ![img-11.jpeg](img-11.jpeg) Figure 10: Patient Population Flowchart # C.

(%) # D. Safety and Effectiveness Results # 1. Primary Endpoint The primary endpoint results for various analysis populations are summarized in Table 28. For the PP population, $93.3\%$ of the patients in the OCS arm were alive at 30 days post-transplant with the originally transplanted heart and without any MCS device compared to $96.7\%$ in the SOC arm. Since the $95\%$ upper confidence bound for the difference in the primary endpoint event rate between the two study arms was less than $10\%$ , the trial met its primary endpoint. In addition, the primary endpoint was met for the AT and ITT populations. Superiority was not demonstrated, and the numerical results favored the SOC arm.

Missing values were imputed with multiple imputation. The logistic regression method of imputation was used with terms for treatment, age, and gender. ## 2. Secondary Endpoints Incidence of Cardiac Graft-Related SAEs at 30 Days: The incidences of cardiac graft-related SAEs at 30 days are summarized in Table 29. Eight (8; 12.9%) patients in the OCS arm and 9 (13.6%) in the SOC arm experienced a cardiac graft-related SAE. The 95% upper confidence bound of the difference in the incidence between the OCS arm and SOC arm (OCS - SOC) was 9.1%, which was less than that the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 10%. As such, the study demonstrated non-inferiority of the OCS Heart System preservation to cold storage preservation in the incidence of cardiac graft-related SAEs at 30 days post-transplant.

Eleven (11; 17.7%) patients in the OCS arm and 9 (13.6%) in the SOC arm experienced moderate acute graft rejection requiring augmentation of immunosuppressive therapy. The 95% upper confidence bound of the difference in graft rejection rate at 30 days PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data between the OCS arm and SOC arm (OCS - SOC) was 14.7%, which was greater than the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 10%. As such, the study failed to demonstrate non-inferiority of graft rejection post-transplant.

The median length of the initial ICU stay was 147.1 hours for the OCS arm and 137.1 hours for the SOC arm. The 95% upper confidence bound of the difference in median (OCS - SOC) was 37.7 hours, which was greater than the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 12 hours. Thus, statistical non-inferiority was not observed.

Other Study Observations # Long-term Survival A post hoc Kaplan-Meier analysis of long-term survival based on data from the UNOS heart transplant registry is shown in Figure 11 for recipients treated in the U.S. only, which demonstrated a lower overall survival trend in the OCS arm (82.0% at 1 year and 74.7% at 2 years) compared to the SOC arm (95.1% at 1 year and 90.2% at 2 years). ![img-12.jpeg](img-12.jpeg) Figure 11: Kaplan-Meier Analysis of Overall Survival - PROCEED II (AT Population; U.S. Subgroup) # XI.3 Clinicopathologic Analysis of Turned-Down Donor Hearts In the three clinical studies summarized above, a total of 27 donor hearts were turned down after being preserved using the OCS Heart System, including 18 in the EXPAND Heart study, 4 in the EXPAND Heart CAP study, and 5 in the PROCEED II study. The pathology core laboratory reports were available for 26 of these turned-down hearts, which indicated findings of acute diffuse or multifocal myocardial damage in 23 hearts despite that these hearts had stable antemortem hemodynamics, normal (or essentially normal) cardiac anatomy, and normal ventricular function by echocardiography. It is unknown whether the injury was due to use of the OCS Heart System. # XII. PANEL MEETING RECOMMENDATION AND FDA'S POST-PANEL ACTION # A. Panel Meeting Recommendation At an advisory meeting held on April 6, 2021, the Circulatory System Devices Panel voted 9 (yes)-7(no)-2(abstain) that there is reasonable assurance the device is safe, 10-6-2 that there is reasonable assurance that the device is effective, and 12-5-1 that the benefits of the device PMA P180051: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data outweigh the risks in patients who meet the criteria specified in the proposed indication. Additional information on the Advisory Panel can be found at the following website: https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/advisory-committee-calendar/april-6-2021-circulatory-system-devices-panel-medical-devices-advisory-committee-meeting. ## B. FDA’s Post-Panel Action FDA worked interactively with the applicant to formulate the labeling and post approval study protocols to address the recommendations by the Panel and the FDA. ## XIII. CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL STUDIES ### A. Effectiveness Conclusions The EXPAND Heart pivotal study evaluated the preservation of “non-standard criteria” DBD hearts using the OCS Heart System. In the study, 88.0% of the recipients of a donor heart were alive at 30 days post-transplant without severe PGD (left or right ventricle) in the first 24 hours post-transplant, with a 95% lower confidence bound of 78.4%, which is greater than the pre-specified performance goal of 65% (p &lt; 0.0001). Thus, the study met the primary endpoint. This result was confirmed in the EXPAND Heart CAP study. The overall survival rate among transplanted patients in the EXPAND Heart study was 83.8% at 1 year and 82.2% at 2 years. However, in the randomized controlled PROCEED II trial evaluating the preservation of “standard criteria” DBD hearts using the OCS Heart System, the survival rate in the OCS arm was 82.0% at 1 year and 74.7% at 2 years compared to 95.1% at 1 year and 90.2% at 2 years in the SOC arm, based on available data captured in the UNOS heart transplant registry. These results suggest that the OCS Heart System should not be used on donor hearts that can be preserved using the cold static cardioplegic preservation. In the EXPAND Heart study, the median number of turndowns of the donor hearts by other transplant centers was 29 before they were accepted into the study, compared to the reported median number of turndowns of 2 based on the 2007-2014 UNOS heart transplant registry data (Baran, et al. 2019). This suggests that these donor hearts would have had a higher likelihood of not being utilized outside of the study. Among the donor hearts preserved using the OCS Heart System in the EXPAND Heart Study, 80.6% of them were transplanted. Thus, use of the OCS Heart System on DBD hearts deemed unsuitable for preservation using the cold storage method could potentially expand the availability of donor hearts in the U.S. ### B. Safety Conclusions The risks of the device are based on nonclinical laboratory and animal studies as well as data collected in clinical studies conducted to support PMA approval as described above.
