Medtronic Is Facing Growing Challenges From Boston Scientific And Abbott Laboratories | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - Ibd
Medtronic ( MDT ) will overcome Hurricane Maria's impact in fiscal 2018, but the maker of medical devices is expected to face growing competition from Abbott Laboratories ( ABT ) and Boston Scientific ( BSX ) in heart implants, an analyst said Thursday. XIn September, Abbott caught up to Medtronic and Boston, gaining approval for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD, that allows a patient to undergo an MRI scan if needed. These devices are implanted to help control abnormal heart rhythm . Still, RBC analyst Glenn Novarro says the lower end of Medtronic's full-year forecast in August for 4%-5% sales growth on a constant basis remains realistic. He increased his view for fiscal 2018 to $29.55 billion in sales and adjusted income of $4.74 per share. "The impact of MR-compliant ICDs from Abbott and Boston is another topic of interest as it relates to the second half of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019," he said. For Medtronic's fiscal 2019, Novarro forecasts the firm as managing 3% constant-currency growth. Competitive concerns also extend to heart-valve replacements, Novarro said. In early 2018, he sees Boston re-entering the European market with its Lotus Edge product. Boston recalled the device, not approved in the U.S., due to problems with its locking mechanism. IBD'S TAKE:Medtronic has an IBD Composite Rating of 57, meaning it performs in the top half of all stocks in terms of key growth metrics. But it still falls to No. 54 in the Medical-Products industry group in terms of rankings. Head to IBD Stock Checkup for a look at better-rated medtech players. Despite the mounting competition for its cardiac and vascular group, Novarro sees Medtronic as capable of pulling off its full-year guidance. "We expect management to reaffirm guidance for constant-currency re Continue reading >>

Medtronic
Medtronic Public Limited Company is a medical device company. Its headquarters are in Dublin, Ireland.[1][3][4][5] Its operational headquarters are in Fridley, Minnesota.[1][6] Medtronic is among the world's largest medical equipment development companies.[7] In 2015, at the time of its acquisition of Covidien, its market capitalisation was about $100 billion.[8] Medtronic operates in more than 140 countries.[1] It employs over 85,000 people and has more than 53,000 patents.[9] History[edit] Early history[edit] Medtronic Operational Headquarters in Fridley, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Medtronic was founded in 1949 in northeastern Minneapolis by Earl Bakken and his brother-in-law, Palmer Hermundslie, as a medical equipment repair shop.[10] Through his repair business, Bakken came to know C. Walton Lillehei, a doctor of heart surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School. The deficiencies of the pacemakers of the day were made painfully obvious following a power outage over Halloween in 1957, which affected large sections of Minnesota and western Wisconsin.[11] A pacemaker-dependent paediatric patient of Lillehei died because of the blackout. The next day, Lillehei spoke with Bakken about developing some form of battery-powered pacemaker. Bakken modified a design for a transistorised metronome and created the first battery-powered external artificial pacemaker. Medtronic's old headquarters in St. Anthony, Minnesota The company expanded through the 1950s, mostly selling equipment built by other companies but also developing some custom-made devices. Bakken built a small pacemaker that could be strapped to the body and powered by batteries. Work in the new field later produced an implantable pacemaker in 1960. The company built headquarters in the Minneapoli Continue reading >>
Cardiac And Vascular Group - Case Studies | Medtronic
CASE STUDIES CARDIAC AND VASCULAR SOLUTIONS PRO|CVSM helped this heart and vascular healthcare system achieve cross-functional process improvements which resulted in more patient time spent face-to-face with their clinician, as compared to their total time spent at the clinic. This leading cardiovascular care center partnered with PRO|CV to proactively examine every aspect of their TAVR operation. By streamlining workflow procedures, they saw significant improvements in patient wait times, staff efficiency, and clinical processes and protocols. MEETING THE DEMAND FOR REMOTE DEVICE MONITORING PRO|CV partnered with this midwestern heart center to standardize and streamline remote management procedures. The result was an increase in remote patient transmissions viewed each day without increasing staff. REDUCING 30-DAY HEART FAILURE READMISSIONS At the end of 2013, this medical center was seeing higher than desired 30-day heart failure readmissions. In partnership with Medtronic Connect HFSM they established a more efficient process for managing heart failure patients, and brought their 30-day readmission percentage below the national average.

Medtronic To Acquire Ventricular Assist Devicemaker
Medtronic has announced it will acquire a Framingham, Mass.-based manufacturer specializing in less-invasive devices used to treat heart failure. The Dublin-based devicemaker said it will buy publicly traded HeartWare International for $58 per share, or roughly $1.1 billion in cash. The deal is expected to close during Medtronic's second quarter ending Oct. 28. HeartWare makes the HVAD System, a miniaturized pump that supports circulation of blood through the heart for patients with congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart isn't pumping enough blood. The device is designed to be implanted less-invasively than comparable devices, in a three-step procedure. The ventricular assist device will allow Medtronic to expand its heart failure business and offer devices that serve patients who have a wider range of needs, said Mike Coyle, executive vice president at Medtronic and president of its cardiac and vascular group. Medtronic already offers several pacemakers. Medtronic estimates the value of the ventricular assist device market at $800 million, while heart failure affects 5.7 million adults in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Medtronic believes that number will exceed 8 million by 2030, and points out that the U.S. already spends $39 billion a year on heart failure treatment, one of the largest expenses in the healthcare system. HeartWare CEO Doug Godshall expressed optimism that an acquisition by Medtronic will allow the company to more quickly develop and introduce other devices. "Combining the unique capabilities of the HeartWare team, which has been entirely focused on mechanical support technologies, with the broad strength of the Medtronic organization provides a unique opportunity to enhance growth in the mecha Continue reading >>
