The Medtronic Autologs System allows real-time clinician review of HeartWare HVAD System logfiles, providing supplemental pump data to aid in patient management. In its first year of availability, Autologs generated a 70% increase in logfile submissions, with 73% of all logfile requests being sent to Autologs. Within a month of its launch, Autologs submissions outnumbered the amount of logfiles submitted for manual review. Following the v1.1 release, there was a 20% increase in logfile submissions, with 77% of all logfile requests being Autologs. With the introduction of v1.2, there was another 35% increase in logfile submissions, with nearly 90% of all logfile requests being Autologs. The widespread adoption and utility of the Autologs System highlights the need for clinician access to real-time data analysis in the field of Mechanical Circulatory Support.
