About this page

This page is a press release from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare regarding a patient death caused by functional failure of an implantable artificial heart device called "EVAHEART," manufactured by Sun Medical Technology Research Corporation. The device had been subject to a voluntary recall (Class I) since September 2019. A patient whose poor health condition prevented device replacement died on July 14, 2020. Information provision to patients and families using the same device model was completed by August 3.
