In Japan, we established our subsidiary in 2013 and received regulatory approval for the Impella catheter in September 2016, and since October 2017, it has been used clinically in over 240 medical institutions nationwide, with more than 10,000 cases recorded (as of March 2024). During this time, we have introduced new technologies such as Impella CP, Impella CP SmartAssist, Impella 5.5 SmartAssist, and Impella 5.5 SmartAssist 2nd Generation, and have improved usability for customers and enhanced patient outcomes through the introduction of remote monitoring services called Impella Connect. ### Currently, in Japan, it is indicated for drug-resistant acute heart failure, but in the US and Europe, we aim to expand indications for high-risk surgical patients with severe coronary artery disease and to obtain indications for treatments that reduce myocardial damage caused by acute myocardial infarction (large-scale multicenter prospective randomized trials are ongoing in the US and Europe). We also plan to introduce smaller, less invasive pump catheters (Impella ECP) and longer-term use pump catheters (Impella BTR), as well as right heart assist pump catheters (Impella RP Flex). ### As a relatively new product and treatment concept, there are cases where Impella is not used despite its indications, and further promotion and sales activities for Impella treatment are necessary. Additionally, organizational expansion is required at Abiomed in preparation for the introduction of new products and the acquisition of new indications. We are looking for individuals who are motivated to work at Abiomed, where there is significant growth potential for individuals, organizations, and the market. ### **Main Responsibilities:** ### The pillars of Abiomed's business goals are as follows: 1) Increase the number of cases - Increase the number of cases where Impella saves lives and restores heart function 2) Improve survival rates - Improve outcomes (survival rates) of cases where Impella is used. To achieve these business goals and to establish Impella as the standard of care (SoC), planning and execution of sales activities are required. - ### Provide information based on domestic and international clinical evidence, and propose new treatment strategies and systems utilizing clinical experience and knowledge cultivated from domestic cases. - ### Understand Abiomed's business model and supply chain, and ensure smooth communication with the responsible agents for uninterrupted product supply and management.
