Action Taken
Abiomed notified consignees via UPS delivery on about 10/01/2025. Consignees were informed of the potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to network and physical access. Next steps included that product was not being removed, to maintain the affected device in a secure environment with restricted access, and an Abiomed field representative will contact consignees to arrange disabling the AIC's network capabilities. Consignees were instructed to review the notice and forward it to applicable personnel or customers if further distributed, report any suspicions of a cybersecurity event, and complete and return the response form. A follow up notification was sent to non-responding consignees on about 11/12/2025. The letter informed consignees that they were being contacted because they have not returned the response to the first notification. If a completed Business Reply Form is not received before a third notification letter (approximately 30 days), Abiomed will proactively disable remote viewing capabilities on Impella Connect.
