It was developed by a team of medical technicians working under Dr. Roland Hetzer in Berlin- hence the name. It isn't really a completely artificial heart, but a 'ventricular assist device' intended for use in children and youngsters of 17 and under. It works in conjunction with the patient's own damaged real organ, helping it to function better until a donor organ can be found for transplantation.
It was approved for use in the United States on 16th December 2011, and has since been an invaluable life-saver for several young children, helping to keep them alive until a donor organ can be found.
