$TMDX @SecKennedy and HRSA targeting the abuses that drive the organ transplant space, after recent NY Times investigative coverage. He still seems unaware that there is a publicly-traded for-profit company in the space with pressure to hit quarterly targets - what could possibly.
Hospitals began organ harvesting while patients still showed signs of life. That’s horrifying—and it ends now. Under my leadership, @HHSGov is overhauling the organ transplant system. We’ve exposed gross negligence, launched sweeping reforms, and will decertify any organization

$TMDX To make the link more clear between Transmedics volume declines and the unfolding, recent crackdown on out-of-sequence organ offers, we explain how the liver match list works. The vast majority of livers are accepted within a couple of hundred miles from the donor, so they.
$TMDX A key driver of declining TransMedics volumes in Q3, we believe, is a recent crackdown on out-of-sequence organ placements in the aftermath of the NY Times article on Feb 26. The abuse is an underappreciated driver of TMDX's "Doordash-for-livers" business model - on a.

$TMDX @RobertKennedyJr RFK already announcing reforms, which we think would put TransMedics business model at risk; plus a separate Congressional hearing tomorrow. Washington DC has still not figured out that a publicly-traded for-profit company is the grease that lubricates the.
1/2 $TMDX The NY Times published a bombshell article yesterday on attempts to remove organs from patients who exhibit clear signs of life - practices similar to poor foreign countries. The article mentions TransMedics. It was the lead story in the paper, following a similar NYT.

$TMDX Market share erosion should accelerate rapidly now that the OrganOx device appears cleared to fly as of June 2 per FDA labeling change. ChatGPT summary attached and here’s the link to the PMA supplement. We note several other competing devices are on the cusp of FDA
$TMDX New entrants continue to take share. Pennsylvania OPO (organ procurement organization) talking up their new OrganOx device. One of 57 OPO’s in the US. The emerging model seems to be that OPO’s pump organs without charge to local transplant centers so that they don’t have to
