Abiomed is a Danvers, Massachusetts medical device manufacturer and, since December 22 2022, a standalone business inside Johnson & Johnson MedTech, which acquired it for approximately $16.6 billion. The company designs, manufactures and supports the Impella family of percutaneous micro-axial heart pumps — Impella CP, 5.5, RP Flex and the SmartAssist sensor line — used for temporary mechanical circulatory support during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and in cardiogenic shock, alongside the Automated Impella Controller console, the Breethe OXY-1 ECMO system and the Impella Connect remote case-review service. Its product is regulated hardware sold to hospitals and cath labs, supported by a 24/7 clinical support centre, not software sold to developers. Abiomed's digital surface is limited to two end-user products: Impella Connect, a customer-only clinician portal that receives one-way RTMPS video of the console screen over port 443, and the Impella App for clinical reference. Abiomed publishes no developer portal, no API reference, no OpenAPI or other machine-readable specification, no SDK on npm, PyPI or any other registry, and maintains no public source-code organisation; the corporate site abiomed.com now redirects to the brand site at heartrecovery.com.
