The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.837), awarded a $251,156 project grant to City Labs, Inc., a minority-owned small business in Miami, Florida. The grant supports the development of a betavoltaic power source for leadless cardiac pacemakers. The project aims to design and manufacture a compact, long-lasting polyimide-based power package that can fit within the titanium housing of a leadless pacemaker, providing a reliable power source with a consistent 3.8 MW of power for up to 20 years. This size reduction would allow for the implantation of the pacemaker in the atria, enabling multi-chamber leadless pacing for patients. The project focuses on optimizing the manufacturing processes, component design, and sealing techniques to ensure consistent quality and controlled scale-up production to meet FDA requirements for market approval.
