Fresenius Medical Care Ventures, the venture capital unit of Fresenius Medical Care, announced today that it has invested $2 million in the Series B financing round for Vectorious Medical Technologies (“Vectorious”). The Israeli medical device company raised more than $10 million in this financing round, including a recent grant from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 flagship research and development program.
Vectorious has developed the V-LAP, a first of its kind in-heart microcomputer for left-atrial pressure monitoring. Data from this device is transmitted wirelessly to clinicians, enabling heart failure patients to be managed effectively before their disease advances.
The Series B financing will accelerate Vectorious’ ongoing R&D programs, as well as CE Mark and FDA regulatory approval initiatives.
“This first investment we have made outside of the United States demonstrates our confidence in the great innovative potential for medical products in Israel. Based on the pioneering nature of Vectorious’ technology for managing chronic heart failure patients’ care, we see this as a compelling early stage investment opportunity with tremendous potential,” said Florian Jehle, Managing Director of Fresenius Medical Care Ventures and Senior Vice President Global R&D at Fresenius Medical Care.

Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest provider of dialysis products and services, today announced the closing of the divestiture of Sound Inpatient Physicians Holdings, LLC (Sound) to an investment consortium led by Summit Partners as of June 28, 2018. The total transaction proceeds are $2.15 billion (EUR 1.85 billion1).
The divestment of Sound is aligned with Fresenius Medical Care’s goal of further sharpening the profile of the company’s Care Coordination portfolio. The transaction is expected to generate a positive effect on net income2 for Fresenius Medical Care of around USD 7523 million (EUR 648 million1). This effect includes the half year impact from the increase in valuation of Sound´s share based payment program caused by the divestment of Sound.
The financial targets for 2018 and 2020 do not include the effects of this divestiture. The divestment reduces on a constant currency basis Fresenius Medical Care´s 2018 revenue expectations by around EUR 650 million and net income2 by around EUR 40 million. The growth rates indicated in the financial targets for 2018 will be achieved on a comparable basis4 following the divestiture of Sound.
