The Medtronic Autologs System allows real‐time clinician review of HeartWare HVAD System logfiles, providing supplemental pump data to aid in patient management. In its first year of availability, Autologs generated a 70% increase in logfile submissions, with 73% of all logfile requests being sent to Autologs. Within a month of its launch, Autologs submissions outnumbered the amount of logfiles submitted for manual review. Following the v1.1 release, there was a 20% increase in logfile submissions, with 77% of all logfile requests being Autologs. With the introduction of v1.2, there was another 35% increase in logfile submissions, with nearly 90% of all logfile requests being Autologs. The widespread adoption and utility of the Autologs System highlights the need for clinician access to real‐time data analysis in the field of Mechanical Circulatory Support.
