STI Electronics and Impulse Dynamics Celebrate Their Alliance for a Cutting-Edge Heart Failure Device
September 24, 2025 | STI Electronics, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
STI Electronics, Inc., a full-service organization providing Contract Electronics Manufacturing, Training Services, Training Materials, Analytical/Material Failure Analysis and Prototyping, is proud to announce its relationship with Impulse Dynamics® in the development of its next-generation heart failure platform that is currently under clinical evaluation. The CCM-D® HF system is being studied under the INTEGRA-D clinical trial. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in the treatment of heart failure, which could provide patients with a groundbreaking innovation for managing heart failure symptoms.
Jason Spees, CEO of Impulse Dynamics®, commented, “We are pleased to team up with STI, a relationship that bolsters our pledge to enhance therapy for heart failure patients by pushing forward technology and widening access for millions of patients suffering with heart failure. Together with STI, we will deliver care to patients with CCM® therapy, providing a key alternative for managing symptoms in heart failure care.”
The CCM-D® HF System is intended to be the world’s first device that combines Impulse Dynamics® proprietary CCM® therapy for treating heart failure (HF) symptoms with life-saving, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy. The preliminary findings of the trial, which showcased a 100 percent success rate for defibrillation in the efficacy cohort, were presented as a late-breaking clinical trial at Heart Rhythm 2025.
“At STI Electronics, we are honored to celebrate this relationship with Impulse Dynamics®. Supporting this important clinical trial is a testament to our commitment to advancing technology and delivering meaningful solutions that improve the lives of heart failure patients,” saod Dave Raby, President/CEO, STI Electronics Inc.

Learning With Leo: What Is the Cost of Quality Brought About by Training?
12/03/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoIn electronics manufacturing, conversations about training often revolve around one narrow question: What does it cost? Training requires time, materials, instructor fees, and occasionally travel. Under tight budget constraints, it is understandable that organizations scrutinize these expenses. However, this perspective misses a far more important and financially meaningful point: What is the cost of quality brought about by training? Framed differently: What does it cost when training does not occur?
