EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Feb. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHFS), today announces it has expanded its commercial operations team with the addition of three new field clinical specialists to help optimize use of its Aquadex FlexFlow System within its existing and future customer base.

We are dedicated to educating and supporting doctors and nurses to optimize Aquadex utilization for patients who need different treatment options.
