EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHF Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHFS) announced today that the company received registration from FDA Thailand to allow the sale of Aquadex Flex Flow® in Thailand. The product will be sold through the company’s current distributor in South-East Asia, Transmedic, adding to its earlier commercial launches in Hong Kong and Singapore.
"We continue to selectively pursue opportunities outside of the United States, and we look forward to working with our distribution partner, Transmedic, to further expand our reach in Asia,” commented John Erb, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CHF Solutions. “We continue to believe that the heart failure market remains largely untapped in Asia and anticipate that the Aquadex FlexFlow system will provide a clinically proven alternative therapy option when diuretics fail.”
The Aquadex FlexFlow is now available for patients in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand, in addition to the United States.
