CHF Solutions receives 510(k) clearance for Aquadex SmartFlow™ system in Pediatric Patients Weighing 20kg or More
In a retrospective, multi-center study, 32 pediatric patients weighing over 20 kgs and predominantly suffering from hypervolemia were treated with the Aquadex system and 97% (31/32) survived to the end of therapy.1
“For many types of pediatric patients, the available therapies require very high relative extracorporeal blood volumes, which can be challenging,” said
“With the approval of the Aquadex SmartFlow, traditionally underserved pediatric patients will benefit from ultrafiltration therapy that has shown positive clinical results and has strong interest from pediatric hospitals,” said
