Nuwellis announces new real-world data on Aquadex ultrafiltration therpay

Nuwellis announced new real-world data demonstrate that pediatric patients with fluid overload respond well to Aquadex ultrafiltration therapy with continuous hematocrit monitoring. The publication, “Using Aquapheresis with Continuous Hematocrit Monitoring to Guide Ultrafiltration,” was featured in Pediatric Nephrology. The publication is a single-center case study review of pediatric patients with hypoalbuminemia and severe fluid overload. Patients were treated with Nuwellis’ Aquadex ultrafiltration therapy with continuous hematocrit monitoring to guide isotonic fluid removal. The study concluded that the therapy successfully treated small patients without hemodynamic instability or other complications, demonstrating that Aquadex is an effective treatment option for fluid overload. “We’re proud to share new evidence supporting the clinical need and applications for Aquadex among pediatric patients, and we’re grateful to Dr. Michelle Starr and her colleagues for their trust and confidence in our therapy,” said Nestor Jaramillo, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Nuwellis. “Our proprietary hematocrit sensor which is incorporated into the Aquadex console was a result of physician feedback and observations from clinical studies that drove us to make our Aquadex therapy even smarter. Our team is committed to supporting diuretic-resistant patients broadly, and I’m encouraged to see data validating this strategy as Nuwellis works to expand access to ultrafiltration to even more patients and clinicians.”
