Pediatric Push
The stock move followed Nuwellis’ Tuesday announcement that it installed its first Aquadex SmartFlow systems at a leading pediatric hospital in Wisconsin, expanding its footprint in critical care . Aquadex SmartFlow is a device used to remove excess salt and water from patients with fluid overload. It is currently indicated for adult and pediatric patients weighing 20 kilograms or more whose condition hasn’t responded to diuretics.
CEO Mike McCormick said the Wisconsin installation reflects “continued momentum” in the company’s pediatric growth and “increasing clinical adoption” of Aquadex therapy, calling it entry into a key market within the company’s largest customer category. He added that the collaboration allows Nuwellis to establish clinical protocols and workflows to support broader use of the therapy over time.

Full results are expected to arrive on Aug. 13, the company said.
