CHF Solutions (Nasdaq: CHFS) today announced Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, Virginia has initiated ultrafiltration therapy using the Aquadex SmartFlow™ system.

“Following FDA clearance and the launch of the Aquadex SmartFlow system in the first quarter, we continue to see strong interest from pediatric hospitals,” said John Erb, chairman and CEO of CHF Solutions.  “We are proud to work with the medical team at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters to bring this simple, gentle and smart therapy to its patients suffering from fluid overload.”

“We will use this ultrafiltration therapy to accommodate the needs of children that require fluid removal without the added risk of hemodialysis and to meet the needs of ICU patients with heart disease that don’t respond to diuretics,” said Dr. Irene Restaino, M.D., Medical Director of Nephrology at CHKD.
