CHF Solutions Announces First Patient Enrolled in the ULTRA-Peds Registry
ULTRA-Peds will collect real-world evidence on the safety, performance and utilization of Aquadex SmartFlow® in fluid overloaded children who weigh 20 kg or more.
Key clinical data to be collected from approximately 500 patients:
- Treatment course survival
- ICU survival
- ICU length of stay
- Change in kidney function
- Hemodynamic stability
- Change in percentage of fluid overload
- Complications and adverse events
“Maintaining fluid balance and hemodynamic stability are imperative to minimize the risk of increased morbidity and mortality. This involves selecting the appropriate treatment for fluid overload states” said Alex.
“We are grateful to partner with organizations like Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital as part of our commitment to improve and customize pediatric care with the Aquadex SmartFlow® system,” said
About Fluid Overload in Pediatric Patients
Fluid overload (hypervolemia) occurs when there is too much fluid in the body and is a major issue among critically ill children and adults. When left untreated, it can lead to life-threatening consequences. Available therapies require very high relative extracorporeal blood volumes, which can be challenging for pediatric patients. In a retrospective, multi-center study, 32 critically ill pediatric patients weighing over 20 kgs and predominantly suffering from hypervolemia were treated with the Aquadex FlexFlow System and 97% (31/32) survived to the end of therapy.1
About
About the Aquadex SmartFlow System
The Aquadex SmartFlow® system delivers clinically proven therapy using a simple, flexible and smart method of removing excess fluid from patients suffering from hypervolemia (fluid overload). The Aquadex SmartFlow® system is indicated for temporary (up to 8 hours) or extended (longer than 8 hours in patients who require hospitalization) use in adult and pediatric patients weighing 20 kg or more whose fluid overload is unresponsive to medical management, including diuretics. All treatments must be administered by a health care provider, within an outpatient or inpatient clinical setting, under physician prescription, both having received training in extracorporeal therapies.
