- Nuwellis successfully completed an FDA pre-submission meeting to expand Aquadex SmartFlow System labeling for pediatric patients weighing 5 kg and above, down from the current 20 kg minimum. - Multiple publications from leading pediatric centers over the past 10 years have demonstrated safe and effective use of Aquadex in patients weighing less than 20 kg. - The FDA provided constructive feedback on the regulatory pathway, including requirements for 510(k) submission supported by bench testing, toxicological assessments, and pediatric clinical evidence. - The company anticipates submitting the 510(k) application to the FDA by the end of 2026 to address significant unmet needs in low-weight pediatric patients with fluid overload.
- Nuwellis received FDA 510(k) clearance for a new size of its Dual Lumen Extended Length Catheter (dELC) to support ultrafiltration therapy for fluid overload patients. - The catheter features coil reinforcement and dual-lumen design to provide reliable peripheral venous access with central-line performance for up to 72 hours. - The cleared portfolio now includes two catheter lengths (11 cm and 15 cm) designed to accommodate different patient anatomies and clinical workflows across care settings. - This clearance advances Nuwellis' multi-year strategy to build a comprehensive fluid management platform targeting critical care, cardiac surgery recovery, and hospital-based outpatient heart failure programs.
- Nuwellis announced the termination of its REVERSE-HF clinical trial, which was evaluating ultrafiltration versus IV loop diuretic therapy for hospitalized heart failure patients. - The company will redirect resources toward outpatient heart failure programs, pediatric, and critical care markets where it sees greater scalable impact and business growth potential. - The decision will save approximately $4.0 million over the next 2.5 years and was not related to device performance or safety concerns. - The terminated trial had enrolled 167 patients since beginning enrollment in 2022, and the company plans to analyze existing data for potential clinical publications.
