On Apr. 2, 2020, CHF Solutions announced it has doubled the production staff that builds its next generation Aquadex SmartFlow consoles in response to increased demand from hospitals due to the coronavirus COVID-19.

The World Health Organization (WHO) protocol for treating patients infected with COVID-19, highlights the need for effective fluid management treatment strategies when caring for the critical patient population because the risk of volume overload is very high. The Aquadex SmartFlow system is an efficient way of rapidly removing excess fluid from patients being treated with fluid resuscitation as part of the treatment for COVID-19.
