Three systems placed at leading Michigan pediatric hospital, establishing foundation for future growth MINNEAPOLIS, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuwellis, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUWE), a medical technology company committed to delivering solutions for patients with cardiorenal conditions, announces its expansion in Michigan with the installation of three Aquadex SmartFlow® systems at a leading pediatric healthcare provider. This represents Nuwellis' first pediatric program in the state of Michigan and further expands the Company's growing presence in pediatric critical care into a significant healthcare market. "Adding our first pediatric program in Michigan advances our strategy to expand Aquadex adoption in pediatric care," said Nuwellis' Incoming CEO Mike McCormick. "Leading pediatric centers continue to recognize the value of precise fluid management for critically ill patients. This collaboration provides an opportunity to establish protocols and clinical pathways that can support broader utilization of Aquadex therapy over time, creating a key entry into an as yet untapped market for Nuwellis." The new system installations support the development of clinical protocols and workflows designed to integrate Aquadex therapy into the hospital's pediatric care program, creating a foundation for future consumable utilization and long-term growth. As Nuwellis continues to prioritize expansion within pediatric and critical care settings, where clinicians are increasingly adopting Aquadex therapy to provide controlled, predictable fluid removal for patients suffering from fluid overload, pediatric programs represent a strategic growth opportunity to broaden access to the therapy and further strengthen the Company's leadership position in the category. The Aquadex SmartFlow System is designed to provide precise ultrafiltration therapy for adult and pediatric patients weighing 20 kilograms and above who are suffering from fluid overload and are unresponsive to medical management, including diuretics. Nuwellis recently completed a pre-submission meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to discuss a proposed expansion of the Aquadex label to support pediatric patients weighing 5 kilograms and above, further reinforcing the Company's commitment to serving the pediatric population.
