Nuwellis receives FDA clearance for new catheter size

MINNEAPOLIS - Nuwellis, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUWE), a medical technology company with annual revenue of $8.32 million, has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for a new size of its Dual Lumen Extended Length Catheter (dELC), the company announced Thursday. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.16.

The medical technology firm, which specializes in fluid management, has added a 15 cm insertable length option to its existing 11 cm catheter. Both catheters are coil-reinforced, 6F devices designed to provide peripheral venous access for ultrafiltration therapy. InvestingPro analysis shows the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, potentially supporting its product development initiatives.

The dELC is indicated for use up to 72 hours to attain venous access with the company’s Aquadex FlexFlow and Aquadex SmartFlow systems for ultrafiltration therapy.

"Clinicians have asked for dependable peripheral access that works across inpatient units and emerging outpatient programs," said John Erb, Chief Executive Officer of Nuwellis. "With two extended lengths and coil reinforcement, the dELC helps teams match access to the patient and care setting."

According to the company, the catheter’s coil reinforcement and dual-lumen design enable consistent blood flow for ultrafiltration therapy, while the choice of lengths helps match patient size and site-of-care needs.

The clearance supports Nuwellis’ multi-year plan to build a comprehensive fluid management platform for hospitals and clinics to standardize patient identification and ultrafiltration therapy across various care settings.

The company’s Aquadex SmartFlow system is indicated for temporary or extended use in adult and pediatric patients weighing 20 kg or more whose fluid overload is unresponsive to medical management, including diuretics.
