Expands interoperability, enhances clinician workflow, and establishes the digital foundation for future software-enabled extracorporeal therapies

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nuwellis, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUWE), a medical technology company committed to delivering solutions for patients with cardiorenal conditions, today announced a digital transformation program designed to position the Aquadex SmartFlow® System as a connected extracorporeal therapy platform for the modern intensive care environment. The program includes integration through Philips Capsule™ medical device interoperability technology and development of a next-generation tablet-based user interface. Together, these enhancements are expected to improve clinical workflow, strengthen interoperability with hospital information systems, and establish the digital foundation for future software-enabled innovations across the Aquadex platform.

The development program consists of two complementary initiatives. The first will integrate the Aquadex platform with leading electronic health record (EHR) systems, enabling therapy data generated during Aquadex treatments to be automatically transmitted into a patient’s electronic medical record. The second initiative introduces a modern tablet-based user interface that will display key therapy information and device status in an intuitive, streamlined format designed to improve clinician workflow and ease of use. The digital architecture being developed is also expected to support future software-enabled decision support and advanced analytics capabilities as the platform evolves.

“As healthcare continues its digital transformation, clinicians increasingly expect medical devices to integrate seamlessly into the hospital ecosystem,” said Mike McCormick, Nuwellis President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the future of extracorporeal therapy extends beyond fluid removal alone. It requires intelligent, connected platforms that integrate seamlessly into the ICU environment. These investments strengthen Aquadex today while creating the digital infrastructure that will support our next generation of products and capabilities.”

This digital enhancement is one component of Nuwellis’ broader innovation strategy to expand both the capabilities and clinical applications of the Aquadex platform. Together, these initiatives reflect the Company’s commitment to continuously advance Aquadex through both hardware and software innovation. In addition to expanding therapeutic capabilities into adjacent extracorporeal applications, Nuwellis is investing in technologies that improve usability, connectivity, and integration within the increasingly digital intensive care environment.

Nuwellis expects to provide future updates regarding development milestones, regulatory activities, and commercialization plans as the program advances. The foregoing development initiatives are research-stage applications currently in development and are not yet approved, cleared, or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are not currently available for commercial sale, distribution, or clinical use.
