REFORM-HF™ Reducing Fluid Overload Using Renal Independent systeM in Heart Failure Patients
AquaPass Medical Ltd.
Summary
The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AQUAPASS, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. The investigators want to see if the AQUAPASS system can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will be treated in the hospital or in the outpatient clinic.
Description

The study checks if patients' fluid loss as a result of taking diuretics medications is improved when using AQUAPASS in parallel to this treatment. The evaluation of success is done by comparing participants' weight before and after the use of the AQUAPASS system, to evaluate if the system effectively removes exce…
