* As more fully described in Item 4, the Warrants are subject to a 4.99% blocker, and the percentage set forth in row (11) gives effect to such blockers. However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).

This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed on July 5, 2018 (the "Original Schedule 13G" and the Original Schedule 13G as amended, the "Schedule 13G"), with respect to shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Shares"), of CHF Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13G. This Amendment amends and restates Items 4 and 5 in their entirety as set forth below.

Item 4.

OWNERSHIP.

The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based on 7,188,567 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 14, 2018, as represented in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2018 and assumes the exercise of the Company’s reported warrants (the “Reported Warrants”) subject to the Blockers (as defined below).

Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise the Reported Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Blockers"), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person gives effect to the Blockers. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Reported Warrants due to the Blockers.

The Investment Manager, which serves as the investment manager to the Empery Funds, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock underlying the Reported Warrants (subject to the Blockers) held by the Empery Funds. Each of the Reporting Individuals, as Managing Members of the General Partner of the Investment Manager with the power to exercise investment discretion, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock underlying the Reported Warrants (subject to the Blockers) held by the Empery Funds. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of the Empery Funds and the Reporting Individuals hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock.

Item 5.	OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS.

	If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following: [X]
