LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NxStage
Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading manufacturer of
dialysis products, today announced that the NxStage® System One™ is
now used in eight of the Top 10 Nephrology Hospitals in
the United States as ranked
according to U.S. News & World Report. The Company's
revolutionary System One simplifies care in acute settings and
allows renal care professionals to deliver the prescribed renal
replacement therapy via a variety of modalities to critically ill
patients.
The System One offers multiple features designed to simplify
therapies in hospitals. These features include the NxView interface
with graphical touch screen display that provides treatment
information and charting assistance, a drop-in cartridge that
allows multiple therapies, no waste bags, and no special electrical
or plumbing needs.
"We're honored to be a partner to these prestigious hospitals,
and we look forward to continued close collaboration as we deliver
future innovations to patient care," said Joseph E. Turk, President of NxStage.
For more information about the NxStage System One, renal
replacement therapies or home hemodialysis, please

Renal replacement therapy, as with any medical therapy, is
not without risks. The decision of which therapy to use should be
made by the physician, based on previous experience and on the
individual facts and circumstances of the patient.
About the NxStage System One
The System One is used to
provide a range of flexible therapy options in hospitals and
dialysis centers. The NxStage System One is also the first
and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared specifically by
the FDA for home hemodialysis and home nocturnal
hemodialysis. Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a
foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients' homes
and give patients the freedom to travel with their therapy. When
combined with the NxStage PureFlow SL Dialysis Preparation System,
patients are able to further simplify, using ordinary tap water to
create dialysis fluid on demand. Unlike conventional hemodialysis
systems, the System One requires no special infrastructure to
operate. Under the guidance of their physician, patients can use
the NxStage System One, with their trained partners, where, how and
when it best meets their needs, including while they are sleeping -
at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment
frequency. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated by
experience with more than 10 million treatments with thousands of
patients around the world. http://www.nxstage.com/.
