About the NxStage System One
The NxStage System One is
used to provide a range of flexible therapy options in hospitals
and dialysis centers. The 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. In addition, NxStage's Nx2me Connected Health
platform collects important NxStage System One and patient
information for flexible viewing, monitoring and reporting
that may improve patient management and patient retention, as well
as simplify alternative site care. www.nxstage.com
