NxStage System One Now Cleared for Night Time Hemodialysis in Europe Posted: 19 Feb 2013 11:13 AM PST  Hemodialysis is a time consuming process that typically requires multiple weekly sessions lasting a few hours each being stuck to a stationary device. The availability of at-home dialyzing has brought a new level of convenience to patients, but having to reserve time on a regular basis continues to be an issue.
A solution for Europeans now comes from NxStage (Lawrence, M) that received the CE Mark for nocturnal use of its System One at-home dialysis system. With a few safety precautions, a patient can go through a dialysis cycle while asleep and avoid the aggravation and wasted time of being immobile during the day. |
