Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients&#8217; 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 &#8211; at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment frequency.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nxstage.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.nxstage.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About\u00a0NxStage Medical<br \/><\/b>NxStage Medical Inc.\u00a0(Nasdaq: NXTM) is a medical device company, headquartered in\u00a0Lawrence, Massachusetts, USA, that develops, manufactures and markets innovative products for the treatment of ESRD and acute kidney failure.
