Hi all,

I'm not a patient, just another dialysis nurse trying to find good therapies for my home patients.

Some of you are on the NxStage. I am in NH and am looking for a unit or patient close to me that I can visit to observe this new machine. My unit is considering it. Anyone out there in NH, VT, MA?

How about a promo video? You can try contacting Nxstage for a promo video showing this machine in action…

If they don’t have a video, perhaps just maybe I’d make one myself…would have to contact Nxstage first before proceding…

Thanks for your reply Gus. I think you have a good idea…a star is born!
Let me know how it goes with Nx Stage.
I guess I’d just like to see with my own 2 eyes how easy it is to set up, and operate. Are there troublesome alarms? Have machines had to be replaced? That kind of stuff.

We dunno yet, maybe for safety reasons the video idea may not be a good idea…but will let you know what NxStage thinks about it. Maybe they already have a promo video…

Sure thing…

[b]Trust me, this is as easy as learning to tie your showlaces!! …heck, I guess I can compare it to disposable diapers!! Troublesome alarms on my end at the moment no, there was one what they call 88 red alarm but that has been sorted out…my machine has NOT been replaced since starting home, still have it…

Btw, wouldn’t it be feasible to share your real name and let everyone know?

I’m sure if you contact NxStage they can put you in touch with a unit. I hear there are several units with very successful home programs.
