NxStage is used for SDD, but is it true that there is an attachment that enables it to be used nocturnally? Trying to confirm info we were given. What is the longest number of hours it can run per tx?
Yes, there’s an addon module which is other words should eleminate using the shipped dialysate bags BUT to the best of my knowledge its not out yet… in my opinion. the addon module suppose to let patients dialyze longer…
Currently without the module patients can run up to 6 hours…
How many bags does it take to run for 6 hours and can all of the bags be put up at the beginning of the tx?
5 to 6 bags…depends on your body volume and weight…smaller people will use maybe just 4 bags for 6 hours and a larger person probably 5-6…
In my case I use 3 bags for 2:38 …
