The data from NxStage System One and patient information can be collected by the firm’s Nx2me Connected Health platform to allow flexible viewing, monitoring and reporting for improved patient management, retention and simple alternative site care.
With confirmed safety and performance via more than 14 million treatments with over 30,000 patients, the system can also be used for various therapies in standard care settings such as hospitals and dialysis centres.
