Patients Celebrate Four Years on NxStage Therapy

On February 11, 2008, six NxStage patients, their caregivers, and staff from WellBound and NxStage, gathered at a San Francisco east bay area restaurant to celebrate a very special event: celebrating their four-year anniversary on the NxStage System One.

WellBound, a Satellite Healthcare company, was the first program in NxStage’s IDE clinical study in 2003, which led to NxStage’s home clearance for the System One in mid-2005. Four patients—Susan, Craig, Everett, and Carl—began training in early December 2003, and Judith and Jake started soon after in the first quarter of 2004. In looking at the group gathered, it was difficult to determine who was the patient and who was the caregiver; all patients reported to feeling great, being extremely happy with the therapy and the freedom it provides, and the WellBound doctors and nurses attest to the clinical results.
