(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110503/MM94799LOGO)
NxStage President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey H. Burbank, credits the Company’s significant revenue growth to its success in pioneering the home hemodialysis market with its System One™, the first and only truly portable, easy-to-use home hemodialysis machine, as well as its continued expansion in both the critical care and in-center markets. NxStage’s in-center business, Medisystems, was acquired by NxStage in 2007.
Burbank said, NxStage is honored to be ranked among the country’s most innovative companies for the fourth year in a row. We believe there are significant growth opportunities ahead and that we are well positioned to capitalize on them in a way that continues to advance the quality of care of dialysis patients.
NxStage Medical, like all 2011 Technology Fast 500™ companies, have excelled in fostering innovation and channeling it into spectacular growth — against the backdrop of one of the most challenging economies in history, said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP. Deloitte recognizes NxStage Medical for its remarkable accomplishment.
We are pleased to honor NxStage Medical as a 2011 Technology Fast 500 company, said Mark Jensen, managing partner, technology and venture capital services, Deloitte & Touche LLP. As one of the fastest growing tech companies in North America, NxStage Medical has demonstrated excellence in technological innovation, entrepreneurship and rapid growth.
About the NxStage System One
The NxStage System One is the first and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared for home use by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Its simplicity and revolutionary size (just over a foot tall) are intended to allow convenient use in patients’ 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, at home or on vacation.
