Use of NxStage VersiHD for Frequent Home Hemodialysis in a Hospital Setting: A New Opportunity for Complex Patients.

Key takeaways

The NxStage VersiHD is a portable dialysis machine built for home use. It runs on sterile bags of pre mixed fluid, so it does not need a hospital's built in water treatment plumbing. An Italian center describes using it inside the hospital for complicated patients, including in isolation rooms where normal dialysis cannot be set up. This is a report of one center's experience with no comparison group, so it shows the approach is workable, not that it beats standard dialysis.
