LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NxStage Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading manufacturer of dialysis products, today announced that the NxStage® System One is now used in eight of the Top 10 Nephrology Hospitals in the United States as ranked according to U.S. News & World Report.

Renal replacement therapy, as with any medical therapy, is not without risks. The decision of which therapy to use should be made by the physician, based on previous experience and on the individual facts and circumstances of the patient. 

About the NxStage System One
The System One is used to provide a range of flexible therapy options in hospitals and dialysis centers.  The NxStage System One is also the first and only truly portable hemodialysis system cleared specifically by the FDA for home hemodialysis and home nocturnal hemodialysis. 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, including while they are sleeping - at home or on vacation and at a medically appropriate treatment frequency. Its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated by experience with more than 10 million treatments with thousands of patients around the world. http://www.nxstage.com/.
