Is it easy to learn how to operate the NxStage System One?
The System One is designed to be simple. Physicians and staff at dialysis centers using the System One work with patients and their caregivers to ensure that they are optimally trained in the proper use of the system. In the NxStage clinical trial, approximately three weeks were required on average for patient/partner training. While professional nursing assistance is not required to use the System One, a patient should not dialyze alone, regardless of whether they are “trained and qualified”.
