What types of vascular access can be used with the NxStage System One?
The NxStage System One can be used with any type of vascular access, including arteriovenous fistula (AVF), synthetic graft, or catheter. Patients who use the system with an AVF or graft are taught in their training how to insert the dialysis needles into their AVF or graft. Many have found that, once they get accustomed to it, which takes just a few times, they actually prefer placing their own needles because they prefer the consistency of doing it themselves and because they know they are in control.
