FDA Approves Home Dialysis Machine From Fresenius Medical Care

If maintained properly the machine could offer some real convenience of not having to go to a facility for treatment. I would almost guess that someone would need to make an in-house visit from time to time to check the unit out and make sure it’s working properly. If I am reading this correctly, it can work while the patient sleeps and that sounds like a real plus as far as time. The unit could also be used at a hospital. The unit also comes with software “PatientOnLine” which offers monitoring by clinical professionals as well. BD Press Release:

WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fresenius Medical Care (NYSE: FMS), the world’s leading company devoted to patient-oriented renal therapy, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared its 2008K@home™ dialysis machine.
