DIMI/SAMI vs NxStage System OneI was under the impression that the OTHER dialysis machines were more costly (plumbing required, etc), not as effective but upon recent research, I found this:
NxStage System One operates on standard electric current; does not require any water supply, plumbing, or disinfection; and is portable enough for travel. NxStage consists of a computercontrolled delivery unit and a disposable cartridge containing the dialyser and fluid circuits. The dialysate comes in sterile, premixed bags, which eliminates the need for a water purification system.11,17,18 An optional accessory can produce dialysate from purified home tap water.11,19
So how is DIMI any different? An advantage? In layman's terms, please. SAMI has been approved for 3 years? Sales?
I know, how dare I ask questions?
