I have NxStage questions. We have been using NxStage at home for 11 months with very few problems. I have not kept up on some of the discussions so forgive me if I repeat questions already addressed. First question: what do you do with all of those wonderful little plastic caps? I am saving them and looking for a use. 2) Has anyone figured out how to attach 1 1/2 drain lines - I know one line will connect, the second line we are using the needle cap to connect, but I am looking for a connector. 3) We are with Kaiser, how do you address wrong pharmacy supply deliveries? - like the 19 gal sharp container. 4) what do you do when you need to respike the saline bag after everything is hooked-up and running - currently I open a new cassette and disconnect the blood lines and use what I need. 5) Who do you call with problems when you are hooking up (not machine related)? 5) I am going to read the pureflow posts, doesn't sound like something we want to get into with the problems they are having and I look at hanging the bags as part of my exercise program.
