Received word from NxStage that starting this month (September), they will be sending out new Drain Line Cleaning Kits every 3 months to those who use their Pureflow machines. Apparently it involves a 15-minute cleaning process and should be done every 3 months in addition to the regular bleaching process. Gee...really looking forward to that (not). Unless they have come up with a choice of "scented" products to motivate me! Personally, I wouldn't mind something that smells like a beautiful bouquet of roses, or green apples or freshly cut lemons or even apple-cinnamon spice! Well, a girl can dream, can't she???

Husband had ESRD with Type I Diabetes -Insulin Dependent.
I was his care-partner for home hemodialysis using Nxstage December 2013-July 2016.
He went back to doing in-center July 2016.
After more than 150 days of being hospitalized with complications from Diabetes, my beloved husband's heart stopped and he passed away 06-08-21. He was only 63.

Any idea what is in the kit?   My local clinic had not heard anything about this, though I did get the NxStage email.

It looks to me like some type small power flusher that connects to the line to flush it out. No big deal.
