Newbie caretaker, so I may not know what I am talking about :)
Caretaker for my elderly father who has his first and current graft in March, 2010.
Previously in-center hemodialysis in national chain, now doing NxStage home dialysis training.
End of September 2010: after twelve days of training, we were asked to start dialyzing on our own at home, reluctantly, we agreed.
If you are on HD, did you know that Rapid fluid removal (UF = ultrafiltration) during dialysis is associated with cardiovascular morbidity?  http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=20596
We follow a modified version: UF limit = (weight in kg)  *  10 ml/kg/hr * (130 - age)/100

How do you know you are getting sufficient hemodialysis?  Know your HDP!  Scribner, B. H. and D. G. Oreopoulos (2002). "The Hemodialysis Product (HDP): A Better Index of Dialysis Adequacy than Kt/V." Dialysis & Transplantation 31(1).   http://www.therenalnetwork.org/qi/resources/HDP.pdf

Thanks, Greg.

Even though I no longer do NxStage, I downloaded this and put it in my file, just in case.

Thanks for everything Aleta.  I hope Carl never has to go back to NxStage, but it is good to have a back up.
Everyone please contribute.  If you have any files relating to the use of NxStage equipment, please upload them or post a link.  Thanks.

Thanks Greg!  I, too, get lost in "Manuals".  Thank God, I haven't had to refer to them much!  This machine is very unique in its operations!

The links are still dead for the files.  Is there anyone out there who downloaded them that would be willing to repost them?
Thanks,
