(Nasdaq: NXTM), a leading manufacturer of innovative dialysis products, today announced that based on recent data compiled from its patient database matched with CMS public data, approximately 92 percent of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients within the continental United States are now located within a 60 mile radius of a dialysis center which offers System One(TM) therapy.

We are extremely pleased to have increased ESRD patient and physician access to System One via our comprehensive and growing network of dialysis centers, said Jeff Burbank, Chief Executive Officer. We are committed to further develop and invigorate these programs to deepen our penetration and extend the quality of life benefits of home dialysis to more patients.

When is NX stage going to force centers to offer training at a reasonable hour, after our normal work day! So I do not have to take six weeks off of work for dialysis training!  It is ridiculous!

There website needs a little work. Just incase I have o go back on dialysis and choose NxStage, looking for a center is not the easiest thing to do on the website.I get a diferent listing each time I click on distance, center size, and original listing. How about just list them all within a certain range of distance and then list the centers size in the table provided. Idiot web designer!

My only reason for considering NxStage is the travel freedom. Otherwise, it aint't worth it.
