Is it me or am I just going nuts!!!   I use the CAR-170B NxStage Cartridges! I have noticed that where I spike the saline bag, that the four tubes that blend into the one spike, looks and feels different!  More squarish rather than flat! Not that it is a problem other than it seems harder to push spike in bag due to the awkward positioning below the spike!

When it was flatter it was easy to push long spike into bag, but now that it is squarish, it is a little more twisting to get tubing flush to bag!
Anyone else notice this?

lmunchkin,

I know this post is old, but NxStage does make revisions on cartridges every now and then.  They are now on the 170C cartridges which is the newest revision.  They have an insert in every box of cartridges that explains any changes and product info....
