I'm not clear what the exact reason is but here in US you can't have home hemo if you live alone. Is it government regulations? Fear of lawsuits (prob)? Some weird lobbying group? I don't know if we've ever gotten to the bottom of this. I thought the FDA wasn't allowing it but there were vehement reactions to that.
Doing home hemo solo is a really bad idea, because if you fall asleep and start to leak, you can bleed yourself to death in less than 10 minutes.
