Title: travelling to Canada.
Post by: sazzy1 on August 06, 2012, 09:47:05 AM

I have friends that are moving to Canada next year and are keen for us to visit. We have a nxt stage machine and was wondering if anyone has taken one to Canada from the UK before and how easy was it to organise getting supplies. I have tried asking Kimel UK but they dont seem to be able to anser the question other than with a negative 'not possible' attitude

The NxStage is not approved for use in Canada.  That being said, I think it would be pretty difficult for you to get supplies delivered here.  I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not going to be a situation where they have a distributor that can get your stuff for you, like we've experienced when we travel, say, from Canada to the U.S. using PD.
