This will ensure that patient data retrieved from a device is accurately linked to the correct patient.

The NxStage System One is a robust and innovative solution, offering treatment flexibility and ease of use to caregivers in the critical care setting

We look forward to working with iSirona with the goal of delivering increased return on investment and benefits to System One customers within the critical care market.
