The Aksys personal hemodialysis system.
The Aksys personal hemodialysis system empowers patients to dialyze where, when, and how they want. It allows them to easily do the best dialysis--daily hemodialysis--in the safest place--at home--by simplifying operation (almost anyone can do it), doing the drudgery work of dialysis (the patient is the master, not the slave of the dialysis machine, giving patients their lives back), needing no bulky disposables (patients have their homes back), reducing emergencies during dialysis, and performing immediate fluid resuscitation on demand.
