Fresenius Medical Care introduces 2008K@homeâ„¢ hemodialysis delivery system in North America

November 11, 2011 By AxoGen, Inc.

BAD HOMBURG, Germany–(BUSINESS
WIRE
)–Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (“the company” or
“Fresenius Medical Care”; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: FME / New York Stock
Exchange: FMS), the worlds largest provider of dialysis products and services,
today introduced the 2008K@home, a hemodialysis system for use at the patients
home, at the American Society of Nephrologys Kidney Week 2011 meeting in
Philadelphia, USA. The 2008K@home machine is built on the 2008® series
hemodialysis machine platform that has delivered superior hemodialysis therapy
for over 30 years. This machine combines safety, efficacy and reliability with
a simple user-interface that incorporates an on-screen tutorial to walk the
user through set-up, treatment, and disconnection from therapy. Earlier this
year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the 2008K@home
machine for use.

“With the growing interest in home therapies in the U.S., the
2008K@home machine provides another option for delivering hemodialysis to
patients who want the freedom associated with being at home,” said Maureen
Lyden-Green, Vice President for Home Therapies at Fresenius Medical Care North
America. “The 2008K@home provides patients with a smaller version of the
in-center machine and allows flexibility to deliver a customized physicians
dialysis prescription for each patient, meeting the patients medical needs and
suiting their lifestyle,” continued Chief Medical and Regulatory Affairs
Officer Dr. Jose Diaz-Buxo.

Fresenius Medical Care is the world’s largest integrated
provider of products and services for individuals undergoing dialysis because
of chronic kidney failure, a condition that affects more than 2 million
individuals worldwide. Through its network of 2,874 dialysis clinics in North
America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Africa,
Fresenius Medical Care provides dialysis treatment to 228,239 patients around
the globe. Fresenius Medical Care is also the world’s leading provider of
dialysis products such as hemodialysis machines, dialyzers and related
disposable products.
