LAWRENCE, Mass.—NxStage Medical, Inc. announced a 5-year U.S. distribution agreement between its subsidiary, Medisystems Corporation, and Gambro, in which Medisystems will supply blood tubing sets, including the ReadySet® and the Streamline® to Gambro.
In turn, Gambro will exclusively supply the bloodlines to certain customers for use with specific dialysis machines, subject to certain conditions.
"We are pleased to offer Medisystems' bloodlines as part of our product portfolio for chronic dialysis," said Nick Mendez, president of Gambro Americas. "We believe Medisystems' products deliver leading quality, performance and customer satisfaction. The Medisystems product line, particularly the Streamline technology, complements the unique value Gambro delivers to dialysis centers and patients with such novel technology as is incorporated into for instance Gambro's new Revaclear dialyzers. We look forward to a productive relationship with Medisystems."
