Outset Medical U.S. Renal Care in deal to expand U.S. home dialysis

Outset Medical announced a multi-year agreement to help accelerate home hemodialysis in the U.S. Studies show patients with end-stage kidney disease ESKD are healthier mentally and physically dialyzing at home, more likely to be employed and maintain more control of their daily activities. Yet, just 3% of the ESKD population currently performs home hemodialysis, in large part due to historically complicated systems that made it too difficult to undertake or sustain. Under the multi-year agreement, U.S. Renal Care can utilize Outset’s Tablo Hemodialysis System as a home dialysis option throughout the 33 states in which it provides care. Patients dialyzing with Tablo report that the system is easy to learn and operate in their home. Expanding treatment options in the communities served by U.S. Renal Care will aid in meeting the growing demand of dialysis patients seeking treatment at home. “Our collaboration with U.S Renal Care is an important step forward in providing dialysis patients with options for where, when and how they want to dialyze.” said Leslie Trigg, Chair and CEO of Outset Medical. “Tablo was specifically designed to reduce the complexity of dialysis and help restore the identity and agency of patients who must dialyze to survive. We are pleased to partner with U.S. Renal Care to advance this mission.”
