I've heard about it, but have never used Gambro or DaVita machines. I'll be interested to know the outcome.

Hello Nurse

I will be going to the site more often to see the out come. It almost appears that they are trying to file a class action law suit.
This is the first that I actually seen something in writing about it. I had heard of many rumors but actually didn't believe it until tonight.

Before DaVita bought Gambro and still Davita mostly uses Fresenius machines.

I believe the machine you are referring to is the Phoenix machine. A strictly Gambro product.
