BETTER BEGINS NOW. TABLO DIALYSIS. PAID PROGRAM - WHAT’S THIS?
The Next Dialysis
Revolution Is
Powered by Tablo
Tablo is a first-of-its-kind dialysis medical device reducing
complexity of home dialysis to improve patient success.
At Outset Medical, with highly engaged and caring employees, patient outcomes impacts every aspect of the company’s innovative culture. This includes simplifying the process of setting up the dialysis machine, relying on real-time data collected and provided to professionals to improve treatments, fast set up and breakdown times, AI technology, and sleek easy to store machines.
“You absolutely can live a good life on dialysis!” says Tracey, who has been home using her Tablo Dialysis Machine for over 6 months now and is feeling even better than she did on in-center dialysis. "With Tablo, you don't have to think too much, [that] is how easy it is," noted Tracey.
And the health benefits of conducting dialysis with Tablo are expansive. For the average patient with Tablo they experience fewer hospital visits, a better quality of life, longer life expectancy, and the ability to maintain employment. "The support that I received from Outset is unbelievable...I do feel part of the family, I know they are there."
Tracey highlights that by using the Outset Medical Device, she can get up, have breakfast, and start dialysis treatment whenever she wants. The model is simple to use with Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software to help improve outcomes. The patient noted, “Before my transplant, I was using NxStage, but the difference is everything is automated...Ten steps instead of twenty or thirty."
That ability to apply the benefits of ease of use and data in a holistic, 360-degree manner across a patient's experience is critical for patients to simplify home dialysis and improve outcomes. "When I first heard about the Tablo coming to us I was a little hesitant because I was worried about what if they don't do it right? Is it not going to work?" said one Healthcare Provider. "Once we see the patients setting up their machines, it works."
Easing Burdens Off Patients and
Providers Alike
For patients like Tracey —desirous of the least impactful most successful outcomes from dialysis—Outset Medical's Tablo may very well be a new alternative that you should discuss with your Healthcare Team. Do not wait for them to bring the option to you because they may not. "Using a Tablo has given me more independence, and I am an independent person. I feel proud of myself. I can do it myself," said a current Tablo Dialysis patient.
The Outset Medical Team points out that "Wireless data transfer enables Tablo to securely, automatically communicate with your healthcare provider about your treatment." With automatic charting, Tablo limits the need for hand-written documentation. Your healthcare team can proactively contact patients to avoid complications and the friendly Tablo Customer Service Team is available through phone and live chats. With that, Tablo is a highly innovative solution that drives a more personalized and comfortable care model with increased efficiency and better outcomes for patients.
“It hit me my first week at Outset that this was a huge corner of [the] health-care market. Nurses were still pushing around these huge machines in hospitals. We went from that to a 37-inch dialysis clinic on wheels that plugs into any faucet, essentially providing self-service on-demand.” Leslie Trigg, Cheif Executive Officer, Outset Medical
Fueled by the technology of Tablo, many patients are gaining more independence, feeling better, with fewer side-effects. "[My doctor] told me that it was not as complex as the previous unit that I used," reported Tracey. "He said it was basically dummy-proof' and it was 'dummy proof.'"
The Expanded Reach of
Home Hemodialysis
The transformative power of Outset Medical's Tablo extends well beyond traditional treatment. Tablo is rapidly transforming Home Hemodialysis which is already the preferred treatment option recommended by professionals. "You've incorporated the patient voice every step of the way," noted Nieltje Gedney, Home Dialyzors United. "I had the best sleep that night. For two nights after [Tablo] treatment I slept like a baby."
For some patients that do not do well or enjoy the current leading Home Hemodialysis Option, NxStage, Tablo is being used to deliver new levels of efficiency and success to limit health complications and improve short-term and long-term outcomes. "This is really huge because in all honest not all machines are right for every person," said Nieltje.
Recent clinical trials demonstrate Tablo is safe, easy, and effective for patients to learn and use. The Tablo Home trial demonstrated that Tablo is safe and effective for use in the home. Tablo was designed to simplify treatments while reducing the potential for user errors and bringing peace of mind and confidence to do dialysis on your own. For example, Tablo’s sensors and alerts guide you when something needs your attention, and wireless data transmission provides automated updates to your doctor about your device and treatment.
Tablo is prescribed by your doctor. We recommend speaking to your nephrologist about the benefits of Tablo, including use at home, to determine if it is right for you. Together, you can discuss Tablo’s ability to improve your dialysis experience as well as the quality of life benefits of using Tablo at home. If your clinic doesn’t have Tablo yet, you can also ask Outset to reach out to your nephrologist with more information.
There are no additional costs to the patient for using Tablo. Dialysis treatments are covered by Medicare and Medicaid and commercial insurers regardless of the type of machine that is used. Patients may have the same coinsurance or copay that they do today for their dialysis treatments.
Tablo’s all-in-one design, easy to learn and use touchscreen interface, and smart sensors allow a host of benefits beyond other Home Dialysis options which include:
Save you space and time. Tablo quickly purifies water and produces dialysis on demand, removing the need for premixed batches of dialysate or bags of purified water to run treatments.
Allows you to personalize your dialysis schedule. Keep your same 3x per week dialysis schedule or dialyze more frequently.5
Get set up quickly – it takes less than 20 minutes to set up and start treatment.6
Alert you when something needs your attention, and allows you to resolve alarms quickly – For example, Tablo can sense when there is air in the tubing or when your blood pressure is not within your normal range – and help you resolve the issue. Most patients resolved alarms in less than 5 seconds.
Keep track of your treatment data for you and wirelessly transfer your treatment records to your health care provider.
Now many patients can get their hands on a Tablo Machine or request it. Let's see if this can improve your outcomes. Let's apply the power of Tablo to your care challenges and determine if it is best for you.
