My husband and I are leaving on a cruise tomorrow. I was wondering if any of you have checked your NxStage and medical supplies and allowed it to be delivered to your room by the cruise line, or if you carried it on yourself? Last cruise we did we carried on the NxStage and the bag with the supplies but I think lugging the machine around wore out my husband so I kinda want to check it, but I am afraid it will get damaged. Please let me know what you did when you cruised, or what your thoughts are. Thanks!:confused:

I want to do a treatment tonight without pulling any fluid. Last night I tried to pull only .3 at 350 BFR and the machine gave a treatment time of over 5 hours! This is longer than my usual time of 4.5 hours and pulling up to 1.5 kilo at 350. I called tech support and they told me I needed to raise the UF. I raised the UF to .6 and the length of treatment became more reasonable, but I didn't want to pull that much. Can I set the machine to not pull anything without the length of treatment expanding? I have a busy day tomorrow and I can't afford to take a chance on being too dry and I can't skip a treatment because I would be wasting my dialysate. I just want to clean without pulling fluid!
