We observed infection rates associated with the LifeSite Hemodialysis Access System, a novel dialysis device consisting of 2 subcutaneously implanted valves accessed by repeated use fibrous tissue tracts, 4.8 total infections and 8.1 first episodes per 1000 patient-days. These are higher than those elsewhere, which may be related to in population chronically ill patients, learning curve device, or inherent qualities device.
