Date:10/1/2007

LAWRENCE, Mass., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NxStage Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTM), the manufacturer of the NxStage System One(TM) portable kidney dialysis machine, today announced that the Company has completed its acquisition of Medisystems Corporation and certain affiliated entities ("Medisystems") for 6.5 million shares of NxStage common stock.

"I believe that we now have the components in place to realize the significant opportunities that we see in each segment of the dialysis market - hospital, in-center and home-based therapies. Our acquisition of Medisystems establishes us as a vertically integrated manufacturer and distributor of innovative dialysis products, with greatly expanded scale and capabilities," said Jeffrey H. Burbank, President & CEO of NxStage Medical. "I am more confident than ever in our ability to continue to lead and grow the home hemodialysis market, as we begin a new era for NxStage."

In addition to assembling the NxStage System One cartridge, Medisystems develops, manufactures and distributes disposables for in-center dialysis therapy. Medisystems is a U.S. market leader in hemodialysis blood tubing sets and A.V. fistula needles. For the first six months of 2007, Medisystems recorded $32.0 million in revenues, including $3.7 million in sales to NxStage.

"NxStage has demonstrated the ability to create significant value in the dialysis marketplace. I am very excited about the combination of our businesses and believe it is a great opportunity for Medisystems' customers and employees," commented David S. Utterberg, President and CEO of Medisystems.
