Company Overview
Outset Medical is a privately held company backed by a top-tier syndicate of investors, including Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, Perceptive Advisors, The Partner Fund and Warburg Pincus. We are a pioneering medical technology company focused on reducing the cost and complexity of dialysis. The company’s Tablo™ system is the consumer product version of what today is a terribly complex and prohibitively cumbersome machine for patients to use themselves. We combined consumer product simplicity, wireless data transmission and real-time integrated water purification to enable dialysis anytime, in any setting, managed by anyone.
Tablo is the first new dialysis technology approved by FDA in over 15 years. Designed to dramatically improve the care experience for patients and the cost-efficiency for providers and payers, Tablo is aimed at enabling service model innovation in a space that has not fundamentally changed since the 1980s. The company is in the early stages of full commercial launch in US dialysis clinics and hospitals, with a clinical trial underway to expand FDA clearance to include the use of the device at home.
