?:definition
  • Organ preservation systems that provide oxygenated warm perfusion to the organ. These systems typically consist of a mobile unit (e.g., a cart); a pulsatile pump that supplies blood to the organ; a perfusion chamber that keeps the organ functioning; an oxygen and other gases supply module; a solution tubing set to supply organ-specific nutrients that keep the organ functioning; a monitor for system functioning and organ assessment, and batteries. Warm perfusion organ preservation systems are intended to keep organs viable for a longer time and in better conditions than systems using cold perfusion; the batteries included in the system permit its use during transportation. The systems are used to preserve organ (e.g., kidney, liver) viability for a period of time (a few hours) in a healthcare facility while waiting for the transplantation procedure and/or for transportation of organs between facilities (e.g., from the donor place to the recipient hospital).
