摘要：This invention is a transportable organ preservation system that substantiallyincreases the time during which the organ can be maintained viable for successfulimplantation into a human recipient. A chilled oxygenated nutrient solution is pumpedthrough the vascular bed of the organ after excision of the organ from the donor and

during transport. The device of the present invention uses flexible permeable tubing tooxygenate the perfusion fluid while the COproduced by the organ diffuses out of theperfusion fluid. One pressurized two liter “C” cylinder that contains 255 liters of oxygenat standard temperature and pressure can supply oxygen for up to 34 hours of perfusiontime. The device uses a simple electric pump driven by a storage battery to circulate theperfusion fluid through the organ being transported. The vessel containing the organ tobe transported is held at 4° C. by coolant blocks.
