The cassette is a self-contained circulation system consisting of an organ chamber, a venous and arterial reservoir, a bubble trap, a membrane oxygenator, a heat exchanger and pulsatile pump head. The system can provide circulation of one liter of PPS (machine perfusate) to one or two kidneys. The kidneys are attached to the arterial ports either in single fashion, or can be placed enbloc.
A collection of sterile devices intended to support and provide continuous physiologic organ perfusion to a donated kidney(s) during its preservation, evaluation, and transport in a kidney donor-organ preservation/transport system from the donor to the receiver hospital where the organ will be transplanted into the recipient. It typically includes a blood/fluid perfusion circuit, reservoir, pump, oxygenator, warmer, a urine collection reservoir, flow/pressure sensors, access and control valves, cannulae/connectors/tools to connect the appropriate vessels of the kidney and tubing lines, filters and bags to add/remove blood and solutions. This is a single-use device.
