Organ perfusion device and method

An organ perfusion device, comprising:

• a disposable assembly including a first housing supporting:
• (i) an inlet for connection to the organ via engagement with an input vessel of the organ, and an outlet for connection to the organ via engagement with an output vessel of the organ;
• and
• (ii) a perfusion circuit including:
• a reservoir configured to hold a perfusion fluid;
• a waste receptacle;
• a plurality of fluid conduits defining:
• a delivery fluid path connecting the reservoir with the inlet;
• a return fluid path, independent of the delivery fluid path, connecting the reservoir with the outlet;
• and
• a waste fluid path, independent of the inlet, the outlet and the return fluid path, connecting the reservoir with the waste receptacle for directing the perfusion fluid from the reservoir to the waste receptacle without traversing the organ:
• a reusable assembly including a second housing defining a dock configured to releasably support the disposable assembly in an operational state;
• the second housing supporting:
• (iii) a first flow control device configured to selectively prevent or allow fluid flow from the reservoir to the organ via the delivery fluid path;
• and
• (iv) a second flow control device configured to selectively prevent or allow fluid flow from the reservoir to the waste receptacle via the waste fluid path when the first flow control device prevents fluid flow from the reservoir to the organ via the delivery fluid path;
• wherein the first flow control device and the second flow control device are brought into engagement with respective ones of the fluid conduits when the first housing is supported by the dock, to selectively prevent or allow fluid flow via the delivery fluid path and the waste fluid path respectively when the first housing is supported by the dock.
