Abstract
A medical carbon monoxide generator provides for a solid carbon material that may be heated at substantially normal atmospheric pressure to provide a source of medical quality carbon monoxide. The heating source may be an electrical filament or laser controllable by a microcontroller to provide accurate delivery rates and amounts. In one embodiment, a replaceable cartridge holding the carbon material may be used.
Claims16
An organ transplant container system comprising:
- an insulated container for receiving a transplant organ held in a storage liquid;
- a carbon monoxide generator assembly attached to the insulated container and communicating with the storage liquid to provide a source of carbon monoxide to the storage liquid by heating a solid state carbon source in atmospheric pressure air wherein the carbon monoxide generator assembly provides a releasably connectable cartridge including a reaction chamber holding the solid state carbon source communicating with the storage liquid;
- and
- a scrubber element communicating with the storage liquid to vent gas from the storage liquid into the scrubber element and to scrub carbon monoxide from the vented gas.
