Organ perfusion device

An organ perfusion device, comprising:

• a fluid container configured to hold an organ submerged in a perfusion fluid having a concentration of oxygen dissolved therein;
• a first channel comprising a first inlet configured to be submerged in the fluid container, a first outlet configured to be configured to be connected to the organ, and a first pump configured to circulate the perfusion fluid from the first inlet to the first outlet;
• a second channel comprising a second inlet configured to be submerged in the fluid container, a second outlet configured to be configured to be connected to the organ, and a second pump configured to circulate the perfusion fluid from the second inlet to the second outlet;
• and
• an oxygenation means configured to inject and dissolve oxygen in the perfusion fluid;
• wherein the oxygenation means is configured to create a difference between the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the perfusion fluid leaving the first outlet and the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the perfusion fluid leaving the second outlet.

A method of perfusing an organ submerged in a fluid container in a perfusion fluid having a concentration of oxygen dissolved therein, the method comprising:

• submerging a first outlet of a first fluid channel in the fluid container, the first fluid channel comprising a first inlet submerged in the fluid container and a first pump circulating the perfusion fluid from the first inlet to the first outlet;
• submerging a second outlet of a second fluid channel in the fluid container, the second fluid channel comprising a second inlet submerged in the fluid container and a second pump circulating the perfusion fluid from the second inlet to the second outlet;
• and
• creating a difference between the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the perfusion fluid leaving the first outlet and the concentration of oxygen dissolved in the perfusion fluid leaving the second outlet.
