Abstract
A transport container and methods for preserving an organ at a hypothermic temperature. The transport container can maintain the organ at a temperature of 6-8° C. for improved results after transplantation. The preservation of the organ within this range can improve transplantation outcomes.
Claims1
A method for hypothermic transport of a heart within a transport container, the method comprising:
- providing a transport container and a rigid canister, the rigid canister configured to regulate pressure inside the rigid canister;
- arranging eutectic cooling blocks within the transport container;
- placing a heart inside the rigid canister;
- placing the rigid canister inside the transport container;
- with the heart inside the rigid canister and the rigid canister inside the transport container, coupling a lid with the transport container to form an insulated environment within the transport container;
- transporting the heart within the transport container while:
- the eutectic cooling blocks maintain a temperature of at least 6° C. and less than or equal to 8° C. within the rigid canister during a preservation time;
- and
- the rigid canister maintains constant pressure within the rigid canister during preservation;
- and
- measuring, using a temperature sensor, a temperature inside the rigid canister during preservation.
