Abstract
Devices and methods for perfusing organs by controlling either the perfusion pressure or the perfusate flow rate. The operator may select either method of perfusion control. Also provided are devices and methods for perfusing multiple organs simultaneously on the same device.
Claims8
A method of perfusing at least one organ with a perfusate to maintain organ viability comprising:
- connecting the arterial system of each organ to separate pumps by means of at least one fluid conduit, which pumps are connected to a source of a perfusate, each of said pumps having a pump speed that is independently and selectively controlled to regulate perfusate pressure and perfusate flow rate;
- and
- administering the perfusate to each organ by independently regulating each pump to selectively adjust the pressure and flow rate of the perfusate in the fluid conduit.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
