  • Patent number: 9756851
    Abstract: Compositions, methods, systems/devices and media are provided for maintaining a harvested organ in a functioning and viable state prior to implantation. The organ perfusion apparatus includes a preservation chamber for storing the organ during the preservation period. A perfusion circuit is provided having a first line for providing an oxygenated fluid to the organ, and a second line for carrying depleted fluid away from the organ. The perfusion apparatus also includes a device operably associated with the perfusion circuit for maintaining the organ at a substantially normothermic temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070010728
    Abstract: A system for monitoring tissue pH calculates and displays integrated pH values over one or more user-selectable integration time periods. The values can be displayed in a numerical and/or graphical format. In the graphical format, measured values of pH are displayed as curves. A cursor can be positioned along the curves to display an instantaneous measured value at any point. The integration periods are highlighted relative to the curves. If the cursor is positioned within a region corresponding to an integration period, the display indicates the integrated value of pH from the start of that integration period to the time corresponding to the position of the cursor.
