OCS™ Lung TOP Registry For Donor Lungs for Transplantation

"The OCS™ Lung System is a portable organ perfusion, ventilation, and monitoring medical device intended to preserve donor lungs in a near physiologic, ventilated, and perfused state prior to transplantation. This technology was designed to overcome the limitation of cold storage and has the potential to expand the utilization of donor lungs. The OCS™ Lung System accomplishes this by performing 3 key functions:~* Reducing ischemic injury through the use of warm, oxygenated blood based perfusion.~* Optimizing the lung condition by ventilatory recruitment maneuvers and high-oncotic perfusion solution supplemented with hormones and nutrients.~* Allowing for ex-vivo functional assessment of the donor lung during preservation and prior to transplant."
