Now doctors can test the potential of a donor’s organ on the recipient even before conducting the transplant, thanks to OrganOx metra, a machine with smart technology that can keep a liver alive and suitable for transplant for 24 hours. The device which can preserve organs, has a rugged, robust design, an extended battery life and a self-regulating oxygen supply. It is made of a simple control panel and a pre-assembled sterile, disposable circuit. The device’s completely automated perfusion maintains physiological temperature, flows, pressures, oxygenation, records bile production and exhibits the results on its in-built graphical user interface.
