Clinically Proven • Hypothermic Machine Perfusion
LIFePORT Kidney Transporter
The LIFePORT Kidney Transporter is an advanced hypothermic machine perfusion system designed to improve kidney graft outcomes by preserving organs in a controlled, perfused environment during transport.
Clinical evidence demonstrates significantly improved 1-year and 3-year graft survival when compared with static cold storage, particularly for deceased donor kidneys.
The Clinical Need in Renal Transplantation
LIFePORT technology enables continuous perfusion with a physiologic solution at cold temperatures, minimizing ischemic injury and allowing real-time assessment of organ viability during transport.
Key Benefits
- Improves 1-year and 3-year graft survival
- Reduces incidence of Delayed Graft Function (DGF)
- Real-time monitoring of flow, pressure & resistance
- Portable, lightweight and air-travel compatible
- Perfusion continues from recovery to transplantation
Real-Time Data & Decision Support
The onboard digital interface continuously records temperature, perfusion pressure, flow rate, vascular resistance and perfusion time, providing clinicians with actionable data every 10 seconds.
Integrated GPS/GPRS allows secure transmission of location and performance data, with rapid download via USB.
Safety & Physical Protection
- Ultrasonic bubble detectors prevent air embolism
- Pressure-controlled pump adapts to renal vasculature
- Static cold storage backup for ultimate safety
- Gentle flow to avoid barotrauma during vasodilation
Built for Transport
- Designed for pump-to-OR or OR-to-OR transport
- Fully loaded weight: approx. 20.4 kg (45 lbs)
- One-person lift design
- Eliminates need for separate cold storage
