INDICATIONS FOR USE
LifePort Kidney Transporter (LKT) system is intended to be used for the continuous hypothermic machine perfusion of
kidneys for the preservation, transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient.
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Straight Cannula is used when the vessel to be perfused ends without a
patch or when potential intimal lining damage is not a concern.
The complete LifePort Kidney Transporter system is comprised of the following components:
• LifePort Kidney Transporter (LKT100P/LKT101P)
• LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Perfusion Circuit (LKT201)
• LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Sterile Drape (LKT300)
• LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Cannula (CAN/UCAN)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Prepare LifePort Kidney Transporter and LifePort Kidney Transporter Perfusion Circuit as described in their Instructions
for Use. If cannulating multiple vessels, refer to LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Coupler Instructions for Use.
CAUTION: Where noted, perform the following procedure on an aseptic field using aseptic technique.
1.
Using standard aseptic technique, introduce LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Straight Cannula
onto the sterile field.
2.
Using standard aseptic technique, insert LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Straight Cannula tip
no further than necessary into the vessel. Minimizing the length of the cannula tip being inserted into
the vessel will allow for resection of that segment of the vessel if necessary.
3.
Using standard aseptic technique, secure the vessel in place using silk ties, vessel loops, or another
appropriate material. A groove in the tip is provided for positioning and securing.
4.
Using standard aseptic technique, place the kidney in the Kidney Cradle and snap LifePort Kidney
Transporter Disposable Straight Cannula into the Cannula Mount.
5.
Using standard aseptic technique, adjust the height of the Cannula Mount and rotation of the cannula
to comfortably position the vessel.
6.
Using standard aseptic technique, visually inspect the vessels and Coupler tubing, ensuring there are
no twists or occlusions.
7.
Using standard aseptic technique, secure the Mesh Organ Restraint over the kidney in the Kidney
Cradle, allowing for slight swelling while being perfused.
NOTE: Follow the procedure in the LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Perfusion Circuit Instructions for
Use on how to place the kidney and Kidney Cradle within LifePort Kidney Transporter Disposable Perfusion
Circuit.
