The VitaSmart™ Machine Perfusion System provides clinicians with the ability to implement hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) protocols with an easy-to-use and simple-to-setup system requiring minimal personnel to monitor perfusion progress.
Oxygen is needed at cold pumping temperatures as the mitochondrial respiration switches from anaerobic to aerobic metabolism.
The HOPE protocol supplies a significant upload of cellular adenine nucleotides to reduce ischemic injury.
