Cardiology organ preservation transport system SherpaPak®

for transplantationhearton casters

One of the leading FDA-cleared and CE-marked preservation devices for heart transportation, the Paragonix SherpaPak Cardiac Transport System (CTS) offers a sterile, controlled environment that is clinically proven to minimize post-transplant complications. Delivering a New Standard in Heart Preservation Traditionally, donor hearts destined for transplantation were placed into commercial-grade coolers filled with ice to transport it to the recipient. This method presents a multitude of uncontrolled variables that can impact the function of the heart post-transplant. Clinical evidence has shown that ice transport can expose the donor heart to freezing temperatures, leading to irreversible cellular damage. ‍ The Paragonix SherpaPak CTS is an Advanced Organ Preservation device specifically designed to standardize the variables of donor heart preservation, providing physicians with stable cooling technology driven by real-time data monitoring. Technological Advantage of Advanced Organ Preservation Traditional Ice Storage Uses commercial-grade coolers unregulated by the FDA Packs heart in layered plastic bags filled with cold liquid solution Exposes cold liquid solutions - and the donor heart - to an environment of 0°C ice Unpredictable temperature reductions within the ice cooler are not monitored during transport SherpaPak CTS An FDA-cleared and CE-marked preservation device intended to protect the donor heart in transit Suspends heart in an isolated, pressure-controlled canister of cold liquid solution Utilizes SherpaCool™ phase-change technology to prevent exposure to excessive temperature reduction Records temperature, location, and case status in real-time
