Remote Monitoring
LifePort Kidney Transporter is capable of detecting certain situations during perfusion and providing a visual
and audible alert on such events.
When LifePort Kidney Transporter is connected to a network computer, the Data Station software can be setup
to send these alerts via email or text message to any smartphone.
Traveling with LifePort Kidney Transporter
When traveling with LifePort Kidney Transporter, place the LifePort Kidney Transporter on a vehicle seat or in
the trunk. Secure LifePort Kidney Transporter from sliding or rolling. The cart and supply packs can also be
loaded onto the seats or into the trunk.
LifePort Kidney Transporter can withstand the normal handling involved in traveling between hospitals;
however, it should be kept in an upright orientation to minimize the potential for leaks, spills, or air bubbles.
If LifePort Kidney Transporter is transported in a vehicle seat, the standard seatbelt can be used to restrain
LifePort Kidney Transporter while driving.
At a remote recovery site, LifePort Kidney Transporter and supply packs can be reloaded onto the cart, which
can be pushed to the donor operating room.
After the recovery, secure LifePort Kidney Transporter and supplies for travel. Recheck LifePort Kidney
Transporter Cover to make sure it is closed and latched.
Refill Ice / Swap
Batteries
LifePort Kidney Transporter is designed so the fully charged batteries and ice will last for 24 hours of operation
with the Cover in place and latched. Monitor battery and ice levels during kidney preservation on LifePort
Kidney Transporter.
NOTE:
LifePort Kidney Transporter will alert when the batteries have two hours remaining or when the
temperature in the Ice Container reaches 5°C.
Add More Ice
Check that the temperature on the Outer Display is steady and below 8°C.
If the temperature reaches 5°C, LifePort Kidney Transporter displays a visual alert and an audible beep. Open
LifePort Kidney Transporter Cover and visually check the ice level.
If the ice is mostly melted, remove and retain some water from the Ice Container (using a cup, scoop, hand
pump, or electrical pump) and refill with ice and retained water.
NOTE:
This is part of the non-sterile section of LifePort Kidney Transporter and can be performed without
interrupting perfusion.
Replace Batteries
Check the battery level on the Message Display Panel. Whenever LifePort Kidney Transporter is not in transit,
plug in LifePort Kidney Transporter so that the batteries are maintained in a charged condition.
If the batteries are running low, plug LifePort Kidney Transporter into an AC mains electrical outlet, if possible.
If an outlet is not available, the depleted LifePort Kidney Transporter batteries may be replaced with fully
charged LifePort Kidney Transporter batteries. Batteries may be replaced one at a time without disrupting
LifePort Kidney Transporter function.
CAUTION:
Replace the batteries only one at a time to ensure that LifePort Kidney Transporter will
continue to operate.
