Perform the following steps to thoroughly clean and disinfect LifePort Kidney Transporter after each use:
1. If applicable, wipe up any visible contaminants from LifePort Kidney Transporter with a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. Remove and empty Ice Container. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Clean and disinfect all Ice Container
surfaces with 70% isopropanol. Allow to air dry.
3. In circumstances where LifePort Kidney Transporter appears to have more residue or debris than usual,
clean with hospital grade pre-moistened germicidal wipes. Wipe with a dampened soft, lint-free cloth. If
excess residue is not visible, this step is not required.
4. In all cases, clean and disinfect all surfaces of LifePort Kidney Transporter, including but not limited to the
cover, Bubble Detectors, Power Cord, and Control Panel, with 70% isopropanol. Allow to air dry.
WARNING:
To assure proper disinfection, you must allow adequate exposure time for each agent
used.
CAUTION:
Do not immerse LifePort Kidney Transporter.
CAUTION:
Do not allow cleaning solutions to enter the electrical connectors, ventilation holes, or
battery area.
CAUTION:
Ice Container and Ice Container Lid are reusable parts of the LifePort Kidney
Transporter. Do not dispose of them.
Return LifePort Kidney Transporter and Power Cord to Home Base Station. Additionally, the batteries should
be recharged and the supply kits should be repacked in preparation for the next transplant.
Data Capture and Download (Optional)
Optionally, data being generated and stored on LifePort Kidney Transporter can be downloaded and stored on
a computer.
NOTE:
LifePort Kidney Transporter is designed to transmit historical data, excluding perfusion commands. The
Data Cable plugs into the Data Port, a USB connector on the External Connections Panel. Whenever LifePort
Kidney Transporter is in Infuse Mode, it captures perfusion and status data every 10 seconds.
Using A Computer
Data recording begins when LifePort Kidney Transporter enters the
Infuse Mode for the first time after
powering on. Data recording continues until LifePort Kidney Transporter is turned off.
To start a new data file, cycle the power (power off, then power on). LifePort Kidney Transporter can store
a maximum of five
perfusion cases at a time. Files should be downloaded to a computer after each case is
finished. After downloading, the cases can be deleted from LifePort Kidney Transporter.
Each LifePort Kidney Transporter data file can hold up to 48 hours of
perfusion data. If a single perfusion case
runs longer then 48 hours, a new file can be created only by cycling the power and resuming the
perfusion.
The stored data includes:
•
Sequential record number
• Infuse time
• Pressure setpoint
• Average pressure
• Measured systolic and diastolic pressures
• Flow rate
• Organ resistance
• Ice Container and Bubble Trap temperatures
• Error condition status (presence or absence of each error condition)
• Perfusion system state and sub state
• LifePort Kidney Transporter Cover status (open/closed)
