Pressure Sensor Cable
—Provides LifePort Kidney Transporter computer with information about the
perfusion pressure felt by the kidney. If the Pressure Sensor connection is broken, LifePort Kidney
Transporter stops and displays an error message.
•
The Infuse and Wash Valves
—Determine whether the perfusate enters (Infuse Valve) or bypasses
(Wash Valve) the kidney. In
INFUSE
mode, the Infuse Valve is open and the Wash Valve is closed,
allowing perfusate to flow into the kidney. In
WASH
Mode and during bubble purge, the Wash Valve is
open and the Infuse Valve is closed, directing the perfusate through the bypass line, directly back into
the perfusate reservoir. The valves are electrically activated.
Electronics

and enable communications over standard computer interfaces. All circuits are contained within LifePort
Kidney Transporter electronics module and include:
•
Computer
•
Batteries and battery charger
•
Communications interface
•
Sensor interface
•
Power supply (a hospital-grade Power Cord is supplied…do not substitute.)

External Connections
LifePort Kidney Transporter connects with an external power source and
other devices through its back panel, which provides a standard AC Power
Cord connector and USB-A and USB-B Data Ports.
Circuit Breaker
Two Circuit Breakers, located on the back panel, trip if a short circuit occurs.
Depressing the button resets the breaker.
Control Panel
The Control Panel is located next to the Pump Deck. The panel can be accessed only when the Cover is
removed, which prevents inadvertent and unauthorized access to the controls.
The display indicates when the Power, Stop, Wash, Prime and Infuse Modes have been selected.
