Continue for both Option A and Option B:
6.
Using aseptic technique
, unstrap, open and remove the clamp/cannula.
7.
Using aseptic technique
, perform the pre-transplant preparation on the kidney.
8. Once the kidney has been removed from the Transporter, remove the drape, replace the Perfusion
Circuit Lids and Outer Cover on the LifePort, power off the device and prepare it for return to the
home base station. The Kidney Cradle and disposable cannula should be disposed of in accordance
with local guidelines for biomedical waste.
Capturing and Downloading Data
Introduction
As an optional procedure, data being generated and stored on board the LifePort can be downloaded
and stored on a computer, using a LifePort Kidney Transporter Data Cable (supplied). Data from previous
procedures can also be downloaded from files stored on the LifePort.
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 on the back
of the unit. Whenever LifePort Kidney Transporter is in Infuse Mode, its internal computer is capturing
perfusion and status data once every 10 seconds.
Data recording begins when LifePort Kidney Transporter enters the Infuse mode for the first time once
powered up. Data recording continues until the LifePort is powered down.
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 of LifePort Kidney Transporter’s five data files 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 turning LifePort Kidney
Transporter off, then on and resuming the perfusion. The stored data includes:
•
Sequential record number
•
Infuse time
•
Pressure set point
•
Measured systolic pressure
•
Average pressure
•
Measured diastolic pressure
•
Flow rate
•
Organ resistance
•
Ice Container temperature
•
Bubble Trap temperature
•
Error condition status (presence or absence of each error condition)
•
Perfusion system state and sub state
•
LifePort Kidney Transporter Cover status (open/closed)
