Sub-Normothermic Machine Preservation and Assessment
Human kidneys from HTP deceased donors will be transported to the Sponsor's central preservation and assessment facility and placed onto a machine perfusion system in a sterile operating room for a brief period of Sub-Normothermic Machine Perfusion (SNMP). Basic parameters including internal renal resistance, oxygen, and electrolyte levels will be recorded using standard point-of-care hospital analyzers. Accepted kidneys will be transported to a participating transplant center using a portable oxygenated LifePort Hypothermic Machine Preservation (HMP) device.
