Treatment and study plan

OCS Liver

Device

OCS Liver will be used to preserve the donor liver

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of donor livers preserved by OCS in a near physiologic state.

    Time frame: Within 1 day of organ retrieval

  2. Number of events directly related to the use of the OCS Liver that led to the donor liver being deemed not clinically acceptable and, as a result, not transplanted

    Time frame: Within 1 day of organ retrieval

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of donor livers maintained in a metabolically active and functioning state during preservation.

    Time frame: Within 1 day of organ retrieval

  2. Number of donor livers monitored for perfusate temperatures, SvO2, hematocrit, Hepatic Artery flow rates, Portal Vein flow rate, Hepatic Artery pressure, Portal vein pressure, and bile production during preservation.

    Time frame: Within 1 day of organ retrieval

  3. Frequency of liver graft-related serious adverse events

    Time frame: 30 days after transplantation
