The TransMedics OCS Lung System is designed to preserve donor lungs prior to transplantation. The TransMedics OCS Lung System includes a portable enclosure with mechanical and electrical components used to warm, ventilate and perfuse the lungs (i.e., supply with fluid), as well as a lung preservation solution combined with packed red blood cells. Prior to transplantation, the device enables the transplant team to monitor and assess the donor lungs while they are being perfused.
This approval expands the indications for use to include preservation of donor lung pairs initially deemed unacceptable for transplantation based on limitations of cold storage preservation.
