Organ transporter with tilt and/or shock sensing

摘要

An apparatus for perfusing an organ or tissue includes a perfusion circuit configured to perfuse the organ or tissue; at least one shock and/or tilt detector such as an accelerometer; and a controller. The controller may be configured to control perfusion based upon a signal received from the accelerometer, which may include stopping and/or starting the perfusion based upon the signal. The controller may also or alternatively sense and/or record shocks experienced by the apparatus.

1. An apparatus for perfusing an organ or tissue, comprising:
a perfusion circuit configured to perfuse the organ or tissue; and a tilt detector sensor connected to the perfusion circuit and configured to detect an angle of the apparatus with respect to a normal operational altitude of the apparatus such that the perfusion of the organ or tissue stops when the angle exceeds a predetermined angle.
