主权项

1. A method for evaluating a lung for transplant suitability comprising:
positioning the lung in an ex vivo perfusion circuit, flowing a perfusion fluid into the lung through a pulmonary artery interface and flowing the perfusion fluid away from the lung through a pulmonary vein interface, the perfusion fluid being at a physiologic temperature, providing a gas to the lung through a tracheal interface, measuring a first composition of a gas component in the perfusion fluid, and performing an evaluation on the lung based on the first composition.
