General-purpose donor-organ preservation/transport systems are designed to maintain donated organs—such as hearts, kidneys, livers, or pancreases—in a stable, near-physiologic state during transport from the donor to the transplant hospital. These systems provide controlled environments, including temperature regulation, oxygenation, and perfusion, to extend viability and reduce the risk of damage during transfer.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices rather than drugs, as they do not contain or deliver pharmaceuticals. They are often classified based on their complexity and intended use, with variations in supply chains depending on regional healthcare systems and transplant protocols. Availability may depend on organ type and institutional requirements.
