Overview
The Servator M SALF Solution is a Set, Perfusion, Kidney, Disposable device, classified as Class II under FDA regulations (876.5880). It is designed for perfusion-based preservation of kidneys during organ removal from donors, facilitating preparation, transportation, and eventual transplantation into recipients. The solution maintains organ viability through controlled hypothermic conditions, ensuring optimal conditions for subsequent surgical procedures.
This sterile, pyrogen-free solution is supplied as a single-use, disposable kit and is intended for use in both urological and gastroenterological settings. It must be stored between 2°C and 25°C (35.6°F–77°F), with perfusion ideally conducted at 5°C, though a range of 4°C–8°C is acceptable. Authorized under FDA 510(k) clearance (K211842) and MDR compliance, the device adheres to strict regulatory standards for medical-grade perfusion solutions.

Questions
What clinical specialties is the Servator M SALF Solution intended for use in, and why does this matter for my practice?
The Servator M SALF Solution is authorized for use in both urology and gastroenterology settings, as indicated by its advisory committee classification (GU) and medical specialty description. This matters because the device is specifically designed for perfusion-based preservation of kidneys, which is a critical step in organ transplantation procedures. While primarily used in urology for kidney transplantation, its inclusion in gastroenterology may relate to procedural support or cross-disciplinary training environments where organ preservation techniques are relevant.
Is the Servator M SALF Solution reusable, or is it meant for single-use only? How does this affect storage and handling?
The Servator M SALF Solution is intended for single-use only, as explicitly stated in the device description. This means each kit must be discarded after one use to maintain sterility and safety. Since it is sterile and pyrogen-free, proper storage between 2°C and 25°C (35.6°F–77°F) is critical to preserve its integrity. Avoid refrigeration below 2°C, as this could compromise the solution’s effectiveness for hypothermic perfusion.
What temperature range should I use during perfusion, and why does this matter for kidney viability?
The Servator M SALF Solution is designed for perfusion at 5°C, though a range of 4°C–8°C is acceptable. Maintaining this controlled hypothermic environment is essential because it slows metabolic activity in the kidney, reducing cellular damage during transport and storage. This preserves organ viability, ensuring the kidney remains suitable for transplantation when it reaches the recipient. Deviating from this range may risk compromising the organ’s condition.
Are there multiple sizes or models of the Servator M SALF Solution, and how do I determine which one to use?
The provided data lists multiple registration numbers (e.g., 3007685782, 3010877980, etc.), which typically correspond to different kit configurations or sizes for varying kidney perfusion needs. While exact specifications (e.g., tubing length, chamber volume) aren’t detailed here, these variations likely accommodate different organ sizes or procedural workflows. Consult the manufacturer’s documentation or your procurement team to select the appropriate model based on your facility’s standard practices or the donor kidney’s characteristics.
What regulatory pathways does the Servator M SALF Solution follow, and how does this impact its use in my facility?
The Servator M SALF Solution is cleared under FDA 510(k) (K211842) and complies with EU MDR (Medical Device Regulation) standards. This means it has undergone rigorous review to ensure safety and effectiveness for its intended use in kidney perfusion preservation. Your facility should verify that the device meets your institution’s procurement and compliance requirements, particularly if you operate under FDA or EU regulatory frameworks. The clearance also confirms it is substantially equivalent to predicate devices, reinforcing its reliability for clinical use.
