Indications for Use

The Sherpa Pak Cardiac Transport System is intended to be used for the static hypothermic preservation of hearts, up to 4 hours, during transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient, using cold storage solutions indicated for use with the heart.

Device Story

Device provides cold ischemic storage and transport for donor hearts. System components: outer shipper with non-ice temperature-controlled packaging (phase change material, PIR insulating panels, EPS panels); inner/outer hard shell container (Sherpa Pak/Sherpa Pak Shell) for heart immersion/suspension in cold storage fluid; integrated temperature display and timer. Used by organ procurement personnel during transport to transplant centers. Heart is placed in rigid barrier container with cold storage solution; system maintains hypothermic environment. Output: visual temperature and elapsed time monitoring. Benefit: consistent, robust thermal protection for donor heart during transit, reducing risk of temperature excursions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing demonstrated device robustness, ability to protect the heart during transport, and maintenance of temperature throughout the 4-hour duration. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, sensitization, and intracutaneous testing.

Technological Characteristics

System includes outer shipper with PIR insulating panels, EPS panels, and phase change material (PCM) cold packs. Inner/outer hard shell containers (Sherpa Pak/Sherpa Pak Shell) provide rigid barrier. Components (Sherpa Pak, Shell, heart connector) sterilized by gamma irradiation. Integrated electronic temperature display and timer. Static hypothermic storage principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for static hypothermic preservation of donor hearts for up to 4 hours during transport prior to transplantation into a recipient, using compatible cold storage solutions.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An isolated kidney perfusion and transport system and accessories is a device that is used to support a donated or a cadaver kidney and to maintain the organ in a near-normal physiologic state until it is transplanted into a recipient patient. This generic type of device may include tubing, catheters, connectors, an ice storage or freezing container with or without bag or preservatives, pulsatile or nonpulsatile hypothermic isolated organ perfusion apparatus with or without oxygenator, and disposable perfusion set.
