About Kidney Assist Transporter Ntchito Yaikulu: Chipangizo Chosungira ndi Kutumiza Ziwalo za Thupi

Kidney Assist Transporter ndi chipangizo chachipatala chosungira ndi kutumiza ziwalo za thupi zoperekedwa. Dongosololi limapereka kaduka ka mafuta a mpweya wa okusijeni panthawi yokonzekera, kusunga, ndi kukonzanso. Kaduka ka nthawi zonse ka okusijeni wa 100 peresenti kamathandiza pa khalidwe la chiwalo. Zida ziwiri za ayezi zokhala ndi chotchinga chabwino zimapereka kuzizira kolimba komanso kwanthawi yayitali. Malo olumikizirana othandizidwa ndi LED amapangitsa kagwiritsidwe ntchito kukhala komveka bwino komanso kosavuta. Zigawo zonse zogwira ntchito, kuphatikizapo chotengera cha mpweya wa okusijeni, zimaphatikizidwa mu chipangizo chimodzi chocheperako komanso cholimba chomwe ndi chotetezeka panthawi yotumiza.

Unique Properties
Main purpose was to develop a product that offers oxygenated machine perfusion at all different timepoints in the pathway of organ donation: during preconditioning, preservation and reconditioning. The design challenge was to make the product suitable for all these different situations. Sturdy and safe during transport. Logical and intuitive to use during installation and surgery. Sterile. Sustainable. With special attention to user experience, in combination with an iconic visual appearance.
Dimensions & Packaging
599 mm x 392 mm x 345 mm

Production Technology
Polyester technology, polyester/acrylate/aluminium
Design Challenge
Hardest part of the design activity was: how to achieve a compact product by integration of a large number of functional components, in such a way that handling of the product remained easy and logical. On top of this challenge of course, the task to accomplish an attractive design suitable for serial production. To keep a long story short: a complex but fantastic project!
Research
Research program was focussed on improving the processes of preconditioning, preservation and reconditioning donor-organs by the use of oxygenation. This resulted in substantial improvement for various organs. Further research was dedicated to meticulously controlling the flow process, and maintaining a stable cooling level for a long period of time.
Inspiration
Extended research has shown that 100% oxygenation during organ perfusion results in substantial improvement of kidney preservation and consequently in survival of patients. A great opportunity to develop a unique product, additionally offering more professional quality than competition regarding technical execution, ease of use and reduction of disposable components. Our focus on finding a compact overall solution led to a completely integrated concept, including even the oxygen gascontainer.
Project Duration
The design project started in April 2019 with both Xvivo-Organ Assist and Brightbird Design Center in Groningen, the Netherlands. Testing program of prototypes started in September 2020.
Operation Flow
Continuous perfusion flow through the organ, with 100% oxygen, guarantees optimal performance. Double ice-units with improved insulation ensures stronger and longer cooling. LED-supported selective user interface provides logical and intuitive process operation in all circumstances.
