OCS™ Heart
The only FDA approved technology for extracorporeal perfusion and preservation of donor hearts in the U.S.
The OCS Heart is a portable, warm perfusion, and monitoring system designed to keep a donor heart at a human-like, metabolically active state. By monitoring key parameters of the functioning heart, physicians may use their medical judgement to assess a potentially suitable heart’s condition and viability.
OCS Heart EXPAND Clinical Trial Results
U.S. pivotal trial to evaluate the Organ Care System for use with unutilized donor hearts that may not meet current standard acceptance criteria for transplantation.
270+ DCD Heart Transplants
OCS™ Heart is the only system used in DCD heart transplantation worldwide
With 75 patients enrolled, the following types of expanded criteria donor hearts were used:
- 37% – Expected ischemic time >4 hours
- 31% – 20 or more mins of down time
- 28% – LVEF of 40-50%
- 13% – Older donors >55 years
- 8% – Coronary artery disease
- (31 Patients had 2 or more indications)
Primary Effectiveness Endpoints
UNOS data showed donor hearts used for the OCS Heart EXPAND Trial had been declined for transplantation on average 66 times by other transplant centers before reaching an OCS transplant center.
Patient Survival
Absence of severe primary heart graft dysfunction (PGD) in the first 24 hours post-transplantation

The OCS Lung, OCS Heart and OCS Liver are all CE marked devices. The OCS Lung is an FDA approved device for standard and expanded1 criteria donor lungs. The OCS Heart is an FDA approved device for expanded2 criteria donor hearts. The OCS Liver is an FDA approved device for DCD3 and DBD donor Livers.
1. Expanded criteria lungs is defined as donor lung pairs initially deemed unacceptable for procurement and transplantation based on limitations of cold static preservation.
2. Expanded criteria hearts is defined as donor hearts that are deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of prolonged cold static cardioplegic preservation (e.g., > 4 hours of cross-clamp time).
3. DCD livers < 55 years old with < 30 mins warm ischemia time and macrosteatosis < 15%.
Only multi-organ platform used with donor lungs, hearts and livers
Largest user base at 70 leading US and global transplant centers
Largest body of literature and clinical evidence in warm perfusion
Most extensive training program including 24/7 clinical support
