OCS™ Lung

The only FDA approved device for both standard and expanded* criteria donor lungs for transplantation.

The OCS Lung is a portable perfusion, ventilation, and monitoring system that maintains the organ at a near-physiologic state – allowing physicians to assess and improve the condition of lungs between the donor and recipient sites.

*Expanded criteria is defined as donor lung pairs initially deemed unacceptable for procurement and transplantation based on limitations of cold static preservation.

The Benefits of OCS Lung

The only FDA approved device for both standard and expanded* criteria donor lungs for transplantation.

INSPIRE TRIAL RESULTS

OCS Heart has shown a significant reduction of injurious ischemic time compared to cold storage

Improved post-transplant outcomes compared to cold storage

Significantly expanded organ retrieval range while limiting ischemic time

~50% reduction of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) grade 3^†

Significant Reduction of PGD3 within 72 Hours

†PGD3 in the first 72 hours is a severe form of acute lung injury that is a major cause of early morbidity and mortality encountered after lung transplantation. TransMedics OCS Lung significantly reduced PGD3 vs control group in the INSPIRE Trial.

EXPAND TRIAL RESULTS

87% successful usage of donor lungs on OCS that had been rejected for transplant by centers using cold storage

Over 91% patient survival 1-year post-transplant

Declined Lungs for transplantation on average 35 times* by other transplant centers

*UNOS data showed donor lungs used for the OCS Lung EXPAND Trial had been declined for transplantation on average 35 times by other transplant centers before reaching an OCS transplant center.

See how Lee Ann is living her life after transplant for her idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

It’s like taking the donor lungs and putting them in a nice, cozy warm environment and taking care of them and nurturing them.”

Discover why Mike believes the OCS Lung played a pivotal role in his wife’s recovery from a lung transplant for her idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

How could you compare having the organ on ice over a long period of time versus treating it in the OCS Lung device that actually helps improve the tissue and is able to monitor the lung?”

Learn about the role TransMedics OCS played in Silvano’s successful transplant surgery for pulmonary fibrosis.

Time is everything. My surgery was very challenging, it lasted 11-hours. Without the OCS, I feel that I wouldn’t be here now.”

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).
