Often referred to as a “Heart-in-a-Box”, the TransMedics Organ Care System for Heart is a revolutionary system that preserves donor organs.
The OCS™ Heart acts as a miniature intensive care unit that keeps organs alive and healthy by preserving them in a natural state that mimics the human body so that organs can remain viable for transplant along the way to recipients.
The OCS heart is under FDA review for use with utilized donor hearts. It is currently in clinical trials for use with unutilized donor hearts. OCS heart is an investigational device and is, therefore, limited by federal law to investigational use in the US. It is available in Europe and Australia.
