Centralized Ex-Vivo Lung Evaluation System (EVLP)
Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a special technique used by physicians to assess and re-evaluate donor lungs outside of the human body. The EVLP system is designed to provide the lungs with an environment similar to being in the body: the lungs are warmed up to normothermic temperature while being perfused. The lungs are then ventilated to gather data on how well the lung is performing outside of the donor’s body.
EVLP increases the supply of transplantable lungs to address needless patient deaths on the transplant waitlist.
CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by Federal law to investigational use.
