ABSTRACT:
An organ hypothermic storage unit includes a first container with a removable cover and a plurality of organ receptacles mounted within the first container, each receptacle having a removable cover. A plurality of groups of spacers upon the container bottom wall receive and locate the receptacles spacing them from each other and from the container walls to define a chilling zone within the first container and around each receptacle. Each receptacle mounts upon its interior a thermometer. An outer container having a removable cover receives, supports and encloses the first container defining an insulating air space therebetween. The inner container is adapted to receive and store a quantity of ice within the chilling zone for continuously maintaining an organ in any receptacle at a temperature between 0.degree. and 7.degree. C., for maximal metabolic suppression and preservation thereof until transplant to a recipient. The containers, receptacles and covers thereof are of a clear transparent material.
