ABSTRACT:
A device for maintaining, in situ, the viability of an organ of a non-heart beating cadaver includes a container for receiving a supply of solution, and a submersible pump contained in the container. An inflow catheter is partially inserted into the abdominal cavity of the cadaver. A first conduit is connected between the pump and the inflow catheter. A return catheter is inserted at least partially into the abdominal cavity. A second conduit is provided between the container and the return catheter. Solution is suctioned from the abdominal cavity by a third conduit connected to the pump and the second conduit and a venturi-type device connected in series with the third conduit and situated in proximity to the point at which the third conduit is connected to the second conduit. The third conduit provides solution to the venturi-device, which causes solution in the cavity to be drawn into the return catheter and the second conduit and to be returned to the container.
