This is awesome! Hopefully this will result in more marginal kidneys being placed with aggressive centers that have been logistically difficult in the past. More important now than ever with more and more commercial airlines refusing to transport viable organs!
Today, we are proud to announce that our next-generation donor kidney preservation system, KidneyVault, has received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The KidneyVault System is Paragonix's first-ever perfusion device, integrating streamlined digital monitoring capabilities with portable hypothermic perfusion technology to protect donor kidneys during transport and expand the donor pool. This novel combination of advanced technologies, the first of its kind in kidney transplant, further reinforces our company's ongoing commitment to improve and redefine the standard of care in transplant medicine. This incredible milestone marks Paragonix as the only company with U.S. regulatory clearances for all five solid organs used in transplant procedures.
