Administration and monitoring of nitric oxide in ex vivo fluid

摘要

To provide an improved system of a method for preserving organs, tissues, limbs and other biological materials.SOLUTION: There is provided a system for delivering and monitoring nitric oxide (NO), comprising: a NO delivery device for administering NO to an ex vivo fluid by contacting the ex vivo fluid with a gas comprising a NO concentration in the range from 0.1 ppm to 300 ppm; and a monitoring device 425 for monitoring NO and/or a NO marker in the ex vivo fluid. The monitoring device may be in communication with the NO delivery devices 445, 446 and the NO delivery device may adjust the NO administration based on the monitoring of the NO and/or NO marker.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
