Instructions for Use

The Paragonix LUNGguard® (LUNGguard®) is intended to be used for the static hypothermic preservation of lungs during transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient using cold storage solutions indicated for use with the lungs.

The intended organ storage time for LUNGguard® is up to 8 hours.

Donor lungs exceeding clinically accepted static hypothermic preservation times should be evaluated by the transplant surgeon to determine transplantability in accordance with accepted clinical guidelines and in the best medical interest of the intended recipient.

Note: Partial lungs can be transported via LUNGguard® by packaging lungs per institutional protocol and UNOS guidelines.
