Study Arms (3)
LungGuard patients
Patients whose donor lung(s) was transported with the LungGuard device.
Standard Transport Patients
Patients whose donor lung(s) was transported with a method other than the LungGuard
BAROGuard Patients
Patients whose donor lung(s) was transported with the BAROGuard device.
Interventions
The LUNGguard is an FDA cleared and is a CE-marked medical device 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 the LUNGguard is up to 8 hours.
The BAROguard (the "System") is ultraportable hypothermic preservation and transport system intended for use with donor lungs. BAROguard is a legally marketed, FDA cleared medical device in the United States. The intended organ storage time for BAROguard™ is up to 8 hours.
Eligibility Criteria
Primary lung transplant candidates at centers that use the LungGuard device
You may qualify if:
- Donor and donor lungs matched to the prospective recipient based upon institutional medical practice
- Registered male or female primary lung transplant candidates including pediatric candidates
You may not qualify if:
- Donor and donor lungs that do not meet institutional clinical requirements for transplantation
- Patients who are incarcerated persons (prisoners)
- Patients who have had a previous major organ transplant (heart, lungs, liver, kidney, pancreas)
- Patients who are receiving multiple organ transplants
