Perla® Cold Preservation Solution is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution intended for hypothermic preservation, flushing and storage of human organs (kidney and livers).
Perla® is indicated in liver and kidney preservation in abdominal transplantation procedures.
Perla® is intended to washout / flushing of the organ, allowing the graft protection during cold ischemia by removing blood, cooling down the organ to reduce metabolism and protection of Ischemia / Reperfusion Injury at the time of organ removal from the donor in preparation for storage, transportation and eventual transplantation into the recipient.
Perla® must be cooled to 2° to 6 °C prior to use.
Perla® is not intended for continuous machine perfusion.
Regulatory
CE-marked Class III. Not approved in other countries.
Registration and Distribution agreements are currently in process in various countries.
