Organ Recovery Systems hosted a series of webinars previewing the newest, most exciting, and relevant innovations in kidney perfusion and transplant as part of the latest update to LifePort Kidney Transporters. Participants from organ procurement organizations, hospitals, and transplant centers joined Clinical & Technical Advisor Jake Finnerty and ORS team members introducing a web-based platform that enables real-time tracking, management, and troubleshooting of LifePort Kidney Transporters throughout the preservation process. Specific to each organization’s account, the portal is accessible from any computer, phone, or tablet with internet connection, giving users a convenient, one-stop location to view and manage cases and LifePort devices.

Managing and creating cases with ease

The training focused on the platform’s intuitive and simple navigation, showcasing the step-by-step process for users to create or manage new or existing cases. Once a case is created, key details and identifying information like UNOS ID, organ laterality information, or chain of custody are securely stored to ensure transparency and eliminate ambiguity.

The session also highlighted the flexibility of the GPS and remote monitoring, allowing users to control when data tracking begins, whether immediately after infusion or at a more convenient time. Perfusionists can include notes directly to the case file, supporting seamless internal communication and eliminating gaps or confusion in the chain of custody. Adjustable notification settings allow transplant teams to guarantee real-time alerts on organ status reach the right people without delay.

Fully customizable data dashboard

The webinar offered a look at the LifePort data dashboard, starting when a kidney is connected and a case is created. The data graph displays all critical metrics needed for the transplant journey, such as ice temperature, renal resistance, flow rate, pressure levels and other vitals. The dashboard is fully customizable, permitting users to select which data to prioritize and display. In addition, LifePort sends read-outs every five minutes so no important alerts are missed.

A key part of the demo was the built-in tracking map showing GPS and cellular pings for precise location updates, confirming accuracy when locating the LifePort Kidney Transporter. From the dashboard, users can easily access and export PDFs of all data for documentation or sharing. As an added convenience, Organ Recovery Systems has made the entire portal fully accessible via mobile device, giving transplant teams access to the same data and functionality on-the-go.

Integration with DonorNet and added FAA compliance

Organ Recovery Systems values feedback from partners and has designed the portal to integrate seamlessly with DonorNet. Users can simply copy and paste the portal link into the DonorNet “Donor Highlights” section, allowing physicians or providers to view LifePort and organ information as often as needed. This alleviates additional pressure on perfusionists, staff, or surgical coordinators while streamlining the allocation process.

To reinforce and continue the LifePort Kidney Transporter’s 20 years of air transportation and portability, the remote monitoring and GPS are fully FAA compliant. During in-cabin air transport, Flight Safe mode activates automatically, and cellular communications re-establish within 15 minutes of landing, warranting uninterrupted tracking during travel.

Looking ahead in 2026

At Organ Recovery Systems, we protect each donor’s gift, every time. We are committed to excellence and supporting donation and transplant professionals by innovating technologies that not only improve patient outcomes but also keep the end users in mind.
