The Paragonix Advantage

Shifting the standard of care
After a recent change in donor organ allocation policies, public data has shown that transplant programs across the United States have had to travel greater distances and raise ischemic times in order to increase access to donor organs.1,2 This industrial shift in allocation calls for an advancement in preservation standards.

Traditional hypothermic preservation places the organ on unmonitored ice
Ice has a maximum temperature of 0°C, and is often below 0°C
exposing donor organs to uncontrolled, potentially subzero temperatures
which can inadvertently risk irreversible cellular damage³
Paragonix Advanced Organ Preservation offers control over the previously uncontrollable
maintaining an optimal temperature range above the risk of freezing injury,
with real-time monitoring and tracking insights
to ensure every donor organ has received Every Possible Advantage®
