Patent ID: 8585380

Claim:
A pump interface assembly removable from a pump driver assembly in an organ care system that maintains an organ in a physiological state, the pump interface assembly comprising: a housing including an exterior side and an interior side; a first deformable membrane in fluid tight interconnection with the interior side of the housing to define a chamber between an interior side of the deformable membrane and an interior side of the housing, wherein the housing is configured to removably dock with the pump driver assembly and includes: a flange extending from the exterior side of the housing and configured to mate with a slot defined in the pump driver assembly; and a projection disposed on the exterior side of the housing configured to abut one or more surfaces of the pump driver assembly to force the housing in a direction toward a pump driver of the pump driver assembly as the housing is rotated relative to the pump driver assembly, to form a fluid tight seal between the housing and the pump driver assembly, a fluid inlet for receiving an organ perfusion fluid and for providing the fluid into the chamber, and a fluid outlet for expelling the organ perfusion fluid out of the chamber in response to the pump driver deforming the first deformable membrane in a direction toward the interior side of the housing wherein the organ care system and the pump driver assembly can be reused more than once and the pump interface and housing can be discarded after a single use of housing an organ maintained in a physiologic state.
