Products
TransMedics' main product is the Organ Care System (OCS™), which is FDA-approved for lung, heart, and liver transplantation indications in the U.S. The OCS™ technology is groundbreaking, allowing organs to be preserved, optimized, and assessed outside the human body. This technology significantly improves transplant success rates and outcomes by overcoming traditional limitations associated with cold storage. Notably, the OCS™ Heart has received FDA PMA approval for both DBD (Donation after Brain Death) and DCD (Donation after Circulatory Death) donor hearts.
National OCS Program (NOP)
TransMedics also operates a National OCS™ Program (NOP) aimed at addressing the limitations of ischemic time and distance that are typically associated with traditional cold storage organ preservation. This program enhances the feasibility and success rates of organ transplants by allowing organs to be transported and maintained in an optimal state, thus broadening the pool of viable organs for transplantation.
Clinical Evidence
TransMedics holds a significant body of literature and clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of their OCS™ technology and the concept of warm perfusion in organ transplantation. Multiple studies and clinical trials have validated the benefits of the OCS™ platform, making it a standard in top-tier transplant centers worldwide. The clinical evidence proves the ability of the OCS™ to improve organ quality and patient outcomes.
Training and Support
To support their advanced technology, TransMedics offers the most extensive training program for transplant professionals. This program includes comprehensive instruction on the use of the OCS™ technology and ongoing 24/7 clinical support. These resources help ensure that transplant programs can maximize the benefits of the OCS™, leading to better overall clinical outcomes.
