Abstract :
In this paper, the design of a medical device for graft viability monitoring during organ preservation and transplantation is presented. The device is based on a specific microsystem measuring some relevant organ parameters. A PDA controlled cool-box system for organ transport based on this device has been prototyped. Various alternatives regarding device prototyping have been analyzed. The microsystem has been validated through various sets of experiments. The correlation between obtained measures and organ viability is also presented
