An organ perfusion apparatus and method monitor, sustain and/or restore
viability of organs and preserve organs for storage and/or transport.
Other apparatus include an organ transporter, an organ cassette and an
organ diagnostic device. The method includes perfusing the organ at
hypothermic and/or normothermic temperatures. The methods further include

a second perfusate containing a substance for reacting with the organ.
Condition of the organ may be automatically monitored, and the perfusion
process can be automatically controlled using a control program.
