Summary

This trial will test a new system for preserving and assessing donor livers for transplant. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need a liver transplant and are on the waiting list. They must understand and agree to the study's process. People with sudden severe liver failure, those needing breathing support at the time of transplant, or anyone who has had an organ or bone marrow transplant before can't join.
What is being tested?
The OCS Liver System is being tested in this trial. It's designed to keep donor livers in good condition between donation and transplantation by preserving them outside the body in a specialized machine.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to device malfunction such as damage to the liver tissue due to inadequate preservation, but specific side effects will be monitored throughout the trial.
