...sends the fluid through the kidneys at a natural pulse rate and under normal blood pressures. Once through, the fluid drops from the veins and ureter into a catch basin for recirculation.

Dr. Belzer has done four transplants with machine-preserved kidneys, one of which was on the circuit for 17 hours...
