QRsens AG

Spin-off QRsens aims to roll out a device that will significantly increase the success rate of organ transplants. This device will analyze the metabolic state of the organ during machine perfusion, in which the organ is connected to an artificial circuit and prepared for transplantation. The measured metabolic state correlates with the organ function after implantation.

This will enable medical professionals to make significantly more reliable transplantation decisions. The innovative procedure is based on many years of research and the recently developed perfusion machine by Pierre-Alain Clavien, UZH professor of surgery and transplantation, director of the UniversityHospital Zurichs Department of Surgery and Transplantation and co-head of the Liver4Life project.
