South Florida Donor Network Deploys Advanced Liver Perfusion Technology

A 54% spike in liver utilization observed in Nevada serves as the blueprint for South Florida’s latest medical upgrade. The South Florida Donor Network has officially integrated the OrganOx metra system, an ex vivo perfusion technology designed to keep donor livers functioning in a near-physiologic state outside the human body.

This shift replaces traditional static cold storage with continuous normothermic oxygenation. By mimicking the human body, the system allows clinicians to assess organ viability in real time, effectively extending the window for successful transplantation. The initiative arrives via an operational partnership with the Nevada Donor Network, which began managing services in the region earlier this year.

Elizabeth Shipman, Chief Operating Officer for both organizations, noted that the technology is intended to maximize the utility of every donation. Beyond the technical mechanics, the rollout aims to address the critical gap between organ availability and patient demand. Scott Clere, senior director of organ operations, emphasized that while the hardware represents a leap in innovation, the success of the program remains anchored in the decisions of donors and their families. The organization continues to encourage public registration through DonateLifeFlorida.org to support these evolving clinical capabilities.
