About this trial
The investigators are doing this study to compare approaches to cold storage of donor hearts during transportation. The adjustable temperature RYOBI cooler should allow precise temperature control while reducing environmental waste and providing a cost savings benefit when compared to the commercially available, FDA-approved Paragonix SherpaPak device.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of primary graft dysfunction
compare the incidence of primary graft dysfunction between patients randomized to donor heart preservation using the adjustable temperature RYOBI cooler (Model # Pi1824QBT) (n = 40) versus the Paragonix SherpaPak (n = 40) in cases where the anticipated total ischemic time for the graft is between 120 and 240 minutes.
