Investment summary

Lifeline Scientific has received regulatory approval to sell its LifePort kidney transporter device in Brazil. Initial orders are being processed. The company expects to make investments this year to expand geographically and develop its liver transporter, and says, on the back of this, operating and product development costs could be well above the levels seen in 2011. It sold 49 LifePort devices last year versus 47 sold in 2010, bringing the total worldwide installed base to 441. Sales could increase next year on the back of new business in the EU, Brazil and maybe China. Our forecasts are under review.

Industry outlook

The 2009 machine perfusion study showed improved clinical outcomes from the use of the LifePort kidney transporter, and other papers have shown overall cost savings. Lifeline has a high share of the organ static preservation market with its SPS-1 solution.
