摘要：
A method of perfusing an organ (20) includes connecting at least two tubes to the organ, applying a fluid motive force to a perfusion fluid in the two tubes to force the fluid through the two tubes into the organ, and perfusing the organ through the at least two tubes such that the fluid motive force, provided by e.g. a pump (80), and backpressure generated by the organ, establishes a flow balance between the at least two tubes. The flow balance may be altered without altering the fluid motive force that is applied, e.g. by flow control clamps (127, 137), such as pinch valves. A detector may be provided to detect the presence of an optional component, wherein the perfusion apparatus (10) is controlled based on a first mode of operation when the component is detected, and in a second mode when the component is not detected.
