BiologicTx's Paired Donation Software, BiologicTx MatchGrid, Enables Nine-Way, 36-Hour Paired Kidney Donation

TOTOWA, N.J., June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BiologicTx^® today announced that their Paired Donation matching software, BiologicTx MatchGrid, was the driving force behind pairing up the eighteen donors and recipients in the nine-way kidney exchange that took place on June 4^th and June 5^th at Sutter Health's California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) and UCSF Medical Center.  This is believed to be the first time a transplant event of this size was completed in the same city over a period of 36 hours.

BiologicTx Paired Donation's MatchGrid is an advanced enterprise software application that provides physicians and clinicians with the tools necessary to rapidly and accurately match living organ donors with patients who have willing, healthy, but incompatible donors.  Using advanced matching and optimization algorithms, for a single center, MatchGrid can evaluate all potential matches from 2-way all the way through 12-way combinations in minutes or even longer regional chains, saving transplant centers months of work previously required to assess a smaller number of pairs.  The software can also optimize the number of transplants for a given pool of donor/recipient pairs, ensuring the maximum number of transplants for the most difficult people to match, with the highest quality matches for each transplant hub in a paired kidney donation network.
