1. An air conditioning system for a building, the system comprising:
an air conditioning unit located about an exterior of the building;
a continuous refrigerant line defining a first end and a second end, the first end of the continuous refrigerant line disposed about the air conditioning unit located about the exterior of the building, the continuous refrigerant line disposed through a hole in a wall of the building, the hole being formed above grade, the second end of the continuous refrigerant line disposed within the building;
a flashing panel mount for routing the continuous refrigerant line from the air conditioning unit through the hole in the wall of the building to within the building for preventing entrance of undesirable material into the building through the hole of the building, the mount comprising:
a flashing panel attachable to the exterior of the building;
a hood member extending outward from the panel, the hood member having a lower hood surface;
a panel aperture formed though the lower hood surface of the hood member and defined by an aperture edge of the lower hood surface of the hood member; and
an elastic sealing member attached to the aperture edge of the lower hood surface of the hood member, the elastic sealing member having a generally o-ring configuration for accommodating the continuous refrigerant line and for generally forming a seal to prevent entrance of undesirable material into the building through the hole of the wall of the building.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the sealing member is a grommet.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the grommet has a groove which captures the aperture edge.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the flashing panel is attached to the exterior of the building.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of perfusing an organ, comprising:
associating the organ with an organ perfusion apparatus;
perfusing the organ with a first medical fluid through at least one blood vessel of the organ;
removing substantially all of the first medical fluid from the organ perfusion apparatus; and
perfusing the organ with a second medical fluid containing an enzyme after removal of substantially all of the first medical fluid, without removal of the organ from the organ perfusion apparatus.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising connecting at least one tube of the organ perfusion apparatus to the organ to allow fluid communication between the organ and the at least one tube of the organ perfusion apparatus.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein removing substantially all of the first medical fluid is through the at least one tube of the organ perfusion apparatus.
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising providing the second medical fluid through at least one tube from a source of the second medical fluid located apart from the organ perfusion apparatus.
5. The method of claim 1, comprising perfusing the organ with the second medical fluid through at least one non-blood vessel duct of the organ.
6. The method of claim 2, further comprising providing the second medical fluid through at least one tube from a source located within the organ perfusion apparatus.
7. The method of claim 2, further comprising controlling flow of at least one of the first medical fluid and the second medical fluid via at least one flow control valve associated with the at least one tube.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising controlling the at least one valve via a signal from a control panel.
9. The method of claim 7, further comprising manually controlling the at least one flow control valve.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the organ comprises a pancreas or a liver.
11. The method of claim 10, further comprising determining an amount of reaction between the second medical fluid and the pancreas.
12. The method of claim 11, further comprising slicing the pancreas.
13. The method of claim 10, further comprising isolating islets produced by the pancreas.
