Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile cart for an organ container. The mobile cart includes a top assembly configured to be releasably secured to the organ container, which is at least one of an organ transporter and an organ perfusion apparatus configured to perfuse an organ. It also includes a support structure attached to the top assembly so as to support the top assembly, the support structure being moveable from an extended position to a collapsed position. The top assembly in turn includes distinct primary and secondary locking mechanisms, each of which is configured to secure the support structure in the extended position. And when the support structure is secured in the extended position, both the primary and secondary locking mechanisms must be actuated for the support structure to be moveable to the collapsed position.
