Review of NICE Technology Appraisal Guidance No. 165; Machine perfusion systems and cold static storage of kidneys from deceased donors

The Institute was proposing that the guidance should be transferred to the static list.

During consultation, the majority of comments received by the Institute agreed with the proposal put forward.  After consideration of all of the comments (attached as appendix A), the Institute’s Guidance Executive has decided to proceed with the proposal.

TA165 will therefore be moved to the list of static technology appraisals.  Topics on the static can be considered for review in the future if any new evidence comes to light that is likely to have a material effect on the recommendations in the guidance.
