The team had to overcome multiple barriers that limit the usefulness for any solid organ outside the body over a few hours like the breakdown of red blood cells, stable blood flow, and optimal glucose levels in the liver.
As part of the agreement from the Swiss regulatory authority the process would be used only if the organ was rejected by all transplant centers, the recipient had no other options for a donor liver. A 62-year-old man on the official national transplant list, had earlier agreed to be considered for receiving a liver graft preserved outside the body in the Wyss machine.
Because a biopsy showed no detectable liver injury from the time in the machine or organ rejection by the man, the researchers were able to choose chose a reduced regimen of immune-suppressing treatment which they tapered off 6 weeks after surgery.

How do I get my liver into this machine that repairs? I can kick drinking for 3 days, while the magic happens.
