This association was founded in 1977 as the\u00a0International Society for Artificial Organs (ISAO).\u00a0 In 2003 it was decided to transition beginning\u00a0January 1st, 2004 from a Society based on individual members into the International Federation for Artificial Organs (IFAO).<\/p>\n

The IFAO is based on Societies as members, with 3 founding member\u00a0societies<\/a>, the American Society for Artificial Organs (ASAIO), the European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) and the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs (JSAO).d<\/p>\n

In 2008 the IFAO moved its website from the prior society-based isao-society.org to a new website (http:\/\/www.ifao-society.org) that reflected the organization’s move to a federation.\u00a0 And then in July of 2010, the Federation acquired the IFAO.org domain name, and established its new website here, with ambitious new goals from the latest international meeting.<\/p>\n
