Disabling the aim system potential issues
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 1, 2025
Disabling the AIM system on the CaridianBCT Spectra Optia may lead to the following potential issues:
1. Loss of automatic image-based monitoring, requiring operation in Semi-Automatic mode. 2. Increased reliance on manual procedures, which could increase the chance of user error. 3. Inability to perform certain automated calibration or monitoring tasks. 4. Possible impact on procedure accuracy and efficiency.
It is recommended to contact a service representative before starting a new procedure after disabling the AIM system.

The Spectra Optia software is divided into three layers: Base, Set, and Protocol. The Base layer loads first and includes states and substates common to both set types and all protocols. The Set layer includes states and substates specific to a particular tubing set and the procedures that run on that tubing set.

Software Description Figure 3-2: Typical sequence overview Spectra Optia Apheresis System Service Manual...
Base Layer Software States The Base layer contains the software states common to all sets and protocols. These are the software states that control the basic functionality of the Spectra Optia system. Power Control State The Power Control state controls the power supplies and switched voltages. It also monitors all DC power supplies.
Page 147

The startup tests are executed before a disposable tubing set is loaded and before the patient is connected. These tests ensure that the Spectra Optia system is operational, that critical safety features are in place, and that computer redundancy is functioning. During power fail recovery situations only some of tests are performed to insure safety of the already connected patient.

Questions and answers
Disabling the aim system potential issues
Disabling the AIM system on the CaridianBCT Spectra Optia may lead to the following potential issues:
1. Loss of automatic image-based monitoring, requiring operation in Semi-Automatic mode.
2. Increased reliance on manual procedures, which could increase the chance of user error.
3. Inability to perform certain automated calibration or monitoring tasks.
4. Possible impact on procedure accuracy and efficiency.
It is recommended to contact a service representative before starting a new procedure after disabling the AIM system.
