37 You must completely close the inlet saline line when the system instructs you to do so. If the line is left open, the additional saline will dilute the blood in the channel, which could result in an ineffective procedure. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual...
Percentage Platelets Removed (Approximate) 46 Terumo BCT does not recommend performing rinseback during RBCX procedures. The data that the system uses to predict the run targets does not include rinseback volume. If rinseback is performed, the run targets may not be accurate.
50 If a TPE-SPD procedure is being performed on a patient who has a TBV of 1 liter or less, Terumo BCT recommends that the treated plasma bag and the AC container be weighed throughout the TPE-SPD procedure to assess and manage the fluid balance.
Seal Safe system warnings 62 Use only the sealer head and radio frequency (RF) cable provided by Terumo BCT with the Seal Safe system. The Seal Safe system does not function correctly with components from other tubing sealers.

HES for anticoagulation. Failure to use the correct solution can result in inadequate anticoagulation of the extracorporeal circuit, ineffective sedimentation and collection of cells, and adverse patient reactions. 46 If hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is not used during a PMN collection procedure, the collection efficiency will be lower. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual...
Exchange Set cautions 57 Do not remove the cap on the unused luer on the second remove line on the remove bag to prevent fluid leakage. Ensure the cap fits tightly. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual...
62 Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is not approved or available for use in some countries for apheresis procedures. Check your country regulations before you consider using HES for a procedure on the Spectra Optia system. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual...
Care should be taken to prevent the Seal Safe system from touching the patient or any cables of the devices that may be connected to the patient. 64 Use the Seal Safe system only on tubing distributed by Terumo BCT. The Seal Safe system may not perform as expected on other tubing.

ACD-A can cause citrate toxicity in certain patients. Mild forms of this condition are generally recognized by peripheral paresthesia, tingling sensations in the extremities, and/or restlessness. Severe forms of this condition can result in significant cardiac dysfunction. Terumo BCT recommends that you frequently assess the condition of the patient throughout the apheresis procedure.
Follow your local regulations for disposing of material that may be contaminated with biohazardous products. Return of Used Product If for any reason this product must be returned to Terumo BCT, Inc., a returned goods authorization (an RGA number) is required from Terumo BCT prior to shipping.
