Spectra Optia Exchange Protocols

Supporting multiple patient needs with exchange therapies

The Spectra Optia™ Apheresis System from Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies offers a range of exchange therapy protocols.* Browse the information below for details. If you have questions, please reach out to our apheresis device and procedure experts.  

Exchange

Procedure information

  • 87% (± 3%) mean plasma removal efficiency1
  • 1.15 total blood volumes (TBVs) to remove one plasma volume2
  • 14.4 mL anticoagulant (AC) per L of whole blood processed3
  • Optimized fluid balance enabled by pump precision
  • 1.0% median patient platelet loss1
  • Typical extracorporeal volume (ECV) is 141 mL; maximum ECV is 185 mL**
  • Intuitive procedure management

2. Calculation: 1/0.87 = 1.15

3. Calculations: 
Anticoagulant volume = 1,000 mL/9 (inlet:AC ratio of 10 = 9 parts blood to 1 part AC) = 111 mL 
Spectra Optia system: 100% − 87% = 13% of 111 mL = 14.4 mL AC/L processed 
Assumptions: AC ratio of 10

Note: An AC infusion rate of 0.8 to 1.2 mL/min/L TBV was used during the clinical studies; however, it was not used directly in this calculation.

**Under normal operating conditions, the ECV will not exceed the typical ECV value. Under certain infrequent alarm conditions, such as during reservoir recovery after a reservoir alarm, the ECV may momentarily increase to the maximum ECV value.

Procedure information

  • Provides adjustable plasma flow rates to accommodate a range of SPDs²
  • Monitors and displays pressure readings for the SPD with a pressure sensor
  • Provides an optimized product for secondary processing with a mean plasma removal efficiency of 87% ± 3%³
  • Offers the option to pause the system for added flexibility, enabling more focus on the patient
  • Features dynamic technology that delivers consistent, predictable results when performing TPE with an SPD
  • Typical extracorporeal volume (ECV) is 141 mL; maximum ECV is 185 mL**

Disclaimers and notes

1. Secondary plasma devices may be used with flow rates from 10 mL/min to 100 mL/min on the Spectra Optia system.

2. Check secondary plasma device specifications for requirements.

**Under normal operating conditions, the ECV will not exceed the typical ECV value. Under certain infrequent alarm conditions, such as during reservoir recovery after a reservoir alarm, the ECV may momentarily increase to the maximum ECV value.

Procedure information

  • Requires no additional hardware; only a Y-connector is needed
  • Features the flexibility to utilize single-needle access from the onset of the procedure or at any time during the procedure
  • Makes the transition to single-needle access simple with minimal setup time and no loss in system mobility
  • Guides you with intuitive touch screens specific to the single-needle option 
  • Typical extracorporeal volume (ECV) is 141 mL; maximum ECV is 185 mL**

Disclaimers and notes

**Under normal operating conditions, the ECV will not exceed the typical ECV value. Under certain infrequent alarm conditions, such as during reservoir recovery after a reservoir alarm, the ECV may momentarily increase to the maximum ECV value.

 

Procedure information

  • Performs exchange, depletion, or depletion/exchange procedures
  • Accommodates small patients with a 185 mL tubing set
  • Streamlines procedures, enabling operators to spend more time with patients
  • Displays a clearly defined custom prime sequence that differentiates blood priming from the actual procedure 
  • Provides intuitive procedure management
  • Typical extracorporeal volume (ECV) is 141 mL; maximum ECV is 185 mL**

Contraindications

  • There are no known contraindications for the system's use, except for those associated with all automated apheresis systems.
  • The infusion of certain solutions and replacement fluids may be contraindicated in some patients.

Possible patient reactions

  • Anxiety, headache, light-headedness, digital and/or facial paresthesia, fever, chills, hematoma, hyperventilation, nausea and vomiting, syncope (fainting), urticaria, hypotension, and allergic reactions.

Reactions to transfused blood products can include1

  • Fever, circulatory overload, shock, allergic reactions, alloimmunization, graft-versus-host disease, and transmission of infection.

Restricted to prescription use only

  • Operators must be familiar with the system's operating instructions.
  • Procedures must be performed by qualified medical personnel.
  • A supervisory practitioner may supervise from a physician office or other nonhospital space that is not officially part of the hospital campus as long as he or she remains immediately available.2
