Spectra™ Apheresis System • Essentials Guide 5-7
Entering Donor/Patient Data After Prime Mode
At the end of Prime mode and before you connect the donor/patient, the
Spectra system prompts you to enter donor/patient data. The Spectra
system uses this data and default or configured parameters to customize
the following run parameters:
•
Pump flow rates
•
Centrifuge speed (2400rpm for platelet procedure and AutoPBSC)
•
Collect volume
•
Remove/replace volume
•
Run time
•
Procedure-specific parameters
You must enter donor/patient sex, height, weight, and hematocrit for
every procedure except BMP. The system may prompt you to enter
additional donor/patient data depending on the apheresis procedure you
are performing. Follow the instructions for the procedure to respond to
the screens. See Chapter 14, “Data Input Limits,” for the ranges allowed
during donor/patient data entry.
After you enter the data, the Spectra system calculates the run
parameters and displays them on the target run results screen. During
most procedures, you can modify the target run results to achieve the
outcome you need.
The following sections contain specific information about some of the
data entry screens. For more information, refer to the data entry
instructions in the procedural guides.
Height and Weight
You can enter donor/patient height in feet and inches, or in inches only.
If you enter inches only, enter 0 (zero) feet and the total height in inches.
Total Blood Volume (TBV)
The Spectra system calculates TBV based on the donor/patient sex,
height, and weight. You can use the calculated TBV or a different TBV,
if necessary.
For information on how the system calculates TBV and uses it for AC
management, see “System Operation and Anticoagulant Management”
on page 8-2.
During TPE procedures, the system uses TBV to calculate the
donor/patient plasma volume. During RBCX procedures, the system
uses TBV to calculate the donor/patient’s RBC volume.
Apheresis Procedure Dependant Messages
Apheresis procedures require entry of procedure specific data, such as
pre-platelet count for platelet procedures. See the procedural guides for
specific data entry requirements for each procedure. The system
calculates run results based on donor/patient data and values configured
for the procedure.
Target End/Run Results
After you enter donor/patient data, the systems displays target end
results or run results for the apheresis procedure. The information
displayed depends on the procedure you are performing.
Changing Entered Data During Run Mode
During Run mode, you can make the following changes:
•
Change the donor/patient data you entered.
•
View or change the target run results.
Note: See “Configuring the Height/Weight Units” on page 5-3 to
select either standard or metric units.
