Operator’s Manual
Installing the disposables, including the centrifuge bowl, is rapid, straightforward, and tool-free. The
pump loop cartridge and the tubing organizer of the X
TRA
Bowl Set make loading the pump, process
air detector, and tubing lines easy.
An ultrasonic air detector senses the presence of air or fluid in the tubing harness and discontinues
processing should air be present. The processing pump provides high blood flow rates with minimal
hemolysis, thus enabling the X
TRA
to keep up with cases involving high blood loss. The X
TRA
is easily
maneuvered by one person, even in tight spaces, and ergonomically designed to be operated by a
standing or sitting operator.
The X
TRA
incorporates a number of safety features. While the pump and/or centrifuge are in operation,
the centrifuge lid remains locked to prevent harm to the operator. All alarm conditions are indicated
with both audible and visual signals, and, with most alarm conditions, the centrifuge and/or pump
automatically shut down until the condition is cleared.
All disposables used with the X
TRA
are available through LivaNova. The X
TRA
Bowl Set includes a
color-coded tubing harness with pump loop cartridge, the Latham Centrifuge Bowl (55 ml, 125 ml,
175 ml, or 225 ml), a 10-liter waste bag, and a 1-liter primary RBC bag. Except for the waste bags,
X
TRA
Bowl Set components are preconnected for ease of installation and to maintain the sterility of the
system.
The Aspiration line, designed to mix the anticoagulant and the blood near the collection site, will
connect to most suction cannulae.
The Blood Collection Reservoirs are available in 40-micron and 120-micron (only BOTTOM version)
filtered models. To facilitate ordering, storage, and setup, the company offers sets including several
components for blood collection and processing in one package:
• Procedure Sets that combine the key disposables (X
TRA
Bowl Set, Aspiration and Vacuum Lines,
and Blood Collection Reservoir).
• Collection Sets that combine the key disposables (Blood Collection Reservoir, Aspiration and
Vacuum Line) for Blood Collection from the operative field.
• The Collection Set is also available in the Cardio configuration which includes the Cardio Kit for the
connection of the Blood Collection Reservoir with an oxygenator or circuit for ECC for recovery of
priming fluid residue from ECC circuit or concentration of priming fluid.
The company also offers a complete line of accessories to accommodate customized setups and
options.
LivaNova also provides the X
TRA
PRP Processing Sets, based on the bag method of whole blood supply
for processing (whole blood collected in bags) for use with the preoperative sequestration option. Each
case also requires the use of anticoagulant and sterile wash solution (usually normal saline).
