Spectra™ Apheresis System • Essentials Guide 1-13
Caution: Before each use of the Spectra system, inspect all
tubing especially in the centrifuge and on the front panel to ensure
it is not kinked. Tubing that is occluded, or partially occluded, can
lead to malfunction or fluid imbalance. Tubing performs without
difficulty as long as the interior diameter of the tubing is larger
than the interior diameter of the needle.
Caution: Disposable tubing sets may occasionally fail, which
could result in the loss of blood, loss of blood product, or
introduction of air into the disposable tubing set. It is important
that the operator carefully watch for leaks during Prime and use of
disposable tubing sets.
Caution: If any of the following conditions exist or occur, DO NOT
use the Spectra system and immediately contact responsible
service personnel for assistance:
•
Power cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged or worn.
•
Switches are loose or not operating properly.
•
Spectra system has sustained physical shock or liquid spills
on the electronics housed under the covers.
•
Individual has received an electric shock while operating the
Spectra system.
•
Spectra system or blood/fluid warmer overheats.
Caution: To avoid damage to the Spectra system, DO NOT
operate the centrifuge without a filler and channel installed.
Caution: Keep hair away from the pumps to avoid potential
entanglement and damage to the equipment.
Caution: The health care institution is responsible for adequately
preparing and identifying product for return shipment. Local
regulations may restrict or prevent shipment of products
contaminated with biohazardous material.
Caution: DO NOT use the Spectra system under the combination
of the following extreme operating conditions:
•
Room temperature is greater than 27.5° C (81° F).
•
Centrifuge speed is 2400 rpm.
•
Inlet pump flow rate is 25 mL/minute or less.
Under these conditions, transient warming to temperatures above
42° C (107° F) can occur in specific areas of the multi-lumen
tubing and channel. Exposure to these temperatures can damage
blood components contained in these areas.
The decision to operate at or beyond these conditions is the
responsibility of the physician.
Caution: The Spectra system has many safety features. A donor
and/or patient reaction can occur rapidly, however. It is imperative
that the operator continuously monitor the Spectra system and the
donor and/or patient.
Caution: Leave the yellow cap on the unused luer (on the 4-liter
waste bag) to prevent fluid leakage. Ensure the cap fits tightly.
Caution: To adjust the interface during an LPE procedure,
change the COLLECT pump flow rate. To preserve the fluid
balance, also change the plasma pump flow rate.
