Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual
Entering and Changing Data During the Run
The Spectra Optia system requires that you enter specific data, such as patient data, to perform a TPE procedure.
The system also allows you to change numerical values for certain operating parameters during the run. Table 7-2
shows data entry ranges for the operating parameters according to the screen on which each data entry button
appears. To change or enter data, touch the button for the parameter that you want to change. A data entry pad
appears to enable you to enter a number. The data entry pad displays either the established range for the parameter
or the calculated range, if the range changes based on related data. Also, the range for Caution status is displayed in
yellow, if the data you enter could cause the system to operate in Caution status.
