Spectra Optia Apheresis System Operator’s Manual
Spectra Optia System Description
The Spectra Optia Apheresis System is a transportable, automatic blood component separator that uses
centrifugation and optical detection (Automated Interface Management system or AIM system) to perform
therapeutic apheresis and cell collection procedures.
The Spectra Optia system’s touch screen interface enables the operator to communicate with the system. The
operator follows the instructions on the screen to enter patient data and procedure data, load and prime the tubing
set, and perform and troubleshoot procedures. The system displays detailed information about the procedure, so
that the operator can adjust the run values to achieve a specific outcome or troubleshoot a condition. After the
procedure is complete, the system provides a report of procedure data for the patient record.
Table 2-1 lists the procedures that are available on the system and the procedure abbreviations that appear on the
bottom of the screens. The abbreviation appears after you select the procedure.
