Procedural warnings

6

19

It is advisable to obtain the patient’s detailed drug history before each apheresis procedure. For those drugs potentially affected by apheresis procedures, the physician should either adjust the doses or give the medications immediately after the procedure.

20

The operator must verify the correct input of information relevant to the safety of each apheresis procedure.

21

When preparing to perform a procedure, ensure that the lines are connected to the correct fluids, and that fluid is flowing into the drip chambers: •

AC line (orange) to the anticoagulant container

•

Saline line (green) to the normal saline (0.9%) container

22

Check that the tubing is correctly loaded in all pumps before starting a procedure. Visually inspect each pump to ensure that tubing does not protrude.

23

Before starting a procedure, inspect all lines, especially those in the centrifuge and on the front panel to ensure they are not obstructed. Tubing that is occluded or mechanically constrained can lead to malfunction or fluid imbalance. Inlet and return lines perform without difficulty as long as the interior diameter of the tubing is larger than the interior diameter of the patient’s inlet and return access.

24

Only blood or blood products should be processed in the centrifuge.

25

Do not connect the patient before the system instructs you to do so.

26

Rigorous attention should be paid to proper venipuncture site selection and decontamination.

27

If you are using a blood warmer on the return line, ensure that you completely prime the blood warmer tubing set to remove all the air in the set before you connect the patient.

28

When connecting a blood warmer tubing set to the return line, ensure that the tubing connection is tight. Do not put the tubing connection (luer) or the blood warmer tubing higher than or over the top of the blood warmer to prevent the possibility of air entering the tubing.

29

Before connecting the patient, check the inlet and return lines for air. If air is present in the lines, remove the air before connecting the patient.

30

Monitor the return line for air during the procedure. If you see air in the line, discontinue the procedure and contact your CaridianBCT representative for assistance.

31

Before connecting the patient, ensure that the AC line contains anticoagulant at the inlet manifold.

32

The inlet and return pressure sensors are not intended to detect infiltrations of the vein. Monitor the patient for infiltrations. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Essentials Guide

Preface

33

Tubing sets may occasionally fail, which could result in the loss of blood, blood products, or the introduction of air into the tubing set. It is very important that the operator watch for leaks in the cassette, all tubing and welds, and in the channel while the set is in use. Operators should take adequate precautions in handling blood and blood products in accordance with their facility’s standard operating procedures.

34

When handling extracorporeal blood circuits, take adequate precautions to prevent the possible exposure to and transmission of infectious diseases.

35

The following can cause fluid imbalance: •

Administration of replacement fluid that is not at room temperature during a procedure

•

Use of improperly vented fluid containers

•

Equipment malfunction

•

Improperly clamped or closed lines, or improperly loaded valves

•

Use of inadequately primed or clotted filters on the replace line of the Exchange Set

•

Tubing that is incorrectly loaded in the pumps

36

The alarm system is inactive during a manual rinseback. If you must perform a manual rinseback, watch for air in the return line. If you see air, immediately discontinue the rinseback.

37

Do not apply excess pressure to the vent bag when pushing fluid from the reservoir to the patient during a manual rinseback or you could damage the Red Blood Cells that you are returning to the patient.

38

Do not continue to squeeze the vent bag after the fluid in the reservoir reaches the level of the reservoir filter during a manual rinseback. If you continue to squeeze the bag, you could deliver air to the patient.

39

Do not touch Unload to unload the tubing from the pumps or remove the tubing set when a patient is connected to the Spectra Optia system, or the patient may receive surplus fluids through the inlet and return lines.

1

Solution and medicinal fluid warnings 40

When using biologically-derived replacement fluids, closely monitor the patient for reactions.

41

Use only 0.9% sodium chloride solution for procedures performed on the Spectra Optia system. Using a solution with a different composition could cause hemolysis.

Preface

Seal Safe system warnings 42

Use only the sealer head and radio frequency (RF) cable provided by CaridianBCT with the Seal Safe system. The Seal Safe system does not function correctly with components from other tubing sealers.

43

Do not seal the tubing within 8 cm (3 in) of the needle, or you may cause a burn at the needle entry point.

44

Do not place your fingers within 2.5 cm (1 in) of the Seal Safe system’s sealing jaw, or you may receive a radio frequency (RF) burn.

45

Do not release the lever of the sealer head until after the indication light goes out. Releasing the lever sooner could result in an inadequate seal.

46

Ensure that the sealer head and the tubing are free of moisture and debris before using the Seal Safe system.

47

Moisture on the surface of the tubing or the sealer head may cause an electrical arc to occur between the jaws when the power is applied, terminating the sealing process. If an arc occurs, carefully inspect the seal to ensure it is satisfactory.

48

Ensure that there is no tension on the tubing when operating the Seal Safe system. Stretching the hot tubing could cause a leak.

49

Do not submerge the Seal Safe system in liquid or you may receive an electric shock.

50

Disconnect the sealer head from the RF cable before cleaning to avoid receiving a serious radio frequency (RF) burn during the cleaning process.

51

The jaw on the sealer head contains an indentation where the spring rests. If you do not properly seat the spring in the indentation after cleaning, you may damage the spring, which could cause inadequate tubing seals.

52

Do not open the sealer head to service the device or you may receive an electric shock. Contact a qualified service representative to service the device.

Cautions for Use System cautions

Preface

12

In the event of a prolonged power interruption, the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) may allow the operator to discontinue the procedure and perform rinseback. However, a UPS does not ensure that the operator can complete the procedure as intended.

Service cautions 13

Clean the Spectra Optia system using a mild cleaning solution, or a mild detergent. Industry standard practice defines mild detergent as a solution or detergent that is safe on skin and on washable surfaces, such as hand dishwashing liquid. Use of a solution that is not compatible with the materials on the system may damage the material or operating characteristics of the system.

14

Disinfect the Spectra Optia system using a 0.25% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution. Use of a stronger bleach solution may damage or discolor the system.

15

To avoid scratching the Spectra Optia system touch screen or the glass covers on the lights inside the centrifuge, do not clean the screen or covers with an abrasive brush or scrub material.

16

Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products to clean the touch screen to avoid damaging the screen’s surface.

17

Do not spray or douse the Red Blood Cell (RBC) detector with liquid to clean it. Using an excessive amount of liquid can damage the detector. If you must spray the front panel, cover the RBC detector beforehand.

18

CaridianBCT has validated the methods described in this manual for cleaning and decontaminating the Spectra Optia system. Before using an alternative method, verify that it will not damage the system.

19

Do not lubricate pumps or pump rotors for any reason.

Procedural cautions

10

20

The Spectra Optia system has many safety features. However, a patient reaction can occur rapidly. Therefore, it is imperative that the operator monitor the patient and the system throughout the procedure.

21

The physiological condition of patients may affect the outcomes of procedures performed on the Spectra Optia system.

22

Patients with impaired or abnormal citrate metabolism (for example, if the patient has liver or renal disease) may present an increased risk of citrate sensitivity. Attending physicians should assess the appropriateness of such patients for apheresis procedures and prescribe how they should be monitored during procedures.

23

Use aseptic technique throughout all procedures to ensure patient safety and product quality. Spectra Optia Apheresis System Essentials Guide

Preface

24

CaridianBCT has validated the system's performance when the extracorporeal circuit is properly anticoagulated using ACD-A, and recommends using ACD-A to anticoagulate the circuit. The attending physician is responsible for prescribing the anticoagulant used, however, and all personnel involved in performing apheresis procedures should read the anticoagulant manufacturer's product insert before use.

25

The higher the inlet:AC ratio used during the procedure, the greater the risk is for aggregates and clumps to form in the tubing set.

26

For patient comfort and optimal system operation, ensure that the fluids used during the procedure are at room temperature before connecting them to the tubing set.

27

Do not connect the fluids to the tubing set before the system instructs you to do so.

28

To avoid a failed test of the tubing set, do not raise and lower the cassette after there is fluid in the set.

29

Follow local transfusion practices when performing a custom prime.

30

If you leave the roller clamp on the saline line completely open when the patient is connected, you will quickly infuse a large volume of saline to the patient.

31

All used disposable materials should be considered hazardous, and should be handled and disposed of at the end of the procedure in accordance with all applicable regulations.

1

General tubing set cautions 32

The tubing set is intended for single-use only to ensure sterile tubing conditions. Do not resterilize the set.

33

The blood and fluid pathways of the tubing set are sterilized with ethylene oxide and are nonpyrogenic. Do not use the set if any of the following conditions are true: •

Severe kinks in the tubing are apparent.

•

Tubing set appears to be incorrectly assembled.

•

Tubing set is damaged.

•

Any clamps are closed on the lines.

34

You may load the tubing set up to 24 hours before the procedure as long as you do not lower the cassette or prime the set. Once you lower the cassette or prime the set, you must use the set during the same work shift.

35

Do not stretch the tubing when folding the channel to install it in the centrifuge to avoid damaging the tubing set.

36

Use only your fingers to load the channel into the filler. To avoid puncturing the channel, never use a sharp object.

Spectra Optia Apheresis System Essentials Guide

11

Preface

37

Do not seal the inlet line of the four-lumen tubing. Sealing the line could cause the tubing set to fail when you raise the cassette to unload the set.

38

Ensure all luer connections are secure.

Exchange Set cautions 39

Do not use the Exchange Set if the end caps are not in place.

40

Leave the cap on the unused luer (on the remove bag) to prevent fluid leakage. Ensure the cap fits tightly.

Collection Set cautions 41

42

The Collection Set is no longer considered functionally closed if any of the following conditions are true: •

Inlet needle is not connected, or the end caps on the lines of the tubing set are missing when you open the package.

•

First attempt to insert the inlet needle fails (unless you attach a new needle using a connection device that maintains the sterility of the tubing set).

•

Inlet needle is disconnected during the procedure.

•

If using the diversion bag to collect a blood sample, the sample is taken before the line to the bag is sealed.

•

Tubing set is primed with starch, which obstructs the sterile barrier filters.

•

Any product bag or the diversion bag is disconnected before the line to the bag is sealed.

•

Product sample is removed from the sample bulb before you permanently seal the line.

•

Sterile barrier filters are damaged.

•

Integrity of the tubing set is compromised for any reason.

To correctly lock the needle protector over the inlet needle, you must hold it in place while you pull the tubing to remove the needle. It will not lock if you use the wings of the needle or the body of the needle protector to remove the needle. After use, visually confirm that the needle protector is locked over the needle and that the wings are secured behind the locked prongs.

Seal Safe system cautions 43

12

The Spectra Optia system and the Seal Safe system comply with all relevant international standards concerning electromagnetic emissions and compatibility. Before undergoing apheresis, patients with active implantable medical devices should review the implant Spectra Optia Apheresis System Essentials Guide
