The Spectra Optia® Apheresis System, a blood component separator, is intended for use in therapeutic plasma exchange.
Device Story
Spectra Optia Apheresis System is a centrifugal blood component separator used for therapeutic plasma exchange. The system consists of a machine and a disposable Exchange Set. It processes whole blood to separate cellular components from plasma, facilitating the removal and replacement of patient plasma with donor plasma. The device is operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Embedded software monitors the procedure; recent updates enhance the system's ability to detect potential platelet loss during repeated RBC spillover events, providing earlier user notifications to prevent excessive platelet removal. The system provides real-time alerts to the clinician, who then takes remedial action to ensure patient safety and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data were necessary. The modifications did not impact the performance specifications of the system's therapeutic apheresis protocols. Evidence consists of non-clinical bench testing, including reliability, usability, robustness, and regression testing.
Technological Characteristics
Centrifugal blood component separator. System includes a machine and a disposable Exchange Set. Software-controlled separation process. Connectivity/interoperability details not specified. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring therapeutic plasma exchange to remove and replace plasma for the treatment of adverse hematologic and other conditions.

#### Device Description:
The Spectra Optia® Apheresis System is a centrifugal system that separates whole blood into its cellular and plasma components. The system is used therapeutically to remove and replace the removed plasma with healthy donor plasma (i.e. plasma exchange) from patients who suffer from adverse hematologic and other conditions.
The system includes a disposable Exchange Set through which the patient's blood passes, and a machine that controls the separation of blood and the removal and replacement of plasma. The Spectra Optia system's embedded software has been enhanced to reduce the likelihood of excessive platelet loss/removal during Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) procedures when there are repeated RBC spillover alerts and no remedial action is taken.
#### Intended Use:
The Spectra Optia " Apheresis System, a blood component separator, is intended for use in therapeutic plasma exchange.
#### Technological Comparison:
The base technology of the Spectra Optia system is not affected by this software change to minimize the potential for spillover conditions and to provide earlier detection and notification to the user of a potential platelet loss if appropriate action is not taken. There is no change to the disposable Exchange Set.
#### Discussion of Non-clinical Data:
The correct functioning of the software modifications was verified through the following activities:

{1}------------------------------------------------
- Reliability: Reliability was assessed using tests to simulate expected usage . profiles.
- Usability was verified with simulated use runs on the affected . Usability: protocol.
- Boundary condition testing was conducted to explore the Robustness: . software for expected behavior. Boundary conditions address critical values, maximum and minimum values, as well as values just inside/outside established boundaries.
- Regression: Specific regression testing was conducted related to the software . updates for the platelet loss mitigation.
### Discussion of Clinical Data:
Clinical validation data were not necessary, as the modifications did not impact the performance specifications of the system's therapeutic apheresis protocols.
