TRA Operator’s Manual 20077/021 US 2-5
The basic XTRA has two preset protocols (plus the Emergency protocol) to use for processing (available
for all four bowl sizes):
• Popt, available for 55, 125, 175, 225 ml bowl
• Pstd, available for 55, 125, 175, 225 ml bowl
• Emergency, available for 55, 125, 175, 225 ml bowl
Options Available with XTRA
Programmability Option
With the programmability option, the operator can enable the user protocols and non-automated
operating modes. User protocols allow creating and permanently storing up to 24 additional protocols.
Emergency Option
The Emergency option enables the Emergency button on all processing screens, from which the
Emergency function may be activated. Two additional options are then available: Rapid Transfer and
No Wash.
Vacuum System (XVAC)
The XVAC System is a modular source of vacuum for intra- and postoperative aspiration. It is a
substitute for hospital vacuum, when none is available or when the available source is difficult to use
or regulate. The X
VAC allows vacuum levels (in absolute value) ranging from 50 to 300 mmHg (6.7 - 40
kPa) for intraoperative aspiration and 10 to 100 mmHg (1.3 - 13.3 kPa) for postoperative.
Preoperative Sequestration Option (PPP and PRP)
The preoperative sequestration option enables recovery of plasma and platelets from blood by drawing
blood from the patient into bags. Whole blood components (PPP and PRP) are thus spared the trauma
encountered in some surgical procedures and provide a source of autologous platelets and clotting
factors to be returned to the patient.
Data Management Options (USB, Printer, RS232)
The XTRA data management options allows for downloading processing information for blood recovery
and preoperative sequestration procedures through a USB Port or an integral RS232 Port to an
external IBM PC compatible computer, or through the X
TRA integrated printer. The downloaded
information includes the time and date, as well as the serial number of the X
TRA machine. Use only
X
TRA USB memory sticks.
Quality Control Options
The XTRA quality control option allows the operator to selectively enable the hematocrit indicator and
the waste line color and supernatant removal algorithm.
Hematocrit indicator option
The XTRA hematocrit indicator option enables the operator to measure the hematocrit of the fluid as it
is being pumped into the bowl and of the reinfusion product as it is being pumped into the RBC bag.
The measured hematocrit will be displayed on the processing screens and appropriate tally screens for
