20077/021 US XTRA Operator’s Manual
Setup for Intraoperative Red Cell Recovery and Reinfusion
Power Requirements
All XTRA disposables can be at least partially installed before the instrument is turned ON. However,
power is required for the following:
• Loading the pump loop into the pump rotor. The X
TRA must be turned ON so you can touch the
“Load Pump” button from the Setup screen.
• Switch on and set the vacuum level (if you are using the X
VAC system linked to the XTRA).
In any case, it is prudent to turn ON the machine before or while you install the disposables to ensure
that it will be working properly when it is time to begin processing blood.
Supplies Required
• Blood Collection Reservoir
•X
TRA Bowl Set
• Anticoagulant Solution
• Suction Line (plus a suction cannula and a vacuum source)
• Wash Solution - sterile 0.9% normal saline (injectable or approved for cell processing)
• Waste Bag (will not need to be replaced if not used)
• Microaggregate Filter (optional; highly recommended)
• Secondary RBC Bag (optional; order additional RBC bag)
The following pages describe the step-by-step procedures for installing the disposables. These
configurations ensure that the X
TRA remains stable under normal operating conditions.
