Spectra Optia simplifies the operator’s work and makes it easy to complete procedures.
Spectra Optia provides an efficient TPE procedure time while maintaining procedural safety limits, allowing operators to maximize the time with patients and improve the patient experience.
Flow rates up to 142 mL/min can be used while maintaining procedure efficiency.4 For smaller patients, a flow rate of 5 mL/min or less can be used. This adapts to the operator’s needs and the patient’s condition.
When tailoring a procedure for each patient, operators appreciate the flexibility of the multiple venous access options that can be used with the Spectra Optia system, including:
The reliability of Spectra Optia offers peace of mind for physicians and operators alike.
