COBE® Spectra Apheresis System

Partner with the industry standard for therapeutic apheresis and cell therapy technology

If your facility provides therapeutic apheresis and cell therapy procedures, you need to be able to deliver a wide array of treatment options. It helps to have one piece of equipment that's flexible and versatile enough to manage many functions in your therapeutic environment. The COBE Spectra Apheresis System is that tool. As the most widely used therapeutic apheresis system in the world, the COBE Spectra Apheresis System gives your facility the flexibility to deliver cell therapy and therapeutic apheresis — all on one platform.

The COBE Spectra Apheresis System sets the standard of care for many procedures:

• TPE: Therapeutic plasma exchange
• RBCX: Red blood cell exchange and depletions
• Depletions: Platelet and white blood cell depletions
• Lymphoplasma exchange
• Pediatric applications
• Secondary processing with column technology
• Stem cell, mononuclear cell (MNC) and granulocyte collections*

*Polymorphonuclear cells (such as granulocytes) and mononuclear cells (such as stem cells) for transfusion are not biological products licensed by the US food and Drug Administration. CaridianBCT makes no claims for the efficacy of these products. Collections of these products should be done in accordance with Investigational Device Exemptions.

Flexible collections, flexible therapy

The COBE Spectra Apheresis System's versatility comes from its unique centrifugal technology that lets you perform a variety of therapeutic apheresis and cell collection procedures. It separates whole blood into its major components to allow for the removal of plasma, white blood cells, platelets or red blood cells. Features such as automatic anticoagulant (AC) management, continuous display of procedure parameters and low platelet loss enhance procedure safety for your donors and patients.

Customizable to meet your needs and your patient's needs

Each patient you treat is different. The COBE Spectra Apheresis System is versatile, giving you procedural control to manage the specific needs of each patient. Plus, it handles all patients, from small children to adults, letting you provide therapeutic apheresis and cell collection procedures to any patient.

Customized procedures work together with automated functions to save time and resources. The process control in the system monitors pump rates, fluid balances, volumes, and AC management for enhanced safety. Sophisticated algorithms let you customize specific procedural elements based on individual patient's total blood volume, hematocrit, and platelet precount — all with minimal operator intervention. You focus on your patients — instead of the technology.

Specialized customer support

You want to spend your time caring for your patients. That's why CaridianBCT supports the COBE Spectra Apheresis System with unparalleled customer and technical support delivered by experienced clinicians. Support includes comprehensive training materials, regional and on-site training programs, therapeutic web site access and 24x7 support center assistance (US customers only).
