Trima Accel 7 Highlights

Experience enhancements*
  • Quick reset: Trima Accel 7 resets and is ready to start the next collection in less than 30 seconds—helping you to be more efficient during peak collection times.
  • T-Cuff and AutoFlow: Using T-Cuff and AutoFlow together, you can reduce access alerts by as much as 50 percent.1
    • T-Cuff helps improve access by offering two pressure settings—one for venipuncture and one for collection.
    • AutoFlow allows Trima Accel 7 to optimize the flow rate for each donor, automatically adjusting up or down based on venipuncture and the donor’s physiology. Using AutoFlow reduces procedural disruptions and the need for operator intervention. In collections where AutoFlow increases the flow rate, procedure times are likely to decrease, which may allow additional products to be collected.
  • QuietPump technology: Our proprietary QuietPump technology eliminates the clicking sound heard during donations, providing donors and operators with a quieter, more peaceful environment.
  • AC line load verification: Trima Accel 7 now works with you to help reduce anticoagulant (AC) prime failures. If AC is not detected in the line after priming, Trima Accel 7 alerts you and the Continue button remains inactive until the system detects AC in the line.
  • Modified donor entry screens: Trima Accel 7 includes additional information on screens to provide clarity, including prompts to confirm data accuracy.
Quality enhancements*
  • Improved platelet collection performance for low-flow draws: At low flow rates, Trima Accel 7 lowers the centrifuge speed proportionally to maintain a constant separation factor and achieve more consistent yields.
  • Modified yield prediction: The prediction takes into consideration 1) the increase in efficiency of the collection due to LRS chamber management and 2) the increase in efficiency of the single-piece collection chamber. This increases productivity and results in better yield consistency.
  • Improved white blood cell (WBC) flagging accuracy: Trima Accel 7 offers more accurate flagging of products for potential WBC contamination. If a product needs additional testing, Trima Accel alerts you.
Productivity enhancements*
  • Platelet collection software algorithms: Algorithms better account for platelets that are mobilized by the spleen during collections and more accurately predict the donor's post-collection platelet count. These enhancements may allow you to safely collect more platelets per donor as compared to previous versions of Trima Accel.
  • Modified plasma rinseback: Plasma rinseback on Trima Accel 7 has been modified to reduce the donor’s red blood cell loss.
  • LRS chamber management and channel setup: Advancements in establishing the product interface in the channel and clearing the LRS chamber have resulted in shorter procedure times and therefore more efficient collections.
*As compared to previous versions of Trima Accel.
The predicted post-collection platelet count displayed on the procedure summary screen may be higher than the actual post-collection platelet count for donors who have undergone a splenectomy.
Existing features worth repeating
  • Collection flexibility: Trima Accel is the only apheresis system on the market today that allows you to collect any transfusable component in any combination, based on each donor’s unique physiology, in your center or on the go. You can collect:
    • Platelets: single, double or triple
    • Platelets and plasma
    • Platelets and red blood cells
    • Platelets, plasma and red blood cells
    • Plasma only
    • Red blood cells: single or double
  • Unique separation technology for higher-quality, safer platelets: A recent retrospective analysis of transfusion outcomes credits Trima Accel with higher corrected count increments in collected platelets as compared to other technologies.2 Collecting platelets with Trima Accel has been credited with a lower risk of bacterial contamination and septic transfusion reactions.3,4 This is an important benefit, as bacterial contamination of platelet components is among the greatest transfusion-transmission risks for patients in the U.S.
  • Safety box: Trima Accel lets you set guidelines that meet your requirements and prioritize the procedures that will help you meet your goals. Then, the system suggests procedures based on both the products you need most and the parameters of the safety box, determined by each donor’s unique qualifications and physiology. The system monitors the procedure to stay within the safety box.
  • Mobility: Trima Accel is designed for use on mobile blood drives. And with its unmatched collection flexibility, you can collect smarter, in your center or on the go.  

Vista Highlights

Donor management
  • Collection eligibility calculation and tracking: Know what your donor is eligible for today. Annual red blood cell and plasma loss are automatically calculated and accurately tracked for each donor, so you know the optimal procedure. Donation interval, frequency and procedures without rinseback status are also tracked to prevent overdraws.
  • Electronic data capture and bidirectional communication: Before each collection, Vista can access and electronically transfer donor identification from your blood establishment computer system (BECS) to Trima Accel and present a list of eligible collections.
  • Recruitment support tool: With the data captured by Vista, your recruiting team can generate a list of eligibility dates for platelets, plasma and red blood cells, including when each donor is eligible for the optimal procedure. The list can be then used for recruitment purposes or to upload the eligibility dates to a donor scheduling system.
Data management
  • Bidirectional communication: Bidirectional data transfer to and from your BECS and Trima Accel help maximize collection efficiency, enhance traceability and simplify documentation.
  • Electronic data capture: Each interaction with your connected Trima Accel devices is automatically documented and transferred to Vista, creating a detailed record for every procedure.
  • Supplies and inventory management: Vista helps monitor disposable tubing sets and solutions, as well as tracking individual lot number usage by site and device for full traceability. Vista also confirms that the correct set is being used for the current collection.
Productivity management
  • Standardize and enforce SOPs: Vista’s workflow is designed to enforce U.S. standard operating procedure (SOP) regulations, which helps guide operators and supports safety, security and traceability.
  • Centralized device management: Configure settings and apply programs to connected Trima Accel devices directly from the Vista software interface, saving time and reducing the chance of error associated with manually configuring each device.
  • Procedure priority lists (PPLs): Specify an unlimited number of platelet, plasma and red blood cell product collection combinations sorted in priority order to define a PPL and create as many PPLs as needed. Share PPLs across collection sites or tailor them to match the needs of each site. Store, retrieve and assign multiple PPLs based on blood type, day of the week or donor as demands change.
  • Collection strategy adjustments: View completed collections to track your progress and adjust your collection strategy across all collection sites, including mobile sites, with a few clicks.
  • Activity monitoring: Vista can show at a glance how many donors are waiting to donate and the status of each in-progress collection—even across multiple sites.
