Terumo BCT Spectra Optia (O) and Fenwal Amicus (A) can perform therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). We compared these systems in a prospective, randomized, crossover study of 81 paired procedures. Primary objective was to determine if there was a difference in platelet loss between the instruments. Secondary objectives were to determine differences in procedure time (PT), plasma removal efficiency (PRE 1), plasma removal rate (PRR), and fluid balance (FB).
