Investigation: the run data file (rdf) was analyzed for this event.Per the rdf, the spectra optia system operated as intended and based on the information provided by the customer, it was reported that the saline roller clamp on the inlet line was left partially open which would explain why there was no interface in the channel and no cells in the collect port for the first 30 minutes of the procedure.Investigation is in progress.A follow-up report will be provided.

This report is being filed to provide additional information.Investigation: the device history record (dhr) was reviewed for this lot.There were no issues noted in the dhr that would have contributed to the roller clamp being left open by the operator as experienced with this event.Root cause: the spectra optia system operated as intended per the run data file (rdf), and based on the information provided by the customer, it was reported that the saline roller clamp on the inlet line was left partially open.Based on customer statement and the rdf analysis, the root cause is determined to be that the operator left the saline roller clamp open.Correction: training was offered to the customer by terumo bct, but the customer declined because they had addressed the issue internally.
