Spectra Optia Apheresis System: Train the Trainer
Our Train the Trainer program is a three- to four-day class (depending on class size) to develop trainers on your team who can train other operators. Attendees should be already trained as Spectra Optia system operators. The class begins with a review of the fundamental principles of the requested protocol(s). Each participant then practices by performing a return training to classmates and the program moderator. A student must be present for the entire class to receive a certificate of completion.
