Overview
Before You Get Started
Introduction
The Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System (Angel System) is designed to separate autologous blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow. The primary blood components that the Angel System separates and collects are red blood cells (RBC), platelet poor plasma (PPP) and platelet rich plasma (PRP). The Angel System utilizes a Variable Volume Separation Chamber that is capable of processing between 40 mL to 180 mL of anticoagulated whole blood or mixture of blood and bone marrow in a single cycle. A maximum of 180 mL can be processed in up to three (3) cycles for each disposable Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System Processing Set (Angel Processing Set or Disposable Set). This manual is intended for users of the Angel System. The procedures recommended in this Operator’s Manual have been developed and tested to provide safe, reliable and efficient operation of the Angel System. It is important that the operator thoroughly understand the information in this Operator’s Manual before attempting to use the Angel System. Indications for Use
The Arthrex Angel System is indicated to be used intraoperatively at the point of care for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate (platelet rich plasma) from a small sample of peripheral blood or a small sample of a mixture of peripheral blood and bone marrow. The platelet poor plasma and platelet rich plasma are mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to a bony defect for improving handling characteristics. Disclaimer: Platelet Rich Plasma prepared from a mixture of whole blood and bone marrow may contain higher levels of plasma free hemoglobin than Platelet Rich Plasma prepared from whole blood. Contraindications for Use

Overview Chapter 1: Overview Product Description The Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System (Angel System) consists of a blood processing system and disposable products used for separation of whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow into red cells, platelet poor plasma, and platelet rich plasma. The disposable Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System Processing Set is designed for single-patient use. The Variable Volume Separation Chamber allows the clinician to process from 40 mL to 180 mL of autologous whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow in a single cycle. A maximum of 180 mL can be processed in up to three (3) cycles for each disposable Angel Processing Set. Description of the Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System How the Angel System Works The Angel System processes a determined volume of anticoagulated whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow from a patient and separates the blood/bone marrow into its primary components: red blood cells (RBC), platelet poor plasma (PPP), and platelet rich plasma (PRP). The basic steps are: Blood Collection: The whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow is drawn from a patient and mixed with a citrate anticoagulant. The collected whole blood/bone marrow is mixed in a 7:1 ratio (7 parts whole blood to 1 part citrate anticoagulant (ACD-A)). Please refer to the Instructions for Use for the Angel® Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) Processing Set for details regarding Blood Collection for further details. Processing: The Angel Processing Set utilizes a Variable Volume Separation Chamber (40 mL to 180 mL) which allows the clinician to determine the amount of preoperative blood/bone marrow volume to be processed. Each Angel Processing Set can be used for up to three processing cycles. Once the anticoagulated whole blood or mixture of blood and bone marrow has been dispensed into the Whole Blood Compartment of the reservoir bag, the clinician selects the desired volume of autologous whole blood/bone marrow to process and presses the “Start” Button on the Touch Screen Display. The Angel System will fill the Variable Volume Separation Chamber with the pre-determined volume of anticoagulated whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow, separate the whole blood/bone marrow through centrifugation, and collect the primary blood components (RBC, PPP, and PRP) in their respective collection compartments. Administration: Reinfusion of blood components is under the control and supervision of the physician in charge. Follow your institution’s blood administration protocol for appropriate handling and labeling of blood components.

Angel® cPRP System Operator’s Manual
Installing the Angel cPRP Processing Set Chapter 2: Installing the Angel cPRP Processing Set The Angel Processing Set or Disposable Set Description The Angel Processing Set consists of a pre-connected Variable Volume Separation Chamber, a tubing set with a Platelet Sensor / Valve Assembly, and a ThreeCompartment Reservoir Bag for the collection of blood products (whole blood, red blood cells, and platelet poor plasma). The Angel Processing Set also contains a 20 mL Luer Lock Syringe for the collection of platelet rich plasma (PRP), two 60 mL Specimen Cups for use in a sterile field, a whole blood bag spike adapter, MaleFemale Luer Plugs, and labels for collected blood components. Major Components (see Figure 2-1 below): Variable Volume Separation Chamber: The Angel Processing Set uses a Variable Volume Separation Chamber that can process from 40 mL to 180 mL of anticoagulated autologous whole blood or a mixture of blood and bone marrow in a single cycle. Each Angel Processing Set is capable of processing up to three (3) cycles. The top section of the Variable Volume Separation Chamber (the hard plastic component) is the Separation Chamber Plate. The Separation Chamber Plate is used to seat the Variable Volume Separation Chamber in the centrifuge. Platelet Cuvette / Valve Assembly: The Platelet Cuvette / Valve Assembly contains three major components: (1) the Platelet Cuvette, (2) the Pump Loop Tubing and (3) the Rotating Valve. The Platelet Cuvette is seated into the Platelet Sensor and is used to optimize the collection of the separated blood components. The Pump Loop Tubing is inserted around the pump, which moves volume from the Whole Blood Compartment of the Three-Compartment Reservoir Bag to the Variable Volume Separation Chamber and from the Variable Volume Separation Chamber to the various collection compartments for the separated blood products (PRP, PPP and RBC). The Rotating Valve rotates throughout the processing cycle to direct the whole blood, the mixture of blood and bone marrow, or its separated components through the appropriate pathway. The Platelet Cuvette / Valve Assembly has been designed so that the operator can easily install it while insuring that the Platelet Cuvette is properly seated in the Platelet Sensor and that the Rotating Valve is properly seated on the Valve Assembly Driver.

The clinician may use syringes or whole blood bags to collect the anticoagulated whole blood or the mixture of blood and bone marrow from a patient. The RBC Compartment [7] is used to collect the concentrated red cells at the end of the processing cycle. The PPP Compartment [8] is used to collect platelet poor plasma; the PPP is the first blood component collected after separation has been completed. Syringe-activated valves are used to access the PPP and Whole Blood Compartments of the Three-Compartment Reservoir Bag. Other items included in the Angel Processing Set: 20 mL Luer Lock Syringe [13]: The 20 mL Luer Lock Syringe is used for the collection of platelet rich plasma. However, the Syringe-activated PRP Valve will accommodate most luer fitting syringes. 60 mL Specimen Cups [11] (2 ea.): Two 60 mL Specimen Cups for use in a sterile field. Male/Female Luer Plugs [14]: The male/female luer plugs are used during and at the end of procedure to seal open luer lock connections. Whole Blood Bag Spike Adapter [15]: The Whole Blood Spike Adapter is used to transfer the blood or mixture of blood and bone marrow from a whole blood bag to the Whole Blood Compartment of the Three-Compartment Reservoir Bag. Labels: Appropriate labels for labeling the collected whole blood/bone marrow and separated components. The contents of this set have been sterilized by ethylene oxide gas and have nonpyrogenic fluid pathways. Warnings and Precautions Please see “Warnings” on page vii in the section “Before You Get Started”; see “Precautions” on page x in the same section. Setup and Blood/Bone Marrow Aspirate Preparation IMPORTANT: Due to the possibility of operator exposure to blood borne pathogens (such as HIV, hepatitis viruses, bacteria, etc.), Universal Precautions for blood borne pathogens should be practiced (e.g., gloves, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), etc.).

A progress bar will appear to monitor the progress of the saving process. Once all data lines have been saved, the text “Output saved” will be displayed beneath the “Output log file to:” Button and it will return to the Output Screen.
If the Stop Button is pressed while the case is being saved, the save process will stop, and an “Output Failed!” message will be displayed.
If the “Output Tally to USB storage device” Button or the “Output log file to:” Button never becomes enabled, or if the “Output failed!” message appears when trying to save, consult the “Troubleshooting the Save Process” on page 5-6.
Exit the Output Screen by touching the Close Button located in the upper right corner of the screen. When you close this screen, it will return to the End of Case Screen or the “Tally” tab.

Processing 2. Processing Time The “mm:ss” (minutes:seconds) time displayed underneath the analog clock icon indicates the amount of processing time required before the PRP will be collected, once the processing cycle begins. The time is based on the amount of whole blood or the mixture of blood and bone marrow volume selected for processing (using the Up and/or the Down Arrow Buttons). As the Up and/or the Down Arrow Buttons are touched, the processing time will interactively change to reflect the newly selected volumes. On all screens other than the Start Screen, the processing time displays and counts down the remaining time in the current cycle until the PRP is collected. 3. Cycle Enumerator The cycle enumerator displays the current cycle number in any screen. Each case may run up to three cycles. After each cycle, the operator must check the PRP volume collected to ensure that the PRP syringe does not overfill. 4. Alarm Display Alarms are shown as icons in the Alarm Display Area (see Figure 3-10 above). Touching the icon will bring up a context-sensitive information screen that describes the alarm in detail. The various icons which may appear in the Alarm Display Area are detailed in “Alarms and Notifications” on page 5-1. 5. Protocol Pull-Down Button The name of the currently loaded protocol is displayed to the left of the Protocol Pull-Down Button. Touching the Protocol Pull-Down Button will display a list of available protocols; touching the Protocol Pull-Down Button a second time collapses the list. Touching a protocol’s name in the list will select it as the protocol to be used during processing. The protocol may be changed after each cycle of a case. The Angel System is provided with a single Standard Protocol. The Standard Protocol is locked in the computer’s memory and cannot be altered or deleted. Refer to Chapter 4: Programmability Option, for additional information on protocols and creating custom protocols. 6-7. Up and Down Arrow Buttons Touching the Up and/or the Down Arrow Buttons will increase and/or decrease, respectively, the whole blood or the mixture of blood and bone marrow volume to process. The volume that is set to be processed is displayed by the number (in mL) in the center of the Touch Screen Display, and is reflected by the icon labeled “Whole blood volume to process”. A maximum of 180 mL can be processed in up to three (3) cycles for each disposable Angel Processing Set. A cycle can process from 40 to 180 mL of blood or mixture of blood and bone marrow. The default volume is 60 mL.
