New connectivity captures data at its source, reducing manual burden and enabling broader value across patient care, research and biopharma collaboration
FREMONT, Calif., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- StafaCT, Inc., a provider of software solutions for apheresis, cell therapy and transplant, and biopharma workflows, today announced the successful deployment of its direct device connectivity with Terumo BCT Spectra Optia® apheresis systems at one of the world's leading centers for apheresis, cell therapy, and transplantation.
The deployment enables structured data capture directly from the apheresis device – where critical collection and therapeutic procedure data begins – creating a more reliable digital foundation across clinical and operational workflows.
Apheresis procedures, including both cell collection and therapeutic treatments, generate high-value clinical and operational data. However, much of this information is still manually transcribed into electronic health records (EHRs) or other systems, creating administrative burden and increasing the risk of incomplete or inconsistent documentation.
StafaCT's connectivity helps address this by automatically capturing device-generated data from Spectra Optia systems, reducing manual data entry for nurses and technicians, improving data completeness and consistency, and allowing care teams to focus more on patient care.
"This is about starting the data story at the source," said Charles Hutka, Chief Commercial Officer at StafaCT. "When apheresis data is captured directly – across both collection and therapeutic procedures – it becomes more reliable and more valuable across the entire workflow."
Capturing data at the point of collection or treatment transforms apheresis data into a more usable asset across clinical, operational, and research use cases. With structured data available earlier, organizations can strengthen documentation for quality and accreditation, improve visibility into procedure-level details, support more consistent operations across workflows, enable data sharing with biopharma partners where appropriate, and expand clinical research and multi-site studies.
The solution has been deployed at a high-volume, globally recognized center for apheresis, cell therapy, and transplantation, demonstrating its ability to integrate into complex clinical workflows at scale. By capturing data directly from the apheresis device – the starting point of the data chain – programs can establish a stronger foundation for downstream documentation, analysis, and collaboration.
StafaCT will showcase this capability at the ASFA & WAA Joint Meeting 2026. Attendees can visit StafaCT at Booth #403 to learn how capturing apheresis data at the source can help programs reduce documentation burden, improve operational visibility, and support more connected clinical, research, and biopharma workflows.
