Troubleshooting 9-9
9.2.2 Fluid Sensor Error
If a screen shows a sensor calibration error, the system has turned off that reagent sensor.
1. Go through troubleshooting for “Reagent Supply Errors,” on the previous page.
2. From the Home screen, select
Maintenance > Reagent Status
, and turn the sensor back
ON
.
3. Select
Calibrate Sensors
to recalibrate the failed sensor.
4. If the issue persists, call Abaxis Technical Support
9.2.3 Drain Pressure Error
Pressure errors occur when the analyzer is unable to empty its waste. This error can result from a kink
in the waste tube, a full waste bottle, a salt or blood clot, or disconnected tubing in the analyzer.
1. Check the waste tube (red band) for pinching or kinks and straighten if necessary. Empty the
waste bottle if needed.
2. Select
Drain
.
The analyzer will make a series of clicking noises while it attempts the draining.
3. If the pressure error continues, touch
Re-Drain
and the analyzer will try again to clear the
error by flushing fluids through the internal tubing.
4. If problem persists, open the analyzer’s side door.
a. Look for any debris in the tubing, especially
around the puffer chamber (side door in the
upper right, circled at right) and the tubing
around the peristaltic pump (rear door lower
left, as shown below).
b. Check the puffer chamber drain tube for clots, and massage out any clots if possible.
