The light source has degraded.
Air bubbles have formed in the optical unit cell.
Remedy a Touch to clear the warning. After measurement stops, perform steps b - e.
b If whole blood sample was measured with a rack for hemolysis sample, it is recommended to replace
the column with a new one (see page 4-11). If you do not have a spare column, perform the following
as a temporary remedy: 1) Set 10 empty sample tubes or cups in a normal rack and perform normal
measurement. 2) After measurement stops due to “T-354 Sample introduction”, perform HbA1c control
measurement. 3) Carefully check that the obtained results are normal. If abnormal results are obtained,
do not perform measurements until the column is replaced with a new one.
c Prepare samples so that the total area of the measurement result is between 30,000 to 60,000 counts.
