The cobas h 232 meter continually checks its systems for unexpected and unwanted conditions.
These may arise for technical reasons (defective components or consumables, environmental
factors) or due to handling and procedure errors.
Depending on the circumstances, a message may appear on the display of the meter. These
messages are marked with an icon, either for a status message, or for an error message.
All messages displayed by the system are accompanied by a description of the error and a pos-
sible solution.
Take the action suggested on screen to resolve the problem. If the error disappears, you may
continue using the meter as desired. If the problem persists, contact Roche (see page 205).
