Why is the power button flashing red on my GE ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 Laboratory Equipment?
- A
  Anita HarrisAug 22, 2025
  If the power button on your GE Laboratory Equipment flashes red, it could mean several things. First, verify the connection between the rocker and the client computer or network. It's also possible that system units like the CBCU or pump defined in the system setup in UNICORN are not connected to the rocker; in this case, disable the missing components in UNICORN. Finally, an internal error may have occurred in the embedded computer of the rocker; read any warning message carefully and follow the instructions. If the problem persists, contact GE service personnel.

Why are CBCU and/or pump not recognized by UNICORN on my GE Laboratory Equipment?
- K
  Keith RochaSep 1, 2025
  If the CBCU and/or pump are not recognized by UNICORN in your GE Laboratory Equipment, reposition the connectors or insert jumpers in the unused positions between the occupied ports if there is a gap between occupied UniNet-9 ports on the rocker rear panel, referring to Connect system units to the rocker, on page 86. Additionally, read the displayed message when you connect to the system in System Control and make sure all available components are selected for the system. See Section 5.2.3 Configure system properties, on page 127.

Why is there no heating in my GE ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 even though it's enabled in UNICORN?
- J
  Jennifer JonesAug 29, 2025
  If your GE Laboratory Equipment is not heating, despite heating being enabled in UNICORN and the frame around the temperature button being orange, ensure that the rocker is rocking, as the heater is automatically turned off when rocking is disabled. If this doesn't solve the issue, contact GE service personnel because the tray size is not recognized or the heater is in an error state. Also, check and set the bag size in Settings: Cellbag in the Process Picture.

  If the pump is not recognized by UNICORN in your GE Laboratory Equipment, check the pump CAN ID. If it is incorrect, change the CAN ID using the switch on the pump rear panel, referring to CAN ID, on page 57 for details. Each pump must have a unique CAN ID value. Remember to switch off the system before changing the CAN ID, and then restart it. Also, ensure that the pump is selected as a component by clicking Edit in System Properties in the Administration module and adding the pump as a component.

How to fix CBCU not recognized by UNICORN in GE ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 Laboratory Equipment?
- J
  josesinghAug 27, 2025
  If the CBCU (Central Bedside Control Unit) is not recognized by UNICORN on your GE Laboratory Equipment, first check the CBCU CAN ID. If it is incorrect, change the CAN ID using the switch on the CBCU rear panel, referring to CAN ID, on page 54 for details. Remember to switch off the system before changing the CAN ID, and then restart it. Also, ensure that the CBCU is selected as a component by clicking Edit in System Properties in the Administration module and adding the CBCU as a component.

Why is temperature control not functioning on my GE ReadyToProcess WAVE 25?
- C
  Cassandra RyanAug 25, 2025
  If your GE Laboratory Equipment's temperature control isn't functioning, or the displayed temperature appears incorrect, it might be because the temperature sensor isn't in contact with the culture medium. Make sure there's enough culture medium in the Cellbag bioreactor to cover the temperature sensor, even when the rocker is rocking. Check for any creases with air pockets on the Cellbag bioreactor film covering the sensor, and ensure that pH or DO cables aren't touching the temperature sensor. It's also possible the temperature sensor needs calibration; see Section 6.1 Calibration, on page 151. If needed, contact GE service personnel.

Why is my GE ReadyToProcess WAVE 25 displaying an incorrect weight?
- B
  Barry SantosAug 23, 2025
  If your GE Laboratory Equipment displays an incorrect weight, there are several potential causes. Ensure that the weight distribution on the rocker feet is even, following the instructions in Section 5.3.3 Add and equilibrate culture medium, on page 138. Also, verify the rocker is placed on a horizontal surface. If the tare wasn't done before adding the load, enter the correct net weight and press tare; if the correct weight is unknown, remove all load and tare the scale. Check for any mechanical obstructions to the rocker, such as a tray not firmly locked, tubing pulling on the Cellbag bioreactor, or any other obstruction to the rocker's movement. Finally, the scale may need calibration; see Section 6.1 Calibration, on page 151. If needed, contact GE service personnel.
