How do I resolve HemoCue Medical Equipment error codes E01-E05?
HemoCue Medical Equipment error codes E01 through E05 usually indicate a dirty optronic unit or a faulty electronic or optronic unit. Turn off the analyzer and clean the optronic unit as described in the Maintenance section.
What to do if HemoCue Medical Equipment shows error E07?
If your HemoCue Medical Equipment displays error code E07, it indicates low battery power. Replace the batteries with four new AA 1.5 V batteries after turning off the analyzer. Alternatively, use the power adapter.
How to troubleshoot error codes on HemoCue Medical Equipment?
If your HemoCue Medical Equipment displays an error code, try these steps: Turn the analyzer off, wait 30 seconds, and then turn it back on. Use a new microcuvette and repeat the measurement. If the error persists, consult the specific error code details.
