Possible cause & corrective action
1 - The magnetic particles of the CCS cartridge are not correctly mixed:
manually mix the magnetic particles vial by gentle repeated inversion.
2 - Check that the probe is not blocked or bent. Carry out a decontamination
of the probe (see Section 5-1-1-4, page 117), if applicable. If the probe is bent,
replace it and adjust the XYZ reference position (see Section 5-4-2, page 127).
3 - Check for air bubbles in the IDS-iSYS Wash Solution tubing. Carry out a full
priming of all washers.
4 - Repeat the CCSB test.
5 - If the problem persists, contact IDS Service & Support personnel.
CCS1/CCS2 Ratio outside
limits
1 - Presence of air bubbles in the sampling fluidic circuit. Check for air bubbles
in the tubing circuit. Carry out a full priming of the arm.
2 - Check for the presence of bubbles in the reagents: there should be none.
3 - Check that the probe is not blocked or bent. Carry out a decontamination
of the probe (see Section 5-1-1-4, page 117, if applicable. If the probe is bent,
replace it and adjust the XYZ reference position (see Section 5-4-2, page 127).
4 - Check for air bubbles in the IDS-iSYS Triggers A and B tubing.
5 - Repeat the CCS1 & 2 tests.
6 - If the problem persists, contact IDS Service & Support personnel.
CCSB / CCS1 (x10) Ratio
outside limits
1 - Replace the IDS-iSYS Triggers A and B.
2 - Adjust the probe XYZ reference position (see 5-4-10- Adjustment of probe
reference position, page 132).
3 - Replace the CCS cartridge.
4 - Repeat the CCS1 and CCSB tests.
5 - If the problem persists, contact IDS Service & Support personnel.
