When at three or more of the WBC, RBC, PLT and HGB results are abnormal, you may do
the “Empty Baths” procedure to find out the reason.
Follow the steps below to do so:
1. Do steps 1-5 of the “Lyse Test” to expose the baths.
2. At the “Maintenance” screen, SELECT “Drain Baths” to drain the baths.

3. When the draining is done, check the baths and the tubing below them for residual fluid. If
there is no fluid, press [ENTER] to prime the baths with diluent, as Figure10-21 shows.
When the priming is done, the screen displays “Empty Baths End”.
