  Samuel DominguezAug 29, 2025
  If the Mindray Measuring Instruments displays a 'WBC bubbles' error, it can be caused by diluent or rinse running out, loose tube connections, or an inappropriate WBC count time setting. Check if the diluent or rinse has run out, and if so, replace it. Also, check the connection of the diluent and rinse pickup tubes, reconnecting and tightening them if necessary. If the problem persists, adjust the WBC count time.
