, Glu, and Lac
sensors for obstructions:
a. Remove the sensors one at a time and inspect each one for obstructions.
b. Fill a syringe with water, place the syringe against the sample path, and inject
water through the sample path.
c. If the obstruction is not removed from the Na

sensor, push the clot-removal line
through the sample path to remove obstructions.
6. Remove obstructions from the path through the latch:
a. Grasp the tab on the reference sensor and pull it up and out of the measurement
module.
b. Disconnect the pinch valve tubing from the spring-loaded latch.
CAUTION: Do not push the clot-removal line through the Ca
