D4 Offset Error: Glu Lac
D5 Codes
D5 No Endpoint: Ca
++
Problem Corrective Action
Sensor offset is
beyond predefined
limits during a
2-point calibration.
Correct any reagent problems such as D23 codes before you
attempt to correct this D code.
• Check that the biosensors are installed in the correct location
and are aligned, the O-rings are in place, and the
spring-loaded latch is closed.
If necessary, remove and install the sensors correctly.
• Check the biosensor contacts and measurement block for
salt buildup.
• Check behind the biosensor for fluid leaks that can come
from the reference sensor.
If salt or leaks are present, clean the sensors with water, dry,
reinstall, and perform a 2-point calibration. Refer to
Performing Manual Calibrations‚ page 3-4.
• If the problem persists, replace the biosensor.
• If the problem persists, call for technical assistance.
Problem Corrective Action
Sensor does not
reach stable reading
during predefined
time limit.
The patient sample
result for the
affected sensor is
reported as question
result (-----?).
Correct any reagent problems such as D23 codes before you
attempt to correct this D code.
• Ensure that the measurement module door was not opened
during analysis.
If door was opened, repeat the sample analysis.
• Perform a 2-point calibration.
Refer to Performing Manual Calibrations‚ page 3-4.
• If a D5 occurs during sample analysis, repeat the sample.
• Deproteinize the sample path and condition the sensors.
Refer to Deproteinizing the Sample Path‚ page 5-4.
• Check the solution level in the affected measurement sensor
and look for bubbles.
The K
+
, Ca
++
, and Cl¯ sensors should be nearly full. The pH
and Na
+
sensors should be full. If the solution level is low,
refill the sensor.
• If a D5 occurs for more than one sensor, check the solution
level in the reference sensor and look for salt in the vent
hole, and bubbles in the sensor.
• Clean and refill the reference sensor as needed.
