Note: Any failure by hospitals or organizations responsible for using this instrument to implement a
competent repair/maintenance plan is likely to result in abnormal instrument failure or even a health
hazard.
To prevent risk of explosion, do not use combustible gases (e.g. anesthetics) or liquids (e.g. ethanol)
near this product.
The machine should be powered off while troubleshooting. Any maintenance operation while the
power is on can lead to electric shock or damage to its electrical components.
Please connect the device to the socket using a separate fuse and surge protection switch. If the
device shares a fuse and surge protection switch with other equipment, e.g. life support equipment,
any malfunction may cause an electric surge to occur when the instrument is powered on, which can
trip the circuit breaker.
Maintenance personnel must keep their clothes, hair, and hands away from moving parts such as the
sample probe, jaws, and puncture needle to avoid being stabbed or pinched during maintenance.
Parts with special warnings may be subject to mechanical movements and thus lead to injuries from
pinching or stabbing during normal operation or disassembly and repair.
Operators are obligated to comply with local and national regulations with regard to the disposal and
emission of expired reagents, waste, waste samples, consumables, and so on.
Reagents can be irritating to the eyes, skin, and mucosa. When handling reagents and their related
items in the laboratory, the operator should comply with laboratory safety regulations and wear
personal protective equipment (such as a protective lab suit, gloves, etc.).
If the reagent accidentally comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with plenty of
water and see a doctor if necessary. Do the same if you accidentally get any of the reagent in your
eyes.

1 Manual Overview
Improper maintenance may damage the analyzer. Maintenance personnel should maintain the device
in accordance with the instructions contained in the service manual, and inspect the device properly
after each maintenance.
If you encounter a problem not specified in the service manual, please contact our aftersales service
department. A professional will be assigned to offer you maintenance advice.
When repairing the electronic components of the device, please take off any metal accessories you
might be wearing to prevent personal injury or damage to the device.
Electrostatic discharge may cause damage to the device’s electronic components. If the repair process
can result in any electrostatic damage, please wear an antistatic wrist strap or maintain the device on
an antistatic workstation.
This analyzer must be operated by trained medical testing professionals, doctors, nurses, or laboratory
technicians.
Samples, controls, calibrators, and waste may pose a potential risk of bio-contamination. When
handling reagents and related items in the laboratory, the operator should comply with laboratory
safety regulations and wear personal protective equipment (such as a protective lab suit, gloves, etc.).
Both the parts and surface of the analyzer are potentially infectious, so please take safety precautions
during operation and maintenance.
The pointed sample probe, any blood stains left on it, QC materials, and calibrators may be
potentially bio-infectious, so please avoid contact with the sample probe.

2. Remove the impurities and place the components in their original positions. Make sure to align the
two marked lines correctly while installing (as shown in Figure 3-25).

2. Pull out the tubing connected to the WBC outflow tube and connect the plastic syringe filled with the
diluted probe cleanser (with a ratio of probe cleanser to diluent of 1:3) to the WBC outflow tube (as
shown in Figure 3-27).Pushing the plastic syringe back and forth will facilitate the repeated flushing
of the aperture with the probe cleanser. Apply proper force while pushing to prevent the tube from
dropping and spilling (you can hold the tube with your hand to keep it in place).

3. Flush back and forth ten times, and then let it settle for 3 minutes. Afterward, flush it three more times
with a syringe containing the pure diluent using the aforementioned method.
4. After the diluent cleaning, drain the liquid inside the WBC bath and reconnect the original tubing. To
drain the WBC bath by interface operation, click the OK key in the prompt confirmation box after
draining, and then press the one-click troubleshooting button to see if the clogging problem is
resolved.
5. If aperture clogging persists, redo the above procedures until the problem has been resolved.

2. Set the small sample cup under the pulled out connector. Once no more residue liquid flowage can be
detected, connect the connector to the silicone tube using the plastic syringe (as shown in Figure
3-29).

4. Pull the plastic syringe in Step 2 by hand and aspirate the probe cleanser into the flow chamber. If you
encounter a great deal of resistance while doing this, the plastic syringe will have to be drawn until the
probe cleanser level inside the small sample cup drops. Then you can let go and begin to soak the
probe cleanser.
5. After soaking it for five minutes or so, restore the original tubing and click the one-click
troubleshooting button to see if the problem has been resolved. If the problem persists, keep taking the
aforementioned steps until the problem has been resolved.

If the problem has been resolved, end the procedure; if the problem persists, continue to perform the
following steps:
4. Check whether or not the isolation chamber is airtight.
After obtaining permission from qualified service personnel, first drain the WBC bath (the liquid can
also be aspirated dry manually using a plastic syringe or other tools): Go to the "Service > Maintain"
screen, double-click the "drain the WBC bath" button (note that a prompt box will pop up for
confirmation after draining; do not press the OK key, otherwise the WBC bath will be refilled with
liquid).
Disassemble the isolation chamber below the WBC bath and pull out the corresponding tubing. Use
the thick No. 50 tube or 1.6mm (i.d.) silicone tube to attach the two connectors to the side of the
isolation chamber, plugging both apertures. Then attach the plastic syringe to the connector above the
isolation chamber using a 1.6mm (i.d.) silicone tube. Push the plastic syringe to pressurize the
isolation chamber, and hold the syringe steady for 30 seconds to check for any appearance of air
bubbles. If any air bubbles occur, the isolation chamber needs to be replaced.

5. After inspection, the components and tubing need to be restored to their original locations. Click on
the OK key in the confirmation box that pops up after the counting bath is drained by opening the user
interface.
If the liquid level in the WBC bath is found to be too high, immediately shut down the device to prevent
any further overflowing.

If the problem has been resolved, end the procedure; if the problem persists, continue to perform the
following steps:
4. Check if there is perforation at the bottom of the sample probe.
Set the small sample cup below the probe. When pulling out the tube above the probe (push the tube
end outward to pull it out; otherwise there will be crimping in the sampling tube connected to the end
of the probe), disassemble the probe, and connect it to the plastic syringe filled with the diluent using
a 1.6mm (i.d.) silicone tube. Manually push the syringe to see if any liquid flows from the bottom end
of the probe. If such a flow is detected, this indicates that perforation exists at the bottom of the probe
(the liquid normally flows from the sides. Be sure to collect the waste when pushing the liquid to the
correct location, as shown in Figure 3-37).
Figure 3-37 Check the liquid pushing of the sample probe
Restore the tubing to its original status (cut off the crimped part at the front end of the sampling tube,
and readjust the tubing for installation. Make sure to check if the sampling tubing gets into the way of
other assemblies whenever the sampling assembly moves up and down, or if it feels too tight. If this is
the case, continue to adjust the sampling tubing until it looks like it fits properly.)
5. Check for any wear and tear in the top aperture of the swab.
To disassemble, take off the swab's fixed jump ring. Pull out the swab's inflow and outflow tubes.
Measure the upper-section aperture with a caliper; an aperture with a diameter of more than 1.71mm
indicates that the swab needs to be replaced.

supply is not working properly.
U74 deserves further description as follows. U74 is the ARM power management chip in the digital
section of the main control panel. The working status of this chip determines the working status of the
main control panel. As shown in Figure 4-6, D43 turned on indicates the proper working of U74.
Furthermore, the voltage of each testing point when U74 is working properly should be consistent with
the screen printing on the enclosure.

Connection Problems with the Main Control Panel and their Indicators
Connection problems with the main control panel mainly involve the reliability of connections between
the main control panel and the rear panel, as well as the counting-bath lead wire and the of main control
panel's sockets.
The reliability of connections between main control panel and the rear panel can be ensured using the
PCB handle and screw.
The correct plugging method is shown in Figure 4-7 and Figure 4-8.

When connecting the lead wire of the counting baths to the main control panel, pay attention to the
order in which the lead wires are plugged in. Normally the RBC-bath lead wire needs to be plugged
into J5, while the WBC-bath lead wire must be plugged into J6.
The illustration shows the sockets on the main control panel, and the lead wires of each counting bath
also have relevant markings. See Figure 4-11 and Figure 4-12, respectively.
Figure 4-11 Positions for plugging the counting -bath lead wires into the main control panel
If the network cable in the device packaging is only used for the physical connection between the device and the
PC, the it needs to be a straight-through network cable (i.e. A-wire); if the device is connected to a network,
make sure that the switch has a self-adapted network-port line sequence (and AUTO MDI/MDIX function)
enabled. The straight-through network cable is applicable if the switch is capable of self-adaption for the
63
4 Hardware System
network-port line sequence. If no such function is available, use the crossover network cable (i.e. B-wire).Most
current switches are equipped with self-adapting network-port line sequences. The network cable included in the
shipping package is normally the A-wire.
Functional Problems with the Main Control Panel and their Indicators
Functional Problems with the main control panel mainly refer to situations wherein the main control panel
fails to implement the counting function. Specifically, the digital OS of the main control panel fails to
boot, FPGA program loading fails, and counting abnormalities are identified. These possible occurrences
are described in detail below.
ARM OS on the main control panel fails to boot
The ARM on the main control panel boots from NAND using its default factory setting, so the
booting media selection switch S3 should be turned to NAND (i.e. OFF state for DIP switches), as
shown in Figure 4-13.
Figure 4-13 ARM booting and running
64
4 Hardware System
When the ARM OS is booted properly, the working-status indicator light D46 will flash on the main
control panel. If D46 is not lit up, it is very likely that the ARM OS has failed to boot.
Loading problems with the FPGA program
The FPGA program is loaded from the serial port FLASH.A successful loading of the FPGA will
cause the indicator light D48 to flash. If D48 is not lit up, it means that FPGA program has not
loaded. The location of D48 is shown in Figure 4-14.
65
4 Hardware System
Counting abnormalities
There are many causes that lead to counting abnormalities, and they can include problems with main
control panel problem. Counting abnormalities caused by main control panel problems usually
involve counting results of zero or overly high counting results on multiple occasions. A counting
result of zero usually results from a failure to apply the CC source to the counting bath, while an
overly high counting result is usually caused by too much noise in the analog-channel circuit.
