TROUBLESHOOTING
5. TROUBLE SHOOTING:
In troubleshooting Flow Path Error is the main error mainly it will cause
due to Protein deposition.
By cleaning the flow step by step flow path will be clear.
We have to concentrate on below parts to identify and to clear the flow

path.
1) Electrode housing
2) Sampler i.e. probe mechanism
3) Reagent pack
4) Valve module
Follow below steps to clear the flow path
5.1. REAGENT PACKS CHECKING:
Perform priming if you found that liquid is not coming then check
Reagent Pack consumption.
MENU → DIAGNOSTICS → REAGENT PACK
If it shows Solution left as 0%, then change the Pack. Make a note that
Sometimes if Solution left shows <20% also then there will be a chance
of empty Reagent Pack.
5.2. ELECTRODE HOUSING:

If Reagent pack is not empty but still it liquid is not coming out then. Go
to Maintenance mode.
 Remove Sample tube from Bubble detector side & remove the Pump
tube from the bottom of Reference housing and directly connect
Sample tube to pump tube i.e we Bypassed Reference Housing as
shown in figure.
 If liquid is coming out then remove electrode housing and remove the
stag of electrodes along with sample detector from the reference
housing and flush it with distilled water 2 times or daily cleaner.
Don’t forget to flush air several times after distilled water or daily
cleaner. As shown in fig.
29

 Insert all staged electrodes into the reference housing after cleaning
inner silicon seals individually and repeat above procedure with air
flush and then connect the electrode housing in the instrument.
5.3. CLEANING SAMPLER MECHANISM
If you found that there is a flow problem in Sampler then enter in

to maintenance mode, remove the peristaltic tube from the bottom of
the sampler, remove the sample tube from the bubble detector,
connect it to the bold needle & flush it with syringe by using DI water
or Daily cleaner without lifting the flip and then change the probe
seal.
Removing probe seal:

 Lift the sampler cover towards upward direction.
 Rotate the seal holder in anti clock wise direction till it opens.
 Remove the seal out from the probe and dispose.
Fixing probe seal:

 Insert the new probe seal in to the probe.

5.4. PROCEDURE TO CLEAN VALVE TUBING
Valve Module consists of two valves, valve 1 & valve 2 respectively.

Valve 1 is used to separate CAL A & CAL B flow and Valve 2 is used to
take air and valve 1 output
 First remove CAL-A & CAL-B tubes from thermal system.

 Take out whole valve tubing from valves (V1 & V2) slots.
 Take syringe with DI water.
 Flush whole tubing with DI water in order to clear all the salt
formation in flow path.
 Finally flush whole tubing with air and then reinsert in respective
positions at valves flow path tube slots.
Note:
Pinch valve tubing should be totally inserted in the valve towards
inner side. Partial or incomplete inserted tube can let solutions mix
up.
Fig: 25 Fluid control valves
The valves should control standards flow by using the close or

open movements of lock pins.
If getting standards milli volts equally or ‘Air in CAL-B’ error then

do the VALVE TEST by using below steps.
Press Menu Diagnostics Flow Valve test
By performing this test, we can identify the salt blockage in the

tubing and also we can identify the functioning of individual valves.
Note:
At an ideal state A (V1), Air (V2) slots are in open condition
and obviously B (V1) & A/B (V2) slots are in close condition.
31
CAL-A flow:
Check Cal A flow through valves as per its respective
functionality. It activates Cal A flow and provides 300 seconds time
duration to check its operation. When the time gets completed, it
deactivates automatically or the user can off it by press the Stop
button.
Observe the lock pin movements of V2.

 V1 lock will not move because already the CAL-A slot is in open
condition and CAL-B slot is in close condition.
 V2 lock closes ‘Air’ slot and opens ‘A/B’ slot.
CAL-A flow checking:
 Take syringe with bold needle.
 Remove the pinch valve tubing end point present at the bottom of

5.5. ELECTRODE CLEANING:

After performing calibration if slopes are not in the range or giving ****
even liquid flow is perfect, then clean electrodes by using below
mentioned methods
 Run Daily cleaner.
 Then also it is not giving good results then flush electrode stag using
DI water.
 Separate each electrode individually and clean Na, K and iCa
electrodes with the edge needle (spring needle) provided in service
tool kit along with the instrument to rub protein which has grip on
the membrane of the electrode and plain needle in Cl, Li and pH
electrodes. Don’t use edge needle in Cl, Li and pH electrodes.
CAUTION: Don’t use the spring needle which is already used for Cl
electrode to any other electrodes. And don’t use spring needle several
times to clean the electrodes which may cause damage to electrode
membrane.
After doing every step please calibrate the instrument two times with
print mV is ON.
Calibration slope ranges: If it is in the following range
Na : Should be in between100 to 35 mV/decade

K : Should be in between 100 to 35 mV/decade
iCa: Should be in between 50 to 15 mV/decade
Li : Should be in between 100 to 30 mV/decade
pH : Should be in between 100 to 30 mV/decade
Cl : Should be in between 100 to 30 mV/decade
Then go for sample analysis or replace faulty electrode.

6. ERROR MESSAGES:
6.1. 234.16 mV’s or ± 435 mV’s error:
If you are getting all CAL-B & CAL-A mV’s as 234.16 mV’s or ± 435 mV’s
Then look at left down corner of the reference slightly so that you can see
the reference hole having any bubbles. If bubbles are present in the pin
hole, knock it or slightly shake up side down the reference to remove the
bubbles from the hole. If bubbles are completely removed then calibrate
the instrument it will work.
Fig: 26 Reference housing
Also check any salt coming from silver pin side. If yes clean it & try to
place the reference in the instrument & check mVs.
See reference IFS (Inner Filling Solution) is leak from any side. If yes
don't use it.
 After trying all the above steps and then check reference Pogo pin.
And make sure that it should be tight
 Then also problem remain same, then Reinsert Pre amplifier board
on the mother board, and make sure that no loose connections on
the Pre amplifier board. Reinsert the connections on the Preamp.
