D13 No Sample Detected at FD1
Problem
Fluid detector 1 (FD1) does not detect the sample during the predefined time limit.
Solutions
Check the sample entry components for obstructions and the sample path for
blood clots. If obstructions are found press Stop as prompted in the message
box. Remove them as described in Removing Obstructions from the Sample
Entry Components page 4-79.
NOTE:ĄĂPerform a two-point calibration and analyze QC materials to verify
sensor performance after removing a clot.
If there is no obstruction, perform a wash. Observe the fluid as it moves through
the system for sufficient wash flow, wash segments, and no leaks at sample
port.
Check for cracks or leaks in the sample tubing. If necessary, replace the sample
tubing as described in Replacing the Sample Tubing in Section 3.
Check the measurement module for leaks. Check that the sensors are installed
in the correct order and are aligned, the O-rings are in place, and the
spring-loaded latch is closed as described in Removing and Checking the
Sensors on page 4-65.
Check the sample pump tubing for leaks, flattened areas, or other signs of wear.
If necessary, replace the tubing as described in Replacing the Pump Tubing in
Section 3.
Perform the Fluid Detector Test as described in Fluid Detector Test, page 4-66.
Perform the Pump Functions Test as described in Pump Functions Test,
page 4-58.
If the D code reappears, contact your Service Representative.
