10. Repeat the procedure on the CO-ox waste port (Rapidlab 1245 and 1265 systems).
a. Fill the plastic syringe with water and place it against the CO-ox waste port
b. Press the syringe plunger gently to insert water into the CO-ox waste port, while
c. Discard the gauze.
11. If there is no obstruction in the reagent manifold, proceed to Clearing the Clot from
the Preheater on page 17.
There is no obstruction if water inserted into a port flushes cleanly through the
corresponding exit port.
If you cleared an obstruction from the reagent manifold, go to step 13 to reinstall the
reagent manifold.
12. If you detect an obstruction in the reagent manifold, but are unable to clear it, you
have 2 options, as described below.
•
•
There is an obstruction that has not been cleared in the reagent manifold if you insert
water into a port and the water does not flush cleanly through the corresponding exit
port.
13. Reinstall or replace the reagent manifold.
a. Insert the reagent manifold until it latches into place, using the 2 latches
b. Reinsert the reagent manifold tubing (item 2, Figure 1) into the fitting
c. Reinsert the waste tubing into the port on the top, right-side of the reagent
14. Close the system.
a. Reinstall the reagent and wash cartridges.
b. Close the reagent and wash module doors.
c. Close the front cover of the system.
15. Select the Return button twice to exit Diagnostics mode.
You are prompted to calibrate the system.

holding gauze against the end of the tubing that is connected
to the CO-ox waste exit port (item 2, Figure 6-2), to catch the obstruction and any
excess liquid.
Perform a clot clearing procedure using a clot-removal line, as described in
Removing Clots Using the Clot-Removal Line‚ page 6-24. Then repeat this
procedure to ensure an obstruction has been removed. If this does not work, go to
step 13 to replace the reagent manifold with a new reagent manifold. See page
page 13 for reagent manifold part numbers.
Replace the reagent manifold with a new reagent manifold, by following the
procedure in step 13 (for reagent manifold part numbers, see page 13).
