Troubleshooting

If an operational or analyzer problem occurs, in most cases, an error
number with an explanation of the problem displays on the
Select Ready screen. If a problem persists, write down the error
number that displays and contact your local technical support
providerfor assistance.
If you think a Siemens urinalysis strip or an hCG cassette is causing the
problem, see its product insert for troubleshooting information.
After an error occurs, if you power off the analyzer, be sure to retest
the sample that was in progress. When you power on the analyzer,
restart the test.
