Explanation
The analyzer is recording a temperature outside its operating
range. Move the analyzer to an area within the operating
temperature of the test being performed and allow the analyzer
to come to the new room temperature. Check the analyzer's
temperature reading on the Status Page.
The analyzer has detected that the last test cycle was not
completed. This can happen if the batteries were removed
or were making poor contact while a cartridge was still in the
analyzer. Batteries that are too short will not make proper
contact. Check that the batteries are inserted properly and
seated well in the analyzer; check the battery voltage on the
analyzer's Status Page and replace batteries if low. NOTE:
Patient results displayed before this code are valid.
If the date in the real time clock precedes the release date
programmed into the application software, code 11 is triggered.
Check the date on the real time clock.
The accuracy of the clock is checked at the beginning of
a coagulation test. If the clock is inaccurate, Code 11 is
triggered.
The CLEW standardization has expired. Download a valid
CLEW.
The date on the real time clock exceeds the expiration date of
the CLEW software. Check the date on the real time clock.
The CLEW is corrupt or not compatible with the application
software (JAMS), or there is no CLEW in the analyzer.
Download a valid CLEW. If this code occurs after a software
upgrade and the customization application is enabled in the
CDS, change the CLEW version in the Customization Profile to
the latest version and re-transmit the profile to the analyzer.
Customization profile is corrupted. Download analyzer to the
data manager. If code 14 reoccurs, contact your local support
organization for further assistance.
The barcode scanned by the user does not match the
immunoassay cartridge type indicated by the identification
chip in the cartridge. The user should run another cartridge,
being careful to scan the barcode from the portion pack of the
specific cartridge type being run on the analyzer.
This message will appear in the stored test records on the
i-STAT 1 Analyzer if the analyzer powers down before
mandatory information was entered.
Explanation
During the PT/INR cycle, no clot was detected. Run another
cartridge. If code 19 reappears, run the sample on an alternate
methodology.
