For a startup cycle failure on the Horiba ABX Micros ES 60, follow these troubleshooting steps:
2. Perform Suggested Actions: - For mechanical errors (69–73): Manually check the mechanical movement and run a startup cycle again. - For service cycle errors (85–87): Restart the analyzer using the Logout screen → Shutdown → Restart, then run a startup cycle.
3. Run a Manual Startup Cycle: - Switch on the instrument. - Press the "Status" button to display the status area. - Press the "Startup" button to run the startup cycle manually.
4. If Reagents Are Not at Correct Temperature: - Directly start a startup loop from the status screen.
These steps help reset the analyzer and resolve common startup failures.

After cycle is complete, the needle won't return for cleanine

Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025
The needle may not return for cleaning after the cycle is complete due to several possible issues:
1. Partial Blockage in the Sampling Needle – A blockage may prevent the needle from moving properly. It should be removed and flushed out (see section 3.7 on unblocking the sampling needle).
2. Bent Sampling Needle – If the needle is bent, it may not align correctly for cleaning. The needle should be replaced if necessary (see section 3.8 on replacing the needle).
3. Mechanical Failure – There could be an issue with the motor responsible for needle movement. Checking motor operation may help diagnose the problem.
4. Disconnected Components – If any parts related to the needle movement are disconnected, it may prevent proper function. Checking connections and reassembling components correctly might resolve the issue.
Following the troubleshooting steps in the manual can help identify and fix the problem.

ABX Micros ES60/ESV60 1. Measuring principles 1.1. WBC and differential count 1.1.1. General counting principles The WBC measurement principles are the same as the RBC/PLT measuring principles. The WBC count is performed in the WBC/HGB chamber. The electronic signal-processing device places an electronic threshold between the WBC and PLT signals.

ABX Micros ES60/ESV60 1.2. RBC/PLT The RBC’s and PLT’s are measured by an electronic impedance variation principle. This means that an electronic field is generated around the micro- aperture within the chamber in which the blood cells are pulled through. The sample is diluted with an electrolytic Diluent (electronic current conducting fluid), mixed then pulled through a calibrated micro-aperture.
Analysis cycle technology ◆ Technical characteristics for the RED BLOOD CELL and PLATELET count: Dilution First dilution volume used 28.3 µl: rate 1/170 Vol. ABX Diluent 2500 µl Final dilution rate 1/15000 Measurement Method Impedance Ruby diameter 50µm Depression of count 200mb Duration of the count 2 (or 3)x6 sec.
ABX Micros ES60/ESV60 1.4. Hematocrit measurement principle The height of the impulse generated by the passage of a cell through the micro-aperture is directly proportional to the volume of the analyzed RBC. The hematocrit is measured as a function of the numeric integration of the MCV. 1.5.

the startup cycle fails every time on the Horiba ABX Micros ES 60
For a startup cycle failure on the Horiba ABX Micros ES 60, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check for Specific Error Messages: Identify any error codes such as:
- Error 69: Door opening mechanic cycle failed
- Error 70: Needle positioning mechanic cycle failed
- Error 71: Tube piercing mechanic cycle failed
- Error 72: Valve positioning mechanic cycle failed
- Error 73: Waste piston positioning mechanic cycle failed
2. Perform Suggested Actions:
- For mechanical errors (69–73): Manually check the mechanical movement and run a startup cycle again.
- For service cycle errors (85–87): Restart the analyzer using the Logout screen → Shutdown → Restart, then run a startup cycle.
3. Run a Manual Startup Cycle:
- Switch on the instrument.
- Press the "Status" button to display the status area.
- Press the "Startup" button to run the startup cycle manually.
4. If Reagents Are Not at Correct Temperature:
- Directly start a startup loop from the status screen.
These steps help reset the analyzer and resolve common startup failures.

After cycle is complete, the needle won't return for cleanine
The needle may not return for cleaning after the cycle is complete due to several possible issues:
1. Partial Blockage in the Sampling Needle – A blockage may prevent the needle from moving properly. It should be removed and flushed out (see section 3.7 on unblocking the sampling needle).
2. Bent Sampling Needle – If the needle is bent, it may not align correctly for cleaning. The needle should be replaced if necessary (see section 3.8 on replacing the needle).
3. Mechanical Failure – There could be an issue with the motor responsible for needle movement. Checking motor operation may help diagnose the problem.
4. Disconnected Components – If any parts related to the needle movement are disconnected, it may prevent proper function. Checking connections and reassembling components correctly might resolve the issue.
Following the troubleshooting steps in the manual can help identify and fix the problem.
