Table 6-5
Probable Cause
The Rapidlink or Rapidcomm
data management system or the
LIS connected to the
Rapidlab 1200 system turned the
parameter off.
The system could not report a
result because a parameter used
to determine the result was not
reported, not available, or sample
demographics were not entered.

Missing Results
Corrective Action
Contact your system supervisor for assistance if
you need to analyze samples and obtain results for
this parameter.
Verify that the system reported valid results for all
necessary parameters.
To identify parameters that depend on other
parameters for results, refer to Required
Parameters and Sample Demographics‚ page 8-17.
If demographics editing is turned on in Setup, recall
the sample results and enter the values for the
sample demographics. Refer to Editing
Demographics‚ page 2-25.
Ensure that the parameters and sample
demographics are turned on in Setup. Refer to
Setting up Parameters‚ page 8-13.
Probable Cause
The lot is expired for the
control that is currently
scheduled, or no lot is
entered for the control.
All parameters are out
of calibration because
they were turned off in
Setup and then turned
on again.
If all parameters are
available, the Rapidlink
or Rapidcomm data
management system or
the LIS connected to the
Rapidlab 1200 system
has turned analysis
functions off for the
Rapidlab 1200 system.
Corrective Action
If the lot is expired, define a new lot of
control.
If no lot is defined for the current control,
enter the lot.
Perform a 2-point calibration to make the
parameter available again.
Contact your system supervisor for
assistance if you need to analyze samples.
