Corrective Action
•
If the problem persists, replace the sensor.
If the reference sensor has the slope error, the K
+
pH, and Na
sensors will also have slope errors.
Replace the reference sensor before replacing the other
sensors.
•
If the problem persists, call for technical assistance.
Corrective Action
Correct any reagent problems such as D23 codes before you
attempt to correct this D code.
•
Perform a 2-point calibration.
Refer to Performing Manual Calibrations‚ page 3-4.
•
If the glucose sensor is > 30 days old or the lactate sensor is
> 5 days old, replace the sensor.
•
Check that the biosensors are installed in the correct location
and are aligned, the O-rings are in place, and the
spring-loaded latch is closed.
If necessary, remove and install the sensors correctly.
•
Check the biosensor contacts and measurement block for
salt buildup.
•
Check behind the biosensor for fluid leaks that can come
from the reference sensor.
If salt or leaks are present, clean the sensors with water, dry,
reinstall, and perform a 2-point calibration. Refer to
Performing Manual Calibrations‚ page 3-4.
•
If the problem persists, replace the sensor.
•
If the problem persists, call for technical assistance.
Corrective Action
•
Perform a full calibration.
Refer to Performing Manual Calibrations‚ page 3-4.
•
Push on the sample chamber to ensure that it is installed
correctly and is locked in place.
•
If the problem persists, replace the CO-ox sample chamber.
•
If the problem persists, call for technical assistance.
