Missing Vial or Missing Wash Vial

No vial was found in the position defined in the method or sequence.
When the needle carrier moves to a vial and the needle goes into the vial, the
position of the needle is monitored by an encoder behind the vial pusher. If no
vial is present, the encoder detects an error and the message "missing vial" is
generated.
Probable Causes
• No vial in the position defined in the method or sequence.
• Defective needle carrier assembly.
• Defective transport assembly flex board.
• Defective MTP board.
Suggested Actions
