Probable Cause and Corrective Action
A change in transmittance was detected by the optical clarity test
that occurs during the wash after a CO-ox sample analysis. The
system repeated the wash to attempt to correct the error. If the
repeated wash fails the clarity test again, the system displays a
D70 Optical Error: 2 message. Refer to the solutions for a D70
Optical Error on page 205.
Service Solutions
Refer to service solutions for D70 Optical Error: 2.
The Rapidlink data management system or the LIS connected to
the Rapidpoint 400 series system has turned analysis functions
off for the Rapidpoint 400 series system. You can perform other
tasks, such as recalling results, replacing cartridges, and
accessing the Setup options. Contact your system supervisor for
assistance if you need to analyze samples. The Analysis Turned
Off message appears in the events log.
The system cannot analyze the current patient or QC sample
because it detects bubbles in the sample. This can occur if the
sample contained bubbles when you introduced it into the
sample port or if an obstruction is present. The Bubbles in
Sample message appears in the events log.
Introducing the jagged end of capillary tubes into the sample port
can also cause this problem. The sharp edges of capillary tubes
can damage the sample port, affecting sample aspiration.
1. Touch to remove the message, then replace the
Continue
sample port when prompted. Refer to Replacing the Sample
Port in Replacing Components.
2. If prompted, replace the cartridges as described in Replacing
the Measurement and Wash/Waste Cartridges in Section 3 in
the Rapidpoint 400 Series Operator's Manual.
3. To avoid bubbles in patient samples, ensure that you use the
recommended collection, storage, handling, and mixing
techniques as described in Section 1, Collecting Patient
Samples in the Rapidpoint 400 Series Operator's Manual.
For QC samples, ensure that you use the storage and handling
techniques recommended by the manufacturer.
