Possible Solutions:
Probable Causes / Possible Solutions
Insufficient sweat collected for analysis or air bubbles
present in sensor cell due to sensor cell not properly
latched with locking ring or holder not adequately secured
to patient.
Cable may have become detached from sensor cell or
Nanoduct.
Damaged electrode cable assembly.
Orifice on sensor cell blocked.
Ensure sensor cell is latched with locking ring and that
holder secured with adequate tightness to the patient's
limb. Do not overtighten and impede blood circulation.
Ensure that the cable is properly connected to both sensor
cell and Nanoduct.
Inspect the electrode cable assembly for any damage.
Do not use electrodes if there is any damage to the cable
insulation or if there are exposed bare wires. Replace
electrode cable assembly.
Repeat the sweat test one time using a new sensor cell.†
