ERROR INFORMATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING 

Error messages and possible causes  

Error message 

Cause 

Correction 

Invalid card 

A  wrong,  defective  or  expired  RFID 
card; 
A defective RFID module; 

Use a new test kit. 
 
Contact your dealer. 

Tests expired 

The  test  cartridge  has  passed  its 
expiration date.  

Use  a  cartridge  from  a  new  test  kit 
that has not expired.  

Door blocked 

The  test  cartridge  is  blocking  the 
door  because  the  cartridge  has  not 
been  inserted  completely  or  the 
cuvette  has  not  been  capped  firmly 
enough. 

Reposition  the  test  cartridge  or 
tighten the cap on the cuvette. 

Wrong  cap  |  Missing  cap  |  Missing 
cartridge 

The wrong ERS cap is being used or 
the  ERS  cap  is  missing  or  the 
cartridge  is  missing  or  an  already 
used cartridge is inserted. 

Use  the  correct  ERS  cartridge  and 
cap. 

Bolt blocked 

The  test  cartridge  blocks  the  bolt 
because the wrong ERS cap is being 
used.  

Use  the  correct  ERS  cartridge  and 
cap. 

Measurement overflow 

The  photometric  measurement  value 
lies  outside  the  measuring  range 
(e.g. a cold cartridge has been used). 

Repeat  the  test  using  a  new 
cartridge. 

Blank error 

The  photometric  measurement  value 
is  outside  the  measuring  range 
(without the cartridge). 

Repeat  the  test  after  restarting  the 
Instrument. 

Temperature error 

The  temperature  is  outside  the 
range. 

Repeat  the  test  after  restarting  the 
Instrument. 

Wrong sampletype? 
 

The  wrong  sample  type  has  possibly 
been selected. 

Select the correct sample type. 

Linearity error 

The  reaction  of  kinetic  test  is  not 
linear  (e.g.  if  a  cold  cartridge  has 
been  used,  if  wrong  sampletype  was 
set, if wrong samplevolume was used 
or  if  a  cartridge  with  integrated 
capillary was not used correctly). 

Repeat  the  test  using  a  new  sample 
and a new cartridge. 

Mix error 

Instrument fails to perform test due to 
possible hardware error. 

Please contact your local dealer. 

Coagulation error 

Coagulation can not be measured. 

Repeat  the  test  using  a  new 
cartridge. 

Sample volume error 

The  provided  sample  volume  is  not 
correct (e.g. pipetting error). 

Repeat the test using a new cartridge 
with correct sample volume. 

Cartridge temperature error 

The  cartridges’  temperature  is  too 
low for a proper test.  

Repeat  the  test  and  refer  to  the 
package  inserts  for  proper  cartridge 
use.
