4
Refer to Section 5.5 Steps 5 - 10 for remainder of analysis sequence.
Important
Do not analyze a whole blood sample in the pre-dilute mode, this will cause
erroneous results. If this happens following the instructions below, as soon as
possible, to return analyzer to normal operation status:
1. Use dispense mode to dispense diluent into waste beaker until diluent has
no traces of blood left. Then dispense two more times and discard waste.
2. Next, dispense clean diluent into beaker and run diluent in pre-dilute mode.
3. Check background results. If results pass, instrument is now ready to use. If
results do not pass, repeat step 2 until background results pass.
