11.11.3 - One air bubble about 5 mm under meniscus
The filling (aspiration) speed is not critical but should be within certain limits.
1. If just one air bubble is found about 5mm below the meniscus, the filling speed
may be too high.
2. The blood column should not exceed the Fill stop sensor by more than 10mm.
One air bubble can result in ESR Error 3.
11.11.4 - One air bubble rising in pipette
1. Usually this is caused by a wet or dirty fill nozzle.
▪ The blood column should not reach right to the base of the pipette. There
must be a clear air gap of 4...5mm at the bottom of each pipette.
2. Insufficient sample volume.
▪ Need more blood in the sample tube.
One air bubble rising can result in ESR Error code 3.
