9-4 Troubleshooting
9.1.1.3 X Warning Flags
X warning flags can indicate severe salt or blood build-up, or possible leaks in the Lyse 2 and/or Dilu-
ent reagent tubing. If an X flag appears, do the following:
1. Visually inspect the Wash Head and the dilution chamber below for salt or blood debris. For
best access, view from below. See “Cleaning the Wash Head” on page 6-4 . If debris is found,
follow the directions for cleaning the Wash Head. Rerun the blank.
2. If the X flag persists, perform an Soak Cleaning: see “Soak Cleaning” on page 6-6 , then
rerun the blank.
3. If the issue has not been resolved, perform “Deep Cleaning” on page 9-18 , then rerun the
blank.
4. If the blank is still high for EOS, perform “Removing and Cleaning the Wash Head” on
page 9-15 . Remove blood debris from the dilution chamber while the Wash Head is pulled to
the right during the cleaning process. Rerun the blank.
5. For continued X flags, check the Lyse 2 (orange) and Diluent (green) reagent tubing for bub-
bles or leaks. If either are found, attach the tubing more firmly to the analyzer, dip head or
bottle cap. If the attachment is loose, cut 3-5 mm off the end of the tube and reattach. Then
prime: Maintenance > Reagent Status > Prime and select Lyse 2 and/or Diluent.
6. If the flag persists, Remove the Lyse 2 (orange) and Diluent (green) reagent tubes from the
back of the analyzer and hold them up so all of the fluids drain back into the bottles. Reattach
the reagent tubes and prime them once: from the Home screen, select
Maintenance >
Reagent Status > Prime for Lyse 2 and/or Diluent. Run the blank.
7. If the EOS value is still high, open the analyzer’s back door,
and examine the black syringe for any signs of salt residue on
or near it. If salt or leaking fluid is present, contact Abaxis
Technical Support.
8. If the X flag persists, contact Abaxis Technical Support.
