Explanation
42, 43 Cartridge Error
/ Use
Another Cartridge
These codes indicate that the conductometric sensor (code 42)
or the amperometric sensor (code 43) was out of specification.
This could be caused by a pre-burst calibrant pack, dirty
cartridge contact pads, or a dirty connector in the analyzer.
79-81
Cartridge Error / Use
Another Cartridge
Bad contact between the thermal probes in the analyzer and
the metalization on the back of the chips in the cartridge trigger
these codes. Causes are: poor metalization of the chips, dirt
on the metalization, or bent or broken thermal probes in the
analyzer.
21 Cartridge Preburst / Use
Another Cartridge
This code indicates that the analyzer detected fluid on the
sensors before it should have. Possible causes: mishandling
of cartridges (putting pressure in the center of the cartridge),
poor storage conditions of cartridges (frozen), or rerunning used
cartridges.
31, 34, 44 Unable to Position
Sample
/ Use Another
Cartridge
The analyzer did not detect movement of sample across the
sensors. This could be due to a clot in the sample (especially in
neonates), to not closing the snap closure on the cartridge, or
to an aberrant cartridge.
35, 36 Sample Positioned
Short of Fill Mark
/ Use
Another Cartridge
The cartridge was underfilled. The sample must reach the fill
mark. Try another cartridge.
30, 37 Sample Positioned
Beyond Fill Mark
/ Use
Another Cartridge
The cartridge was overfilled. The sample was past the fill mark.
Try another cartridge.
38, 39 Insufficient Sample
/
Use Another Cartridge
This is most likely due to insufficient sample in the sample
well of the cartridge, but can also be caused by bubbles in the
sample. Try another cartridge and ensure sufficient sample is in
the sample well.
46 Cartridge Error / Use
Another Cartridge
The analyzer did not detect movement of sample across the
sensors. This could be due to a clot in the sample (especially in
neonates), to not closing the snap closure on the cartridge, or
to an aberrant cartridge.
47 Cartridge Not Inserted
Properly
/ Reinsert
Cartridge
This code indicates the cartridge or Electronic Simulator
may not be pushed in all the way. Reinsert the cartridge or
Electronic Simulator. If the problem persists and/or the user
is certain the cartridge or Simulator is properly inserted, it
may indicate an analyzer problem. Contact i-STAT Technical
Services or your local support organization for further
assistance.
48 Analyzer Error / See
Manual
This code indicates the cartridge or Electronic Simulator may
have been “cocked” when inserted. Push the cartridge or
Simulator straight through the cartridge port. If the problem
persists, and the user is certain the cartridge or Simulator is
properly inserted, it may indicate an analyzer problem. Contact
i-STAT Technical Services or your local support organization for
further assistance.
