MC Reagent Level Low

Chem Name:

CAU:

Reagent too low

Message ID:

0x04B30011

Subsystem:

Chem Name:

This error occurs when the MC sample
probe does not sense reagent at the
proper level or at all during the sample
dispense into the cup module.

•

Check Reagent bottle volume.

•

Check Reagent tubing to straw connection is
tight.

•

Make sure the straw is properly seated in the
cap and reaches to the bottom of the reagent
bottle.

•

Enable module and perform reagent/water
primes to make sure the cup is filling and
draining properly. Refer to

Enable Modules

•

Remove cover and check for leaks or presence
of fluid at the base of the cup assembly and/or
at the electrode/detector port.

•

Contact Beckman Coulter Support Center for
additional information.

CAU:

MC Sample Probe

disabled due to obstruction
errors

Message ID:

0x04B30013

More than 3 samples in a row had
obstruction errors (clots), MC side

Stopped

•

Prime MC internal probe wash to make sure it is
not obstructed. Refer to

Priming MC Subsystems

(select Sample Delivery Subsystem.)

•

Probe may need to be replaced. Refer to

Replace the Sample and Reagent Probe

•

If error continues, perform MC ODC Calibration
(Alignment).

•

Home the system.

•

Load No Foam Reagent. Refer to

Load/Unload
