Luminex SD
Problems
If the empty sheath fluid container is not replaced and the system
continues to operate, the Luminex SD system eventually vents
pressure to prevent air from being introduced into the Luminex 200
analyzer. This may interrupt a sample and prevent further samples
from being collected.
Filter
If the filter attached to the sheath intake line becomes clogged from
extended use, an alarm will sound even though the bulk sheath
container is not empty. If this happens, replace the filter, part number
CN-0037-01.
The sample probe is not
properly aligned. Align the sample probe. See
page 3-2.
There is a clog in the fluid line. Clean the sample probe, then
flush the system. See page 3-5.
Delta Cal temp out of range. Verify that the delta cal
temperature is within
±
3.0
degrees. Recalibrate if outside
these limits and run the sample
again.
There is a problem with the kit. Verify that the system is
functioning properly by running
system calibration and controls.
If they pass, contact the kit
manufacturer.
Cannot calculate inverse
function This error message encompasses a range of mathematical errors
often indicating the sample result was negative or invalid. This is
according to the parameters defined by the formula used to analyze
the sample results. Standards, assay controls, and unknowns may be
flagged with Unknown Formula Failure. A standard curve is plotted
using the MFI and expected concentration value. An Unknown
Formula Failure message may occur when the system is unable to
calculate a standard concentration from the standard curve.
You are using the wrong
template. Verify that you are using the
correct template. Consult the
online help.
You are using incorrect lot
information. Verify that you have entered the
correct lot information.
There is a problem with the kit. Run system calibration and
controls. If they pass, contact
the kit manufacturer.
