We always encounter various problems when using biochemical analyzers, such as messy electrolyte results, etc. What should we do when we encounter such situations?. The editor suggests that when encountering such problems, you can first clean the pipeline, replace the electrode, and calibrate it. What should I do if I find that the instrument has not completed the calibration action and is not taking the calibration solution after completing this step? Please see below.
In this case, it is possible that there is a malfunction in the pipeline, so please check if the pipeline connection is in place. The pipeline is actually not complicated, and the connection is also very simple. After careful inspection, there are no places where the connection is not in place. (After ensuring that it is not a malfunction of the pipeline, continue to follow the steps below) Perform the MID liquid flushing action and observe that no MID liquid is sucked into the pipeline. Removing tubes 1 and 2, the syringe was able to smoothly extract MID liquid from tube 2 (connected to the MID bottle), but when injecting liquid into tube 1, it was unable to do so due to significant resistance and blockage. Upon careful examination, it was found that there were obvious crystalline/flocculent blockages in the part of tube 1 hidden inside the instrument, and the fine threads were repeatedly punctured. Zylvzq was then injected with a syringe and found to be unobstructed. Remove the "bowl" connected to tube 1 and clean the internal organs of the "bowl" thoroughly. Place another container at the end of tube 1 and rinse it repeatedly several times. Connect and calibrate.
If the fault still cannot be resolved after completing the appeal steps, it is recommended to observe whether there are bubbles in the section of tube 6 that comes out of the electrode part. If there are bubbles, it is not possible. If there are bubbles, please perform MID flushing several times to completely eliminate the bubbles and calibrate.
If the problem still cannot be solved after completing this step, replace the replaced electrodes again, check that the washers of each electrode are intact, and perform MID flushing calibration several times before calibration. At this point, the problem can generally be solved well, and you will find that indicators such as the slope of the fully automatic biochemical analyzer are even better than before.
