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 100
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, contact Luminex Technical
Support for a replacement filter.
Malfunction
If the alarm sounds even though the bulk sheath container has fluid
and the sheath filter is in good condition, the system is reporting a
malfunction. If this happens, contact Luminex Technical Support.
Draining the Reservoir
If you need to ship the Luminex SD system back to Luminex
Corporation, drain the reservoir before you pack the system. Call
Technical Support for additional information.
Cannot calculate inverse
function This error message encompasses a range of mathematical errors
often indicating that 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 all 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.
