UF-5000 TROUBLESHOOTING
Rinsing or Replacing Sample Filter
If the sample filter becomes clogged or dirty due to the accumulation of large amounts of debris after running
samples with high cellular or mucus content, various error messages may appear even though there is sufficient
sample in the tube. One of the suggested actions in the error message may be to rinse or replace the sample filter.
For a list of errors, refer to the UF-5000 Troubleshooting Manual.
1. Visually check the sample tube that caused the error to confirm adequate sample volume. Remove that sample from
the rack, and touch [Error Recovery].
2. Wait until the analyzer is in the Ready state. The following instrument status message(s) will display: 'Sampler
Ready,' 'Sampler Int. Ready' or 'STAT Ready.' Remove all sample racks from the CV-11.
3. Touch the [Maintenance] icon on the Main Menu screen.
4. Next, touch the [Sample filter] icon and a 'Rinse or replace Sample Filter' dialog box appears.
5. Touch [Execute]. The sample filter area begins to move forward into easy access for the operator.
6. Once the filter is in this position, the analyzer will automatically shut down.
Note: CV-11 will alarm when analysis powers off. Press [Alarm Reset] to silence. Conveyor status will be red.
7. Power off the CV-11 sampler using the main power switch on the front of the sampler. Wait 1 minute for pressures to
adjust.
8. Open the upper and lower front covers.
9. Remove the sample filter case from the clip holding it in the instrument.
Filter
10. Unscrew the bottom then the top tube adapter, taking care not to dislodge the tubing
connected to each.
11. Using Laboratory DI water in a squeeze bottle or syringe, rinse the interior of
the filter to dislodge any debris or clogs. Wipe the outer casing dry with a lint-free cloth.
12. Return the sample filter case to its original position in the analyzer by reattaching it to the tube adapters, making
sure the black o-ring is at the top. Reattach the top tube adapter first, then the bottom. Close the front covers.
13. Snap the filter back into the clip, verify tubing is secure and close the front bottom cover.
14. Press the CV-11 Start-up switch and log back on to the instrument when the 'Logon' dialog box appears.
15. Perform QC to verify accuracy of aspiration, absence of leaks and general system performance.
16. If there is an issue with QC results or analyzer function, return to step 2 to repeat the procedure, checking
placement of filter and tube adaptor placement.
17. If error persists, repeat the procedure and REPLACE the filter instead of rinsing it.
18. If difficulties persist, contact your Sysmex Technical Assistance Center for assistance.
19. Once complete, place racks still needing to be processed back on the CV-11.
