How do I know that the analyzer is working?
The analyzer is failing calibrations, what to do?
Several possible causes, please check:
- Is the main button the MD Monitor displaying the text CAL? The system is calibrating and will continue presenting data within 30 minutes.
- Has the MD Sensor expired? Replace if necessary.
- Is the perfusion fluid syringe empty? Replace if necessary.
- Is the Calibration fluid syringe empty? Replace if necessary.
- Is there a flow in the catheter? Remove the “vial holder” and check that there is a flow.
I get strange values on MD Monitor, why?
There are several possible causes, please check:
- Is the catheter properly connected to the MD Sensor?
- Is there flow in the catheter? Disconnect the catheter from MD Sensor and check that there is a flow in the “vial holder”.
- Is the perfusion syringe empty? Replace if necessary.
I can’t see any graphs on my analyzer, why?
Try to:
- Press the View button
- Change the scaling for each analyte
- Change the time scaling
I can’t see the Glucose graph for MD Monitor, why?
The Y axis scaling may be wrong. To change the scaling for a specific analyte, please change in the Settings dialog.
The analyzer has stopped working and I don’t know why
