Siemens - Viva E
Siemens Viva E Forums
Some of our urine samples have visible residue left on the container and are very opague. Just before beginning work at this organization, the Viva-E was turned completely off for approximately one month.
Approximately two weeks after beginning this new position, the 6 month old instrument cooling unit failed and began to leak coolant. It was ultimately replaced.
Now there appears to be some bubbling and back flushing occuring with the wash station for the sample needle. I spoke with the technical support reps with Siemans and expect a visit in a few days.
Is it normal protocol to centrifuge or filter samples prior to urine analysis?? Can occasional particulates lead to problems with the Viva-E.Please respond to my email.....francine.hanley@yahoo.com
