The customer contacted the siemens technical support center (tsc) to report the discordant carbon dioxide (co2) results. The customer ran quality control (qc), which was low. The customer tried to align server 2 probes. The customer found that the reagent probe 4 (r4) was failing alignment. The tsc asked the customer to inspect the r4 and, the probe was straight. The customer reseated the probe, cleaned the bearing rails and found the r4 still failing. A siemens customer service engineer (cse) was dispatched to the customer's site. The cse aligned the r4 arm repeatedly but it failed at baseplate. The cse replaced vertical and horizontal belts and horizontal motor, aligned r4 again, which passed. The cse brought analyzer back up and ran server 2 service methods (svmts). The cse found that the sample probe 2 (s2) mixer is not mixing. The cse disabled server 2 and moved co2 to server 3. The cse replaced s2 mixer. The cse ran svmts, mixer diagnostic test, check1 and quality control (qc), which passed. A siemens headquarter support center (hsc) specialist evaluated the data related to the event. Hsc concludes the cause of the issue is due to a failing sample mixer for server 2 that was resolved with replacement of the sample mixer on server 2. The cause of the discordant carbon dioxide results is due to failing sample mixer. The instrument is performing according to the specifications. No further evaluation of this device is required.
