Autocalibration  verification

:  Reference  parameters  of  the  concentration  and 

motility channels are measured again (without a testing capillary).  

 

System  noise:

  Measures  the  electronic  noise  level  of  the  system  to  insure 

effective measurement of electronic signals. The system automatically adjusts the 
noise level threshold to insure accurate readings.  

 

Electronic spikes:

 Checks for measurement points that are out of range.

SECTION IV: TROUBLESHOOTING   

The SQA-iO troubleshooting guide is focused on app access and function.   The 
SQA-iO device cannot be opened for service so it is important to follow the cleaning 
and use instructions for optimal and continued success using the device.   

Please refer to the appendix section for a TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.  

Support is available through your local distributor online.  Please contact them 
directly for questions concerning the device that are not outlined in this service 
manual.
