Re: problems with time delay calibration on FACS Calibur

After 18 months of use, I had trouble a while back. The BD engineer had to
come out a couple of times, tried adjustments to the laser alignment but
that didn't do it. Changed pressure inducer.  A month later it went out
again, this time we fixed it over the phone by changing the sheath filter.
They told me time delay is usually a pressure problem.

Good luck,
