Dear flowers We have a new FacsAria in our hospital, recently there were lekkage in the flow chamber area when I started running the fluidics startup, futher it happened even after I turned off the whole instrument. Because there was a kind of wet mark showing on the stream window(see attachment) , the drop-one and Gap's value was strongly affected. Acctully I had to use the hairdryer to blow towards to the chamber area to eliminate the mark. And then I started steam at once, Suprisely, it worked for several days. The BD technician said this caused by over-pressure in the wastetank, because the filter in the wastetank cap was not changed for a while. And also this could caused by wrong positioning the nozzle. Today it happened again after a instrument service. I was very confused of course, so I tried reinsert the nozzle for many times, finnally everything works normal again on stream window. So, I would ask all of you that have worked with Aria and have experiences, does this happen to you as well? <<wet mark.bmp>> Best regards Ms. Yan Zhang Flow-lab Epi-Gen Inst.
