1. Safety Information
Authorized service !
Carry out only the maintenance, repair and replacement measures
listed in this Operator's Manual. Improper manipulation of the device
will void the manufacturer's liability obligations and may make
service calls necessary, payment of which is not covered by
warranty.Only the authorized Customer Service may carry out
servicing. Only original replacement parts may be used. Before doing
any servicing on the instrument it is very important to thoroughly
disinfect all possibly contaminated parts
Laser Radiation
The internal barcode scanner is assigned to
laserclass 2 – EN60825-1:2007.
max. power = 1.7 mW pulse period = 420 µs wavelength = 655 nm
Cleaning and decontamination !
Before the instrument is removed from the laboratory for disposal or
servicing, it must be decontaminated and should be performed by
authorised well-trained personnel only, observing all necessary safety
precautions
Cleaning certificate required !
Instruments to be returned have to be accompanied by a
decontamination certificate completed by the responsible laboratory
manager. If a decontamination certificate is not supplied, the
returning laboratory will be responsible for charges resulting from
non-acceptance of the instrument by the servicing centre, or from
authority’s interventions.
Infectious Material
Regard all surfaces and materials which might be in contact with
plasma or other biological liquid as potentially contaminated with
infectious material. Wear medical infection grade protective gloves for
all cleaning and maintenance works involving potential contact with
infectious liquids and use each pair of gloves once only. Use a hand
disinfectant product, e.g. Sterilium®, to disinfect your hands after
completion of the work.
Contact with cleaning solution
Applied decontaminants ,disinfections are mildy irritant. Avoid any
direct contact, but in case apply water immeditately to rinse off.

7.6 QC performance selftest
Since 2019 the instrument includes a selftest, which allows to be check for accurate.
Step-1 The Coatron is very sensitive if cuvette is

Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST MOTOR and perform not exactly centered to the LED light
beams. In this case especially
FIB,DD,AT,FDP gives very poor precision.
Step-2 The two needles must be mounted at
Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST XYZ and perform 110mm height. Fine XYZ adjustment is
important to ensure correct inside and
outside washing of needle probe
Step-3 Check , that needle is washed outside with
Goto instrument SERCIVE\CLEAN NEEDLE and perform rinse solution.
Step-4 : Check for leaky valve Reboot instrument
 check for leaky valves
 check that syringe and tube fittings are
correct connected
Step-5: Perform FIB QC test  Place on-board FIB, IBS reagent + Normal
control to P01
 Goto meu ANALYSIS/NEW LIST and set
mode=”QC”
 Install paper into printer and start QC test
 C.V. < 7.5% and E > 0.030E  Everything
is fine
QC-Results:
- Failed if C.V. > 7.5%
Higher results indicate false alignment
of cuvette, imprecise volumes (needle,
syringe, pump), carryover (needle, wash
position)
- Failed if Mean of “E” < 0.030E

Results below indicate false alignment of
cuvette or problem with normal control or FIB
reagent

8. Typical malefunctions
8.1 Malfunction Coatron A4: Defect Cooling Function:
Error description
Temperature on reagent block is close to environmental condition or more than 20°C.
General
The cooling function can’t be adjusted. It is always switched on with maximum power. The
power of cooling is around 8°C (+-2°C) below environmental conditions .
At room temperature 20°C it cools down to 12°C

The cooling element heats up the inner parts of instruments, which is contra productive to
the cooling function. So after 2h of operation the
After switch on of device and at room temperature 24°C it cools down to 14°C
After 1h operation of device and at room temperature 24°C it cools down to 16°C
After more than 2h operation of device and at room temperature 24°C it cools down to
18°C
Corrective Actions:
(1) Check peltier element

Check cool temperature with finger 5-10min after first switch on in the morning.
If you can feel cold temperature, then cooling element is working.
If not, then Peltier element CAT = 21 916 00 ( 52,50 USD) must be replaced. The
procedure is extremely complicated and should be done only by TECO. It included nearly the
complete disassembling of instruments. A detailed description of service procedure would
fill pages. These are just the main steps
a. Remove all casing parts. You must lift instrument main frame out of button case.
b. Remove complete optic and reagent block unit
c. Pull the label foil from reagent block
d. Now disassemble the reagent block unit and remove the defect peltier element.
e. Insert new peltier element. Use heat sink paste to ensure good thermo-contact.
f. Assemble reagent block completely
g. Before continue of further assembling it is recommend to test the cool function.
For this power the peltier element with external volt generator with 15V 3A.
(2) Check air fan

The two air fans of power supply are used the blow heat out of instrument. It is essential for
good and stable cooling power. Check of both fans are working and remove any dust

The air fan is produced by EPM PAPST TYPE 412. TECO doesn’t support the air fans as spare
parts, but just with the complete power supply. But maybe you can organize yourself the air
fan.
(3) Clean air fan regular

It is recommend to remove all dust from air fan every 6month especially in dusty
environments.
(4) Install and operate instrument in laboratory with conditioned air ( 20-24°C).
8.2 Malfunction ERROR 1-4: Cuvette detection:
Error description
Cuvette does not stop at correct position.
Error can happen

If cuvette motor does not stop at correct position
1. Cuvette not correct adjusted

2. optic, shifter, microswitch or motor does not work properly (replace shifter with new version
Jan-2018)
3. no cuvette is inside
4. Optic-1 channel defect
If cuvette motor stops at wrong position and needle crash into table
1. Flag of microswitch does not release
2. gear motor is defective ( wrong decoder signals)
Check:
1. Goto service menu “CHECK OPTIC” and read value “CV-STATUS”:
a. Move a cuvette into the reading position. -> CV.-Status must switch to “1”
b. Remove a cuvette from reading position. -> CV.-Status must switch to “0”
c. Check Optic-1 value. High should be ~30000 digits and AMP < 300
Corrective Actions:
1. Remove shifter and press flag several times complete in and out
2. Mount shifter, but bend flag a little but to ensure better release of flag
3. shifter must move easily -> remove and clean
4. shifter must be adjusted with screw, so that the microswitch closed circuit only during cuvette.
5. microswitch does not close circuit at all -> exchange switcher , adjust shifter
6. Optic does not work -> Clean or exchange optic
7. Cuvette rotor does not or move slowly-> increase gear torque be turning gear-plate clockwise

Since 2018
Problem:
Cuvette don’t stop at correct position.
Reason:
Microswitch don’t change state
correctly. The shifter trigger to less
signal (move)
Solution:
The shifter is redesigned to allow
more move (signal).
Service Call:
Must be installed on all instruments
5000 latest with next service
Should be installed on all instruments

1800/3000 in case of problems

Service Instructions:
Adjust Microswitch
Remove all cuvettes and also the plate. Now you can see the cuvette microswitch and the shifter. Remove
the shifter and clean the complete area and then rebuild it. Afterwards the shifter must move easily. The
flag of the microswitch should be straight. Use a Voltmeter and check if microswitch do close electrically .
Then goto service menu “CHECK OPTIC” optics, insert one cuvette and read CV.-STATUS. Back of the shifter
you see a small screw, which can adjust the homeposition. The CV-Status should “1” at cuvette center +-
5mm and “0” if cuvette is out of center !
Check-In and Check-Out position can be adjusted by bending the flag of microswitch. In default (like on all
new instruments), the flag is straight.
Adjust Gear Torque

Remove all cuvettes and also the plate. Now you can see the gear. Turn manually the axis. The torque must
be so strong, that you nearly can not turn the axis. You can increase the torque by turning the gear
clockwise. For this use two small screwdrivers and place them into the small holes and then turn the gear.

8.3 Malfunction Coatron A6Plus: Blocking cuvettes
Error description
After measurement the used cuvette is blocking at output position and is not wasted into
container. Afterwards the cuvette must be removed manually to continue system operation.
Corrective Actions:
Installation of new part CAT = 21 023 05 Cuvette output rail
Related systems
Since Jun-2017 the part is installed on all new Coatron A devices
Service action
Coatron A6plus and 5000 with serialnumber xxxx-xxxx-7049 or below must
upgrade

8.4 Malfunction: Defect optic
Description
Receiverboard is damaged by contamination with rinse solution. This can happen, if waste tank
is completely full. In this case, drops if rinse solution will splash to the surface to the optic
boards.
Precaution Actions ( Service Action):
Splash Guard: Does avoid splashes

Optic Protector: Does protect optic from splashed
Both actions are applied on new instruments Coatron A4/A6 since Dec-2012. For older
instrument at least the installation of splash guard is highly recommended.
How to install splash Guard:

First remove the wash position. Open cuvette waste drawer and remove it. Now you can go with
your hand below the washing position and push it out of the system. Now place the splash guard
directly under the wash position and press the adhesive side to the systemblock. Reinstall wash
position and close drawer.
How to install optic protector:

This must be done by authorized service engineer and requires removal of optics.
Corrective Actions:
Damaged receiverboard must be replaced.

8.5 Malfunction: Poor precision of results
Error description:
Instrument gives prolonged or imprecise clotting time. Replicates are 20% and more in
difference to first run.
Major sources
- Run FIB and repeat a normal control 8x. The FIB test is excellent to check the quality of
instrument.
- Cross-Check also versus other tests (PT, aPTT) and/or other instruments
- PT reagent sediment and must be permanent stirred with magnetic stir bar in the vial
- The cuvette motor adjustment has crucial impact to the performance.
- XYZ adjustment + Wash position is crucial to avoid carryover.
- Run worklist with TECAM “ECO” mode. If performance improve, then this indicates
expired needle, syringe or valve
- Upgrading the firmware may helpful especially for imprecise results or carryover
- Remove cuvette from optic after use and check visually for correct volumes and air
bubble
Recommended service actions:

Step-1 -The new firmware has significant improvements
Install recent firmware 1.03.06a(52) or later regarding precision, accuracy and optical
interferences.
You can download from -It is more tolerant to poor service like old needle,
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AoYVax1r2TZdZ5rkjiVSoyHundQ valve,
-Additionally the consumption of rinse to reduced
In case of software upgrade, we recommend also to significantly.
upgrade clean position (REF 21 034 50 , see last page) -The most important point is , that lifetime of valve
is increased from 80.000 to 150.000 determinations
by changing procedure of sample washing.
Step-2 The Coatron A6+/5000 is very sensitive if cuvette is
Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST MOTOR and perform not exactly centered to the LED light beams. In this
case especially FIB,DD,AT,FDP gives very poor
precision.
Step-3 The two needles must be mounted at 110mm
Goto instrument SERCIVE\ADJUST XYZ and perform height. Fine XYZ adjustment is important to ensure
correct inside and outside washing of needle probe

Step-4 : Check for leaky valve During boot-up the instruments performs
a complete wash cycle. Watch carefully
 The valve or tubing is leaky in case of

airbubbles like on the picture
 Check that syringe-screw is connected
 Check that tube fittings are connected
 Check that needle is washed inside
and outside with rinse solution.
Step-5: Perform FIB QC test  Place on-board FIB, IBS reagent + Normal
control to P01
 Goto meu ANALYSIS/NEW LIST and set
mode=”QC”
 Install paper into printer and start QC test
 C.V. < 7.5% and E > 0.030E  Everything
is fine
QC-Results:
- Failed if C.V. > 7.5%
Higher results indicate false alignment
of cuvette, imprecise volumes (needle,
syringe, pump), carryover (needle, wash
position)
- Failed if Mean of “E” < 0.030E
