– Important information! – Always follow it! –
This Service Manual contains vital warning and safety information.
This instrument is only intended for one area of application which is described in the instructions. The most
important prerequisites for use, operation, and safety are explained to ensure smooth operation. No warranty
or liability claims will be covered if the instrument is used in ways other than those described or if the neces-
sary prerequisites and safety measures are not observed.
The instrument may be operated only by persons whose qualifications enable them to comply with the safety
measures that are necessary during operation of the instrument.
To avoid direct contact with biological materials, wear lab clothing, protective gloves, protec-
tive glasses and, if necessary, mouth cover and apply disinfection and sterilization procedures.
Adjustments and maintenance performed with removed covers and connected power may be attempted only
by a qualified technician who is aware of the associated dangers.
Instrument repairs are only to be performed by the manufacturer or qualified service personnel.
Only accessories and supplies either delivered by or approved by Roche are to be used with the instrument.
This ensures the performance and measuring accuracy of the unit. These items are manufactured especially
for use with this instrument and meet the highest quality requirements.
Operation of the instrument with solutions whose composition is not consistent with that of the original
solutions' can negatively affect, above all, the long-term measurement accuracy. Deviations in the composi-
tion of the solutions can also decrease the service life of the electrodes.
The quality control requirements must be completed at least once daily for safety reasons. Because the mea-
surement results delivered by the instrument depend not only on the instrument's proper operation but also
on a variety of external influences (for example: preanalytics), the results produced by this instrument should
be appraised by an expert before additional measures are taken based on the results.
Explanation:
Meaning: "Important, see Instructions for Use."
– Important information! – Always follow it! –

1.2 Important notes and warnings
• Never operate the analyzer in the vicinity of volatile or explosive gases

(e.g. anesthetic gases, etc.)!
• The device must be connected to a 2-pin, grounded socket.
• The power cable and the plug must be undamaged. Damaged power cables and
plugs must be replaced immediately.
• Before opening the back panel switch off the device and disconnect the power
cable.
• Replace damaged fuses with the specified type of fuse.
• Service and repair work must be done only as specified in this manual. Unqual-
ified service or repair work may result in warranty claims not being granted.
• Use only suitable tools and test instruments for service and repair work.
• Do not allow fluids to enter the interior of the device, because this may damage
the electronics.
• Use only slightly moistened cloths or cotton sticks to clean the device.
1.3 Disinfectant
Use only liquid disinfectant such as protein remover (Roche deproteinizer) or an

alcohol-based (about 70%) surface disinfectant.
Do not spray disinfectant directly onto the instrument because this could cause
malfunctions in the electronics.
Do not use any type of bleaching agent. Exception: Roche Deproteinizer.
Do not attempt to clean/decontaminate any part of the instrument before shutting

it down and unplugging it from the power source.
Before plugging in the device again and switching it on always wait for 15 minutes

1 Introduction
1.5 ES D protective measures
ESD = Electrostatic Sensitive Device
1.5.1 Explanation of the phenomenon

The most frequent cause of electrostatic discharge is friction of various materials such as
plastic, synthetic fiber, hard rubber or paper.
It can also be caused by bending or applying pressure to a material.
Discharges that are dangerous to components occur when "charged" bodies or components
do not have a discharge connection (ground) to discharge the electrostatic charge.
The discharges normally do not have a high capacity, but there are often voltage differences
in the range of several thousand volts. The discharges are perceived as small shocks or visible
sparks.
Examples:
• Shoes with rubber soles:
Friction is caused by walking. A person develops an electrical charge different from the
ground. A discharge occurs when an object (e.g. door handle) is contacted.
• Synthetic fiber clothing:
Discharge is audible and is visible in darkness.
The dryer the air the greater the risk of electrical discharge caused by friction.
Electrostatic charges are less likely to build up in humid air, particularly when
saturated with water vapor.
The probability of ESD phenomena is therefore particularly great in a northern
hemisphere winter in centrally heated rooms where the humidity is low.
1.5.2 Influence of electrostatic charges on components

If a person with an electrostatic charge touches a component, a discharge over a connection
of an IC or semiconductor element may occur. The resulting voltages may damage the com-
ponent.
Critical situations can occur while repairing or testing components if they are lying on a
more or less conductive surface (e.g. table top) and a person with an electrostatic charge
touches them. A discharge through a critical component connection can also occur in this
case.

1 Introduction
1.5.3 Why is ES D protection so important today?

Formerly, current controlling semiconductors were mostly used (TTL, normal transistors,
etc.).
Today the principle of current logic is virtually the only technology in use in MOS and
CMOS components.
Currents generated by an electrostatic discharge (as much as several kV!) destroy the sensi-
tive component inputs or cause hidden damage. This damage is generally not immediately
detectable.
Another effect is that the clearances inside the ICs continuously become smaller. The inter-
nal wires become thinner and thinner, the allowable maximum input voltages become small-
er and the effects of any discharges become more and more critical.
1.5.4 How can ES D protection be guaranteed

A continuous discharge is required when working on an electronic assembly. Do this as fol-
lows:
• Use ESD wrist bands (special wrist bands connected to a protective ground).
• Repairs and tests on assemblies must only be conducted on tables with ESD mats 1 con-
nected to grounds or ESD wrist bands.
• Always pick up components at the edge (e.g. like a photo).
• Components must always be transported in ESD packages 1 or appropriate storage or
shipping containers 1 (use original packaging!).
• Shoes with rubber soles and/or clothing of synthetic fibers must not be worn in work-
shops where electronic components are repaired.
• Use a humidifier if necessary to maintain optimum humidity in the work area.
• Do not touch assemblies or components with the hand after testing.
• Always transport and ship assemblies or components for repair in ESD protective pack-
aging only. This will prevent further damage that may result in misinterpretation of the
original cause of the fault.
1.5.5 Conclusion
Of course, not all circuit boards and electronic assemblies require such careful handling. An
electrical board that only carries simple plug connectors does not require ESD packaging.
In cases of doubt always use ESD packaging.
1. The ESD mat consists of materials that have a very low, defined conductivity (1012 ohms). These materials prevent
charges caused by friction from building up and protect the component from damage.

3 Roche OM N I S – Components
3.1 Important notes
Various components of the OMNI S, such as T&D module, tubes, waste container,
waste separator etc., contain liquid biological residues after use that may cause
infection.
Handle these components with care and avoid contact with skin. Always wear
gloves when working with the device!
The tubes may drip a little after being disconnected. Remove excess fluids with a
clean, absorbent cloth.
After components have been replaced the previous calibration parameters may have
changed and it may be necessary to input new values.
For this reason after modifications the system must be calibrated and then QC mea-
surements must be conducted to adapt the calibration parameters to the new con-
ditions.
Always use screwdrivers of suitable size.
3.2 Shutdown
Unless otherwise specified, always switch off the OMNI S before you start
modifying it!
3.2.1 The OM N I S remains switched off for more than 24 hours

Press [Analyzer] > [System] > [Utilities] > [Put out of operation]
and follow the instructions on the screen.
Use only deproteinizers to decontaminate the tubing paths!
3.3 Removing the rear panel

1. Switch off the OMNI S (note section 3.2 "Shutdown" on page 3-1).
2. Unscrew the screw holding the power supply in place and pull the power supply towards
the back.
3. Remove device cover and printer cover.
4. Unscrew the five rear-panel screws and remove the rear panel.

3.20.7 Software update
Software update with floppy disks
For the software update with floppy disks, the four system disks OMNI S are necessary.
1. Choose [Analyzer] > [System] > [Utilities] > [Shutdown PC].
2. Turn of the instrument after shutting down and wait at least 3 minutes.
3. Insert disk no. 1 in the disk drive and switch on the instrument.
4. The software update will be started. Follow the instructions on the screen−insert the
next floppy disk when needed and touch the screen.
5. Remove floppy disk 4 after the update was finished. The Roche OMNI S automatically
warms up, performs a calibration and is ready again.
Software update with FTP
The software update needs a FTP server software that can be purchased separately
in specialized trade. For this software, Roche cannot grant any support.
Apply the network settings on the computer: On Roche CODEX COE 3.1-PCs, they are
located in the Start Menu, (Settings >) Control Panel > Network Connections:
1. Select the network connection that will be used for connecting the computer and the
OMNI S.
2. Select Properties in the context menu (right-click with the mouse).
3. In the network protocol area, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click to "Proper-
ties".
Tip: Note the current settings to restore them after the software update.
4. Enter the following settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.100 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
No further settings are required.
5. Install the FTP server software on the computer (standard PC oder Laptop with ether-
net network connection) according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
Apply the network settings on the OMNI S:
6. Select [Settings] > [Interfaces] > [Network].
7. Enter the following settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.101 Net mask: 255.255.255.0
No further settings are required.
Press the "Back" button to save this settings.
Connect the computer and the OMNI S:
8. Connect the computer and the OMNI S using a crossover RJ45 network cable (available
in specialized trade).
Tip: Direct network connections between PC and OMNI S are only possible by using a
crossover network cable.

Tip: Verify proper connection using the command PING on the computer.
Therefore, select Start - Run and enter CMD (or COMMAND).
Enter PING 192.168.0.101 in the command prompt-a proper connection will respond
with "Reply from 192.168.0.101 ...". When "Request timed out." is shown, inspect the
network settings and the cabling.
9. Run the FTP server software on the computer.
The software update package must be placed into the FTP folder (root folder of the
server) or a subfolder.
Tip: Details on the settings of the FTP server can be found in the documentation of the
manufacturer.
Start the software-upgrade on the OMNI S:
10. Select [Analyzer] > [System] > [Utilities] > [Communication] > [SW-Upgrade].
11. Apply the settings according to the settings of the computer:
Server: 192.168.0.100 User: anonymous
Path: / Password: update
When using the anonymous access, the serial number of the OMNI S will be automati-
cally used as password. Possibly the anonymous access of the FTP server is deactivated
and protected with user name and password. When the software package is not in the
root folder of the ftp server, the path has to be adjusted accordingly.
12. Press [Upgrade]. The software-upgrade will be started.
13. After successful completion of the software-upgrade, a message will be shown. Restart
the PC-software by pressing [Yes] in order to activate the new software version.
If the software-upgrade does not complete, the status messages can give conclusion on the
error source. Under normal conditions, "Connected to 192.168.0.100" is shown in the first
line. This indicates a proper connection to the FTP server. However if "Not connected"
appears, verify the network connection and settings. "550 File does not exits." indicates that
the installation package is in another path or not present on the server.
Update of video sequences
The update of the video sequences is available for Screen/PC-units "new" version
3.x or later for instruments with a serial number > 1500 or higher!
The playback of the videos is possible with software version 4.00 or later only!
Never perform the update of video sequences together with a software update!
The software update package has to be removed from the FTP server or moved to a
different FTP folder.
An update of video sequences is similar to a software update with FTP, the playback of the
videos is possible with software version 4.00 or later. This requires the "Roche OMNI S
Video Update CD".
1. Perform a software update if necessary and restart the OMNI S.
2. Prepare the PC and the Roche OMNI S same as for the software update with FTP until
step 9 (see section "Software update with FTP" on page 3-73).
3. Instead of the software update package, copy the video sequences update package from
the Video Update CD into a new subfolder (e.g. "/video") or into an empty FTP folder.

4. Continue with step 10 of the software update with FTP. As the path for the installation,
select the new folder (e.g. "/video") on the OMNI S.
Due to the amount of data, the update may need several time to finish, depending on the
transfer rate.

5 Fluid actions
When the sample is detected by SS2 the sample distribution is started. The sequence of the
individual aspiration phases depends on the existing or requested modules.
Separating BG:
The start of the sample is aspirated from SS2 to SS1. The volume SS2-SS1 is specified for
filling the BG measuring chamber.
Separating tHb/SO 2 or COOX:
One sample segment is aspirated from SS2 to SS3. The volume SS2-SS3 is specified for
filling the tHb/SO 2 or COOX module.The user can specify in the setup whether
tHb/SO 2 / COOX or ISE is separated first.
Positioning BG and separating ISE:
This aspiration process assumes that the sample column tip is at SS1. It is aspirated via VBI
and VBO with the main pump. The start of the sample movement is detected by the conduc-
tivity (breaking of the calibration solution column in the measuring chamber). If this does
not occur at the right time, an aspiration error is displayed. The positioning of the sample
is controlled by the MCI-MCO contact path. If a timeout occurs because an excessively low
signal or a non-reproducible conductivity signal, an aspiration error is displayed. During
the aspiration the sample is "observed" with SS1; if the volume of the sample is too small,
this interferes with the aspiration process.
After closing the VBI the ratio of the conductivities of MCI-MCO to MCI-MCC is checked.
If there are air bubbles in the MCI-MCO area, this can result is the aspiration process
restarting and the VBI opening again. When the corresponding conductivity level is
reached, the positioning of the sample is complete.
During the BG positioning ISE is separated between SS2 and SS1.
Positioning ISE:
This aspiration process is similar to positioning BG. If an ISE measurement is not required,
the remainder of the sample is aspirated to VII through the sample distributor to establish
the required initial state for a subsequent MSS positioning.
Separating MSS and washing rail:
A sample segment is aspirated to the SS4.
Positioning MSS:
The sample is aspirated by turning the MSS output pump and opening the VSI. The tearing
of the standby solution and the start of the sample is detected by the conductivity at the MSS
input. Then it must also be possible to detect the tearing of the standby solution and the
sample start, at which the MSS output pump is stopped. The completed sample positioning
is checked again for freedom from bubbles via the conductivity distances.
Positioning tHb/SO 2 or COOX:
The sample segment for measurement of tHb/SO 2 or COOX is positioned last. The valves
V2, V4, V17 and V16 are opened and aspirated with the main pump. The sample is still
hemolyzed in the event of a COOX measurement.

5 Fluid actions
The MSS is positioned in four subsections:

Preconditioning by aspiration of standby solution (1)
This process is done before aspiration of the sample. A little reference solution is aspirated
via V8 and the MSS reference electrode (see section 5.5.7 "Aspirating MSS reference solu-
tion, calibration with standby solution" on page 5-29) and is checked with the conductivity
section at the MSS output. Then the measuring chamber is filled with standby solution.
Aspirate sample
The sample is aspirated by turning the MSS output pump and opening the VSI (see section
5.4.2 "Sample distribution" on page 5-10). The tearing of the standby solution and the start
of the sample is detected by the conductivity at the MSS input. Then it must also be possible
to detect the tearing of the standby solution and the sample start, at which the MSS output
pump is stopped. The completed sample positioning is checked again for freedom from bub-
bles via the conductivity distances.
Aspiration of standby solution (2) to determine glu and lac
The determination of the MSS measurement values is always based on the reference poten-
tial of the standby solution; for this reason the MSS cassette is filled with standby solution
(by stopping the MSS input pump) after washing out the sample (with a mixture of standby
solution and air by rotating the two MSS pumps). The quality of the aspiration is assessed
by the conductivity distance at the MSS output.
The MSS input pump is used to fill the tube in the lateral channel (with standby solution),
for defined aspiration (aspirating the standby solution) of the MSS measuring chamber cas-
sette and for washing valve V10.
Aspiration of standby solution (3) to determine urea
The MSS cassette is filled with standby solution again. The quality of the aspiration and the
stroke (after repeated aspiration of standby solution) is assessed by the conductivity dis-
tance at the MSS output.
The sample segment for measurement of tHb/SO 2 or COOX is positioned last. The valves
V2, V4, V17 and V16 are opened and aspirated with the main pump (see section 5.4.2 "Sam-
ple distribution" on page 5-10). The sample is still hemolyzed in the event of a COOX mea-
surement.
At the same time the FMS is started for these procedures (for the pending recalibration of
the BG and ISE modules) and mixed from the A and B Mix1 solutions.

utor (with V15 and V16 open) by creating a low pressure with the vacuum pump. The cor-
rect rinse solution to air ratio is assessed with the SS2 sensor.

When the measuring chamber area is clean, the tHb/SO 2 or COOX module is washed. The
vacuum pump runs rinse solution "in the reverse direction" from V3 through the measuring
module to the Hb cartridge; air packets are mixed in through V4 to increase the cleaning
effect.
Mix1 is aspirated from the FMS to the FMS tube simultaneously.
Then the measuring chamber area is dried. During this procedure the T&D disk is undocked
with the vacuum pump running until the measuring chamber area is dry. The valve positions
are the same as when washing the measuring chamber area
(see 5.4.4 "Washing the measuring chamber vicinity" on page 5-14).

1 - recalibrating BG/ISE
2 - drying tHb/SO 2 or COOX

5 Fluid actions
To recalibrate BG and ISE the main pump first aspirates a mixture of air (from a reservoir
between sample distributor and measuring chamber cartridge) and Mix1 through the mea-
suring chambers. When this has sufficiently washed them, the measuring chambers are filled
with Mix1 by shutting off the air feed.
This filling is assessed by conductivity measurement: with liquid solution a stable and plau-
sible value must be measured between MCI and MCO.
Then the inlet valve is closed and reference solution is aspirated through valves V5 or V9
(see 5.5.5 "Mix1/Mix2 calibration, aspirating BG/ISE reference solution" on page 5-26) until
a clear increase in conductivity between MCI and MCO can be detected. Finally the outlet
and reference valves are closed and the conductivity is checked again.
After each washing of the BG or ISE, the rail is washed and emptied to counteract electrical
couplings to the pump elastomer.
Along with the recalibration the tHb/SO 2 or COOX module is dried. Air is aspirated into the
waste separator with the vacuum pump through V4, measuring module, V2 and V23.
Before the instrument is released for the next measurement, Mix1 residue is aspirated into
the waste separator with the main pump with valves V22, V15 open.

FMS adjustment:
This procedure starts by aspirating the FMS through V19 (air) until it is empty. After a short
pressure equalization V19 is closed and calibration solution B is aspirated into the BG mea-
suring chamber (see 5.5.2 "Calibrating the conductivity for calibrations solution A or B" on
page 5-22).
Solution B must be detected in the BG measuring chamber by the conductivity measuring
distance within a set period (after 9.64 sec at the earliest and after 12.34 sec at the latest).
Calibrating the conductivity for calibration solution B

In this section the conductivity of calibration solution B is precisely measured in the BG and
ISE measuring chamber. The precision of this measurement is very significant for Mix1 and
Mix2, because they are based on this measurement.
Solution B is already in the sample distributor at V21. The BG measuring chamber is cleaned
with a mixture of air and calibration solution B after the FMS adjustment. Then the BG mea-
suring chamber is filled with calibration solution B with no air bubbles and the conductivity
is determined.
Then calibration solution B is aspirated into the ISE measuring chamber and also measured
there.
Calibrating the conductivity for calibration solution A

This procedure is similar to the calibration of the conductivity for calibration solution B,
with the only difference being that a FMS adjustment is not made first.

the vacuum pump and the main pump through the T&D disk (position 5) and the aspiration
channel through SS2 and SS1.

This procedure is necessary to retain the sensitivity of the Na electrode. The Na conditioner
is in the S2 Fluid Pack and is aspirated into the ISE measuring chamber with the vacuum
pump and the main pump through the T&D disk (position 7) and the sample inlet path
through SS2 and SS1.
After this procedure the measuring chamber area is washed (see 5.4.4 "Washing the measur-
ing chamber vicinity" on page 5-14), and the tHb/SO 2 or COOX module is also washed and
Mix1 is prepared (see 5.4.5 "Washing tHb/SO2 or COOX and preparing Mix1" on
page 5-16).
In the case of the tHb/SO 2 module a calibration is conducted during the washing procedure
by measuring the rinse solution values.

Mix1 Calibration
This section refers to the BG and ISE measuring chamber only. The Mix1 mixture is pre-
pared similarly to a recalibration in the sample distributor after a measurement (see 5.4.6
"Recalibrating BG/ISE and drying tHb/SO2 or COOX" on page 5-18) and is ready for entry
to the measuring chamber at V21.
The main pump first aspirates a mixture of air (from a reservoir between sample distributor
and measuring chamber cartridge) and Mix1 through the measuring chambers. When this
has sufficiently washed them, the measuring chambers are filled with Mix1 by shutting off
the air feed.
This filling is assessed by conductivity measurement: with liquid solution a stable and plau-
sible value must be measured between MCI and MCO.
Then the inlet valves are closed and reference solution is aspirated through valves V5 or V9
until a clear increase in conductivity between MCI and MCO can be detected. Finally the
outlet and reference valves are closed and the conductivity is checked again.
Mix2 Calibration
The fluid procedure corresponds exactly to the Mix1 calibration.
The only difference is the mixture ratio of calibration solutions A and B:
Mix1: 33.3% calibration solution A
66.6% calibration solution B
Mix2: 60.0% calibration solution A
40.0% calibration solution B
The Mix2 calibration determines the slopes of the BG electrodes CO 2 and pH along with all
ISE electrodes.

Waste separator MSS reference solution
MSS Standby solution
1 - aspirating MSS reference solution
2 - calibration with standby solution
The MSS cassette is preconditioned by first aspirating standby solution through a metal pipe
in the sample distributor and valves V10 and VSI. The filling is checked at the entrance to
the measuring chamber (MCI - CCR) and at the output to the measuring chamber
(CCL - MCO) by conductivity distance measurements.
Then the reference solution is aspirated to the reference electrode through V8. Next the MSS
cassette is rinsed with standby solution again.
Next the calibration solutions Cal1 to Cal4 (see section 5.5.8 "Cal1 Calibration" and 5.5.9
"Cal2/Cal3/Cal4 Calibration") are aspirated and after a rinse with standby solution a refer-
ence measurement for the glu and lac parameters is made. The reference measurement for
urea is made after repeated rinsing with standby solution.

5 Fluid actions
The calibration does not begin automatically but must be initiated by the user. The fill port
of the T&D module is released for input from an external tHb calibrator.
Once the SS2 sensor has detected the solution and the sample container has been removed,
the positioning begins: a separation at the SS3 sensor is made, then the excess solution is
aspirated out through the sample distributor. The calibration solution is now aspirated
through V2 and the hemolyzer through the cuvette with the main pump. The optical mea-
surement and storage of the cuvette layer thickness is made here.
Finally the COOX module is washed and dried (see section 5.4.5 "Washing tHb/SO2 or
COOX and preparing Mix1" or 5.4.6 "Recalibrating BG/ISE and drying tHb/SO2 or COOX").

T&D module
Initialization: The T&D disc performs an automatic initialization.

Adjustment of disk: This function enables manual adjustment of an extremely
twisted T&D disc: loosen retaining arm behind the T&D disc
with an Allen wrench, T&D disc in pos.1 and press "Adjustment
of disk. Then tighten retaining arm and call up "Initialization".
T&D needle calibration: This function is used for adjusting the position of the T&D disk
to the SIP tip. It must be performed after replacing the SIP or the
tubing set.
Place syringe: This function is used to check the needle position.
It should be centered in the retainer.
If the needle projects too far, it is more difficult to attach a
sample container. If the needle is too far back, there is
a danger that the sample container will fall off.
If the needle is not centered in the container, a "T&D needle

perform the following actions:
- Replace needle.
- Replace T&D disk.
- Replace inlet needle.
- Replace T&D module.
Aspirate from syringe: This function is used for visual inspection of the needle
(bent, broken).
Peristaltic pumps
This test function tests the function of the three peristaltic pumps (the instrument variants
OMNI S 1-4 only have one peristaltic pump). The following features must be noted here:
Noise check: If a pump is too loud, this indicates that the pump head
may be eccentric - The pump head of the relevant pump
must be replaced.
In addition, an excessively noisy pump can indicate that a
pump tube is too tightly seated - The pump tube of the
relvant pump must be replaced.
Direction of rotation: After replace a peristaltic pump the
correct direction of rotation must be checked with the test -
If the direction of rotation is reversed, the pump is incorrectly
connected.
Tubing paths: This test function can often be useful as a support when testing
the tubing, because it allows precise control of the pumps.

Vacuum System
There are four effective test options for the vacuum system that can be used for error anal-
ysis:
• Set 200 mBar as target value and switch on pump: the underpressure should be between
170 and 230 mBar after 2 to 3 seconds. If this cannot be reached, valve V13 or the con-
necting tube must be checked and if necessary replaced.
• Set 400 mBar as target value and switch on pump: the underpressure should be between
360 and 440 mBar after 10 seconds. If this cannot be reached, valve V13 or the connect-
ing tube must be checked and if necessary replaced.
• Set MAX as target value and switch on pump: the underpressure should reach at least
75% of the local Barometric Pressure as sensed on Control sensors/Baro sensor. If this
is not reached, check the pump head and the VPS sensor and if necessary replace.
• Set MAX as target value, switch on pump and then off after 10 seconds: the underpres-
sure should not be less than 15 mBar after one minute. If this is not reached, there is a
leak in the vacuum system: check moisture trap, VPS, V13, V18, V6, V23, main pump,
waste separator and if necessary replace.

8.6.5 General fluidics test

Note: The general fluidics test described below applies to the device variants OMNI S 5
and 6! For device variants OMNI S 1 to 4, the number of areas in which fluidics
tests can be performed is reduced accordingly.
The general fluidics test divides the OMNI S into 11 ranges and perform fluid tests in these
ranges. The test results are displayed on the screen. The possible test results are as follows:
• OK - The test for that section could not find any errors.
• Leak or blocked - The range that has a leak or is blocked is shown exactly; the error can
be found in this range.
• Unknown - An error was detected that is not directly in this range but only affects this
range.
• Error - The range could not be tested because of errors in other ranges.
If errors are found, the relevant range must be tested for leakage or blockage from the fol-
lowing diagrams. The 11 ranges of the general fluidics test are classified as followed:
