Don't sure this is the right forum for my thread because I am referring about a medical device that is blood analyser.
The problem of this device is it can't suck the blood sample in the pre-dilute mode. The blood will be attracted into a so-called White blood cell basin.
At that time, a plastic pot is at "negative pressure" and it connects to White blood cell basin via a valve. In the others way, the tube that sample will be attracted into also connect to that basin.
So when I test "ON" that valve while no using sample (means the tube is connected to air pressure. The basin get two pressure, "-" from the pot and "+" from air. And so in that test mode, another motor that control the flow of air then control the pressure of that pot will operate, its operation is something like "stop" then "run" then "stop" ... I was said that the reason is there are two kind of pressure in the basin.
Now if I stop the tube 's head then from theory, there is only "-" pressure, then anything in that tube will be sucked in the basin and the motor will operate at one state only but it still the same like before. I check and see no errors on the tube (also the tube connect the pot to the basin is still good) .
Now I discover that one screw make the basin crack like the crack on your glass for drinking, but I think that is very very small gap, so does it affect the pressure inside the basin ?
Thanks.
One more question, when you blow from A to B, then the pressure of A is greater than B caused of your action ?
