Reason
During some internal testing at Siemens, it was discovered that the D50 (glucose sensor) and D51 (lactate sensor) error codes were not functioning on the RAPIDLab 1260 and RAPIDLab 1265 instruments. Glucose and lactate sensors that are not completely seated with the contacts on the instrument should alert the operator with a D50 (glucose sensor) error or a D51 (lactate sensor) error.
