I need help troubleshooting a Sysmex K-1000 hematology analyzer. It passes
the initial start up check, but it is not sucking any of the sulfolyzer
reagent. Thus, the RBC are not lyzed and I am not getting any readings for
HGB's. I tried flushing the line with a syringe and bleach, but the line is
really plugged up.  BTW, the instrument doesn't have a maintenance contract
and we do not have availability of technical help in person or by phone. I
would really appreciate any suggestions.

Who says.......

Trace the line back to find out EXACTLY what bit is blocked then flush that
bit with hot water - NOT bleach.

Did it work ?

No and now both lines are plugged up. I tried flushing them with warm water,
but there is no way I can force any fluid in there. Any ideas?

Try poking the lines through with fishing line, maybe?
