A field service engineer (fse) found that the ion-selective electrode (ise) electrode required replacement.He replaced the sodium electrode and the ise reference electrode.Ise calibration, instrument check, ise performance check, and qc were performed, and they were all within specifications.The instrument was performing within specifications.The service action of replacing the ise reference electrode resolved the issue.The root cause was due to an issue with the ise reference electrode.
