If one electrode fails, the message ›Check electrode contact‹  

appears, but the measurement can nevertheless be carried out 

without difficulty

In  the  so-called  15-electrode  mode,  the  inactive  electrode  in  the  virtual  
thorax  contour  is  marked  in  yellow.  If  an  electrode  fails  after  starting  the  
measurement, recalibration is required. Then the message ›Electrode contact 
impaired‹ is displayed, but this does not pose a significant limitation for the 
measurement. 

1.7. SPECIaL CaSE: 15-ELECTrOdE MOdE

In  the  special  case  that  one  electrode  does  not  have  enough  skin  contact, 
the measurement can nevertheless be carried out reliably. The device uses a 
special mode for this purpose.
