ECG
Reference
For electrode attachment procedure, refer to “3. Vital Application / To
Acquire ECG Waveform / Before Attaching the Electrodes (Disposable
Electrodes), Electrode Placement”.
ECG waveform contains noise.
Cause 1 : The electrode contact is poor.
Electrical blanket or other noise source is near the patient.
Solution : - Attach the electrodes firmly.
- Replace the lead cable if defective.
- If any noise source is near the patient, locate it away from the
patient as much as possible.
Cause 2 : EMG is interfering.
Solution : Change the electrode site to a location where EMG will less likely to
interfere.
Heart rate is not counted, and <ECG Check Electrodes> message is
displayed.
Cause : The electrode of the displayed lead type is detached, or is not
making good electrical contact with the skin. If the lead type is not
displayed, 2 or more electrodes are detached.
Solution : Check the electrode application.
Replace the electrode, or check the lead cable.
The <ECG Check Electrodes> message is displayed.
Cause : The electrode is not making good electrical contact with the skin.
Solution : Check if the electrodes are properly attached.
Replace the electrode, or check the lead cable.
ECG waveform is in the baseline position.
The lead-off condition may have occurred by the following causes.
Cause 1 : Electrode is detached.
Solution : Reattach the electrode. If the electrode attachment is inadequate,
replace the electrode.
Cause 2 : The lead cable is disconnected from the electrode terminal.
