ECG troubleshooting
Problem Solution
ECG signal is noisy or no QRS is detected
●
Ensure that the patient is not shivering.
●
Select the correct filter by selecting the HR
parameter window >
Advanced > Waveform
Filter .
●
Check the electrode quality and positioning. Do
not place electrodes on body hair, bones close to
skin, layers of fat and major muscles. Pre-gelled
electrodes are recommended.
●
Change the lead in ECG1 to the best available
signal and consider using the
Single lead mode.
●
Consider using ECG Size > 2x .
●
Try an alternative location for the Va lead to
improve signal quality. In some cases, like if the
patient has a significant heart failure, changing for
example from V5 to V1 can result in a considerable
difference in the signal amplitude.
●
Check all cable connectors.
12 lead analysis
Intended use of 12RL Interpolated 12 lead ECG analysis
The GE 12RL program generates a 12 lead ECG report from a subset of the electrodes
used to acquire a standard 12 lead ECG. Four of the precordial channels of the 12 lead
ECG (V2, V3, V4, V6) are not acquired from the patient; rather, they are reconstructed
from information that is directly recorded in the other channels of the 12 lead ECG.
The four signals generated by the GE 12RL program are similar but not identical to
the standard 12 lead ECG. All ECG data generated via 12RL are clearly identified as to
which channels have been synthesized.
The GE 12RL program is intended for use in a monitoring environment. Computerized
measurements may be generated from these data; however, a computerized
interpretation will not.
The product is intended for use in the general adult population ranging from healthy
subjects to patients with cardiac and/or non-cardiac abnormalities.
The product is to be used in conjunction with the patient's clinical history, symptoms,
and other diagnostic tests for final clinical judgment.
Intended use of 12SL ECG analysis
The 12SL Analysis Program assists the physician in measuring and interpreting resting
12 lead ECGs for rhythm and contour information by providing an initial automated
interpretation. Interpretation by the product is then confirmed, edited, or deleted by the
physician. The analysis program is intended for use in the general population, ranging
from healthy subjects to patients with cardiac and/or non-cardiac abnormalities. The
