Problem
Cause
Remedy
60-Cycle (AC) Interference
Poor electrode placement.
Possible non-grounded
instrument near patient.
Re-apply electrodes, using good skin
preparation (see “Positioning ECG

Disconnect electrical appliances near
patient (one at a time) by pulling wall
plugs, to determine faulty grounding.
Have engineering check grounding.
Muscle Artifact
Tense, uncomfortable
patient.

Check that electrodes are applied on
flat non-muscular areas of the torso;

using good skin preparation (see
“Positioning ECG Electrodes” on page
6-10).
Irregular Baseline
Poor electrical contact.
Respiratory interference.
Faulty electrodes.
Dry electrodes.
Re-apply electrodes, using good skin
