within 20% of each
other.

excessive ECG artifact.
Or ECG leads are off.

shift.
Action

carefully. Treat if nec-
essary. Check and or
change the electrode
placement if you
receive a coincidence
message until you
obtain a clear respira-
tion signal.
Calm patient. Ensure
that the patient's skin
is properly prepped
and change electrodes
if necessary. Isolate the
patient form auxiliary
equipment. Inspect and
replace defective
cables and wires.
Select another ECG
lead for processing
(from ECG menu).
Check patient cable
and lead wires and
replace if necessary.
Reapply gel or change
