waveform amplitude is
insufficient to be detected.
Probable causes and/or
suggestions:

electrical activity or rhythm.
The amplitude or strength is
inadequate. Adjust the
electrodes, and/or increase
the gain.
NOTE: The "No ECG detected"
alarm becomes "O2 Sensor? ECG?"
if at the time the no ECG detected
alarm is triggered, there is already a
SpO2 alarm active.

suggestions:
Check the ECG leads.
Reposition electrodes and
add gel to surface leads if
necessary.
