C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting Chapter 8 Troubleshooting 8.1 Lead Fault Data saturation or overflow happens. Solution: Ensure that all leads are in good contact, and wait for half a minute or the waveforms on the screen are stable, and then start printing.
C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting 8.2 Printer Failure Unclear printing. Solution: Whenever a printer fault occurs, such as poor or incorrect ECG recording, you may try to clean the thermal printer head with soft cotton dipped with medical alcohol. Please check if the quality of the thermal paper is poor or if the unsealing time is too long, resulting in reduced performance of thermal layers, and replace with provided or specified recording paper.
C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting 8.4 AC Interference Apparent and regular trembling of ECG waveform in the process of recording due to AC interference is shown as below. Causes of baseline wander are varied, please do following checks one by one: Make sure the ECG machine is properly grounded according to the instructions.
C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting CAUTION Set EMG filter to lower value if EMG interference still exists after the above checks are completed, and keep in mind that the recorded ECG waveform, particularly R wave, will be somewhat attenuated. 8.6 Baseline Wander Irregular movement of ECG baseline due to baseline drift is shown as below: Causes of baseline wander are varied, please do following checks one by one:...
C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting 8.7 The ECG Machine cannot be turned on AC power is not working properly and the battery is exhausted. Solution: First check if the power outlet connects properly, if the power line and the machine connect properly, and then check if local AC voltage is normal.
C h a p t e r 8 Troubleshooting 8.9 Battery is quickly Charged and Discharged If the battery is often not fully charged, the performance will be deteriorated. Solution: It is recommended to charge the battery continuously until the battery is fully charged and activated for the first two times.
