(administrator rights required).
Remedy
Check pulse rate using ECG
• Dry sensor
• Use dry sensor
Apply sensor correctly, see instructions for
use for sensor
Cover application site with opaque material
• Switch off devices in proximity, isolate
interfering device
• Align interfering device differently or set up
in a different location
• Increase the distance between it and the
interfering device
• Assess patient vital signs using alternative
means
• Apply blood pressure cuff to location with
better perfusion
