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. If the quality of the thermal paper is poor or the paper is not used for a long time, which may result in reduced performance of thermal layers.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting 9.4 Indication of Lead Off This ECG machine can detect the lead connecting status continuously. When the leads are not well connected to the main unit, it means that the signals cannot be transferred correctly, thus there is “lead off:*” indication, accompanied by voice alarm.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting 9.6 EMG Interference Irregular trembling of ECG waveforms due to EMG interference is shown as below. Causes of baseline wander are varied, please do following checks one by one: Make sure that the exam room is comfortable for examination. Soothe the patient from irritation or excitement.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting Keep the patient silent and motionless, and keep the patient from hyperventilation. Used electrodes shall not be utilized with new ones in patient examination. CAUTION If the problem still can’t be cleared, please turn up the baseline wander filter, keep in mind that the recorded ECG waveforms, particularly T wave and ST segment, will be somewhat distorted.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting 9.9 Paper Feeding Failure Press , but paper is not fed. Solution: Check if the keyboard has been damaged and replace damaged keyboard. Press , the paper is not fed, and there is abnormal sound from recorder. Solution: First check if the recording paper is installed properly, and if the gear on the cover of paper magazine is in good condition.
Chapter 9 Troubleshooting 9.11 Wrong Analysis Result For the case for some special populations (such as pregnant women, the user of vascular drugs, etc.) or mixed by obvious interference in the recording process, the analysis result of the resting ECG analysis of this ECG machine may be inaccurate.

Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
The iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph should assure that it is used in such an environment.

The iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph should assure that it is used in such an environment.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the iE 3 & iE 6 Digital Electrocardiograph should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the iE 3 &...
