ECG Screen Notification Messages
The VERITAS interpretive algorithm detects Leads Off and Lead Fault conditions. It also detects electrode
misplacements based on normal physiology and ECG lead order and tries to identify the most likely switch. If the
algorithm detects an electrode lead misplacement, it’s recommended that the user confirm the other electrode
positions in the same group (limb or chest).
When the condition that triggered the notification message is addressed the VERITAS collects
10 seconds of new data before analyzing the ECG.
Message
Description
Corrective Action
Leads Off
Patient is not connected
Connect patient to ECG Leads.
Lead Fault
Faulty lead(s)
Re-prep and replace electrode(s) if
necessary to obtain satisfactory
waveform(s).
“Limb leads reversed?”
“LA or LL reversed?”
“RA or RL reversed?”
“RA or LA reversed?”
“V1 or V2 reversed?”
“V2 or V3 reversed?”
“V3 or V4 reversed?”
“V4 or V5 reversed?”
“V5 or V6 reversed?”
Electrode Wrong Position
Connect the lead(s) correctly to the
patient or connect the lead(s) to the
proper location.
WAM Low Battery
Low battery detected in the
WAM
Replace the batteries in the WAM.
Searching for WAM
WAM not detected. WAM
may be out of range,
powered OFF, depleted
battery, or requires
additional pairing.
Check WAM proximity to the ELI 280;
check WAM AA battery is new and
that the WAM is powered ON.
NOTE: In the event of a lead fault or lead misplaced message the clinician may force ECG
acquisition by depressing the ECG button again.
ECG Electrode Placement Troubleshooting
Please refer to the following troubleshooting guide based on Einthoven’s Triangle:
Artifact
Check Electrode
Lead II and III artifact
Poor LL electrode or left leg tremor
Lead I and II artifact
Poor RA electrode or right arm tremor
Lead I and III artifact
Poor LA electrode or left arm tremor
V Leads
Re-prep site & replace electrode
