Phenomenon
Possible Cause
Solution
Weak ECG signal
The angle of the transducer is
not appropriate
Rotate the transducer slightly in
the left and right 90° range until a
clear ECG signal is found
The placement location is not
optimal
Select the upper, flat area of the
fundus as much as possible
The belt is too loose or the signal
of the patient herself is too weak
Adjust the belt and transducer, if
no improvements are made,
change another method of
detection when ECG calculation is
doubtful.

interference or thick
baseline
Bad contact between
electrodes and skin
Ensure the three electrodes are in
complete contact with the skin
Dry or rough skin of the patient

using conductive substance that is
easy to make residual such as
conductive paste in case of short
circuit between electrodes.
Patient sweats
Clean the skin regularly and keep
it dry
Patients’ movements and
changes of abdomen profile that
lead to bad contact of electrodes
Suggest the patient to move less,
and adjust the belt and transducer
while changing position, and
ensure electrodes are in contact
