Why does my Fresenius Kabi Conox 2D show 'Artefact - Excessive artefacts detected'?
- K
  Kathryn RuizAug 19, 2025
  If your Fresenius Kabi Medical Equipment displays 'Artefact - Excessive artefacts detected', it means that patient's movements or other electrical devices are interfering with the signal quality. To solve this issue: * Minimize patient blinking or movement. * Remember that the device is not designed to work during electrocautery; it should resume normal operation afterward. * The device may be affected by EMC from other devices such as warming blankets. * If the problem persists, replace the patient sensor. If the problem continues after these steps, contact your distributor.
