      If you encounter a 'Memory is full. This ECG cannot be saved' message on your GE Measuring Instruments, it means the device's storage capacity is completely full. To resolve this, transmit patient reports to the configured destinations and then delete these transmitted reports from the Files list. This will create additional storage space on your device.
