4.11.1 Electrode and patient cable check
The electrode check is part of step 2 before the start of an ECG recording. The
following is checked and displayed:
• Excessive noise (signal noise too high)
– due to poor electrode contact
– due to mains interferences (mains filter not activated)
• Electrodes reversed
• Electrodes have come off
The electrode status is shown in the bottom right information field of the screen. If an
electrode is displayed red, the suspected cause is displayed. Reapply the electrode.
• If F (LL) or N is not connected or has come off, the electrode resistance cannot be
measured and all leads are marked red.
Check that the electrodes are properly attached, the
ECG cable is connected and the correct powerline
filter is configured.
Some of the electrodes seem to be interchanged. Please
check that all electrodes are placed in the correct
position.
