3.2 Chief Complaint, Cause and Corrective Action
ECG
Complaint
Cause Corrective Action
ECG waveform not displayed
(dashed lines)
Patient electrodes
Lead wires
Cable
ECG cable connection
Failed main board
ECG 1
ECG waveform not properly scaled
Possible patient physiology problem
Check gain setting
Reinstall software
ECG gain set to 10mm/mV in
ECG 1
Advanced Configuration
ECG waveform not cascading Incorrect Advanced Cofiguration
setting
Change Advanced Configuration setting to:
Second trace source = ECG; ECG gain =
automatic
Heart rate not detected Patient electrodes
ECG 1
