Symptom Recommended Action
Unit displays the CHECK PADS prompt.
• Ensure MFE Pads are connected to Multi-Function
cable.
• Ensure electrode gel is not dry. Replace MFE Pads if
necessary.
• Ensure good electrode-to-patient contact.
• Check integrity of Multi-Function cable by plugging into
test connector. CHECK PADS prompt should disappear.
No pacing marker ( ) present on the ECG trace.
• Ensure unit is in PACER mode.
• Ensure PACER RATE (ppm) is set greater than patient
heart rate.
No ventricular capture beat after pacing marker is seen
on ECG display.
• Check patient’s pulse.
• Increase output current (mA).
• Ensure MFE Pads are making good contact with the
patient, or review MFE pad placement.
• Select different ECG lead configuration.
Patient receives intermittent pacing stimulus during
standby pacing.
• Ensure proper ECG electrode connection and
placement. If ECG lead wire comes off, pacer
automatically paces asynchronously.
• Check ECG cable for damage.
• Patient R-to-R interval varying. Pace rate close to
patient rate. Verify rate is set appropriately.
Heart rate display reads 0 with proper pacing capture
displayed on ECG trace.
• Check patient’s pulse.
• Select different ECG Lead configuration.
Bedside/Central Station/Telemetry ECG display
becomes erratic when pacing.
• Patient monitor ECG inputs overloaded by pacer
