Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Noisy ECG / lead-off
HighSymptoms: Baseline wander, muscle / AC noise, "lead fail", poor 12-lead quality.
Root cause: Poor skin prep, dried or lifting electrodes, or a worn patient cable / lead set.
Will not acquire / analyse
MediumSymptoms: Acquisition hangs, no interpretation, or a self-test failure.
Root cause: Acquisition-module fault or a software issue.
Printer fault
MediumSymptoms: No or faint report, paper jam.
Root cause: Thermal print head or paper handling.
Battery / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Short battery run time, will not hold charge.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Connectivity / order-and-results fault
LowSymptoms: ECGs will not transmit to MUSE / the EMR, orders not received.
Root cause: Wi-Fi / network configuration or the communication module.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Noisy ECG
- Re-prep the skin and fit fresh electrodes.
- Secure the lead wires and route away from AC sources.
- Swap in a known-good patient cable / lead set.
- Check the acquisition module connection.
- Confirm a clean 12-lead.
Symptom: Will not transmit
- Confirm the Wi-Fi / network settings and signal.
- Check the MUSE / EMR destination configuration.
- Send a test ECG.
- Reboot the cart.
- Escalate a persistent communication fault.
