RA FAIL
This message is displayed in the ECG parameter box when either the RA lead fails, or the RA and V leads fail
during 5-lead processing. During an RA FAIL alarm, lead III is displayed in Waveform 1. All other ECG waveforms
are erased. This is a low priority alarm.
LA FAIL
This message is displayed in the ECG parameter box when either the LA lead fails, or the LA and V leads fail
during 5-lead processing. During an LA FAIL alarm, only lead II is displayed in Waveform 1. All other ECG
waveforms are erased. This is a low priority alarm.
LL FAIL
This message is displayed in the ECG parameter box when either the LL lead fails, or the LL and V leads fail during
5-lead processing. During an LL FAIL alarm, lead I is displayed in Waveform 1. All other ECG waveforms are erased.
This is a low priority alarm.
V FAIL
This message is displayed in the ECG parameter box when the V lead fails during 5-lead processing. If the V lead
is the primary ECG lead during a V FAIL alarm, lead II will become the primary ECG lead and will be displayed in
Waveform 1. All other leads remain available. This is a low priority alarm.
LEADS OVERLOAD
This message is displayed in the ECG parameter box when there is a high impedance in the ECG cable or on more
than one of the ECG leads.
To correct:
Be sure that all the leads are properly positioned and connected.
