RESP Messages
LEAD FAIL. One or more electrodes are making very poor or no contact. Check for
proper connection; replace electrodes if needed.
INAPPROPRIATE ECG CABLE. ECG cable appears not to contain 1K current limiting
resistors. These resistors are required for RESP operation and to protect the Propaq
Encore from damage during defibrillation. Replace cable with proper type.
NOISY SIGNAL, CHECK ELECTRODES. Electrodes are making poor contact and may
be dried out. Replace electrodes.
Warning If a disconnected lead is in too close proximity to other electrical
devices, it may cause false heart rate, a failure to detect apnea, or a failure to
display a Lead Fail message.
