Most ECG machines calibrate themselves when they are turned on. Older or cheaper models they may need prompting, each is different but the user manual should explain it. Calibration is usually set to 1mV = 10 small squares. This can be manually adjusted if the patient has an unusually large QRS complex. Hope this helps

What are the basic electronics of an ECG machine?
An ECG (Electrocardiogram), or an EKG (Elektrokardiogramm) works by measuring electrical potential between various points of the body using a galvanometer (a very sensitive voltage meter). -DJ Craig
Which electrode for a ECG is used as the ground?
Right Leg-RL
What is the lead selector switch on a ECG machine?
Eeach electrode connected to the patient is attached to the lead selector of ECG.This will determine which electrodes are necessary for a particular lead and will connect them to the remainder of the circuit. It can be controlled by the operator or by the microcomputer of the electrocardiograph. It selects one or more leads to be recorded. Source:John.G.Webster
How do you set up guitar and microphone on ps3?

What to do if the ECG machine malfunction?
If the ECG machine malfunctions you will need to redo the test. You can try unplugging the machine and replugging it to see if that resets the system.
How do you if the ECG machine is working correctly?
It can be tested with something called an ecg simulator.
What is ecg machine?

How do you calibrate the heart lung machine?
run the machine and look after the tube rating... and placing the roller pump at its position just measure the drop through it

How do you record the electrical activity of the heart?
The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) machine. This machine detects the electrical signals generated by the heart and produces a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity called an ECG tracing. Electrodes are placed on the skin to capture these signals and can help diagnose heart conditions.
What is an ekg technician job for?
An electrocardiogram technician performs an ECG by attaching electrodes to a patient and then pulling switches on an ECG machine to trace electrical impulses transmitted by the heart. A doctor then inspects these readings to analyze the patient's heart condition.
