Troubleshooting

If you experience problems with EMG readings we recommend
you make the following checks:
1. Check the lead wires for splits or breaks in the wire or at the
end where the connectors are attached to the wire.
2. Check the lead wires of surface and or internal electrodes.
Inferior surface electrodes will cause incorrect readings;
we recommend you always use quality electrodes for
EMG measurement.
3. If you are using a laptop computer and experience
interference when using the charger, switch the charger off.
If you still experience interference move to another area.
4. If you are using vaginal or anal probes we recommend the
patient uses conductive gel.
5. Some patient's vaginal aperture may be too large for some
internal probes, causing intermittent contact with the walls
of the pelvic muscle. In such cases, one should try another
larger electrode.
6. If you are connected to a laptop or desk top computer check
to make sure the ends of the fibre optic cable are not
damaged, as this will tend to obstruct the signal from the
PERITONE unit to the computer.
7. If you are not connected to a computer check to make
sure there is no debris in the fibre optic connector, which
is situated on the top left hand side of the device.
