    Power line interference in electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings can be reduced by addressing environmental magnetic fields. A novel solution actively minimizes these fields, ensuring clear ECG tracings for accurate cardiac diagnostics.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Power line interference (50 Hz) is a common artifact in electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings.
    • Modern ECG machines require minimal electrode preparation, but persistent interference can occur.
    • Persistent interference may stem from magnetic fields interacting with electrode lead loops.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the cause of persistent interference in a specific ECG recording area.
    • To develop and implement a novel solution for eliminating power line magnetic field interference.
    • To ensure satisfactory routine ECG determinations without noticeable interference.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated persistent ECG interference exceeding 0.4 mV peak to peak.
    • Developed a novel method to actively reduce environmental power line magnetic fields.

  • Applied the solution to three adjacent examination couches.

    • Main Results:

    • The novel solution effectively reduced environmental power line magnetic fields.
    • Treated examination couches now provide satisfactory routine ECG determinations.
    • No noticeable interference was observed after the intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Active reduction of environmental power line magnetic fields is an effective strategy for eliminating ECG interference.
    • This novel approach ensures high-quality ECG recordings in routine clinical settings.
    • The developed solution offers a reliable method for improving diagnostic accuracy by removing artifacts.
