- / 3
cycle interference, is artifact caused by electrical equipment, mobile telephones, and electrical power lines.To minimize 60 cycle interference (or 60 Hz pickup), the technician should set the diagnostic mode of the 12-lead electrocardiogram monitor to 0.05-40 Hz. With the low frequency/high pass filter set to 0.05 the monitor should produce accurate ST-segments.
