Why does the RIP signal look different sometimes?
The RIP system is very sensitive and can provide more information about the patient’s respiration (e.g. flattening of the signal during an event). Further, RIP by its very nature is akin to an antenna and is sometimes subject to interference. The RIP systems are designed with modules that operate at different frequencies to minimize any interference. In the event that you do get some static in the signal, rerouting the interface cables so they are not directly touching or tightening or loosening one of the bands slightly can help separate the frequencies further and eliminate any interference.
