The method further includes: filtering the raw ECG signal to generate a residual signal; calculating, based on the residual signal, a first amplitude and a first phase shift of a primary interference signal at the average interference frequency and a second amplitude and a second phase shift of one or more harmonic interference signals at respective 10 multiples of the average interference frequency; and digitally subtracting the primary interference signal and the one or more harmonic interference signals from the raw ECG signal so as to generate and output a clean ECG signal. 30/04/08,kn 17253 specification.]63/3 FIG. 3A ECG SIGNAL FIG. 3B RESIDUAL SIGNAL FIG. 3C INTERFERENCE FILTER FIG. 3D FILTERD ECG
