We expand on a systematic vibration artifact in three important ways: 1) the artifact is more widespread than first described, 2) we offer another potential solution to reduce the artifact and 3) identify that the artifact may be the basis of a clinical misinterpretation that has been cited as evidence to change policy and practice.
