ECG leadwires and trunk cables, matched by monitor and lead count
With 127 listed products, the ECG cable line is the second-largest in the catalogue: trunk (host) cables that connect monitor to leadwire set, and the leadwire sets themselves in 3, 5, 6 and 10-lead configurations for monitoring and diagnostic 12-lead work. The range covers Philips, GE Healthcare, Mindray, Nihon Kohden, Edan and the other mainstream monitoring platforms.
Cables fail differently from sensors: conductors fatigue at the connector and at the patient end, grabber jaws lose tension, and a set can pass a visual check while one lead is already intermittent. The range is therefore stocked as complete sets and as separate trunks, so a department replaces the faulty half instead of the whole assembly — and every set is keyed to a named trunk or monitor connector so the replacement actually mates.

Trunk cable or leadwire set — which do you need?
On most monitoring systems the ECG pathway is two parts: a trunk cable fixed to the monitor or module, and a detachable leadwire set that takes the wear. Artefact that follows one lead position usually lives in the leadwire set; artefact across all leads, or a lead-off alarm that survives a new set, points at the trunk or its connector. The family pages split the range into trunk cables, monitoring leadwire sets and full 12-lead diagnostic cables so the replacement matches the failure.
- Trunk cables — monitor-side host cables by platform
- 3/5/6-lead sets — monitoring, snap or grabber, AHA or IEC colours
- 12-lead cables — 10-lead diagnostic sets for ECG machines and monitors
Specifying the right set
Confirm four things: the monitor (brand, model, and whether a trunk sits between monitor and set), the lead count, the patient-end fitting (snap is the monitoring default; grabber suits diagnostic rest ECG; 4.0 mm banana appears on some systems), and the colour convention — AHA and IEC sets are wired to the same positions but labelled and coloured differently, and mixing conventions in one department is a classic source of placement errors. OEM part numbers settle all four at once; the cross-reference covers the common trunk and set numbers.

Questions & answers
How do I know whether the trunk or the leadwire set has failed?
Swap in a known-good set: if the artefact follows the set, replace the set; if it stays on the same lead positions with a good set, suspect the trunk cable or monitor connector.
Do you stock both AHA and IEC colour coding?
Yes — most monitoring sets are available in AHA and IEC variants. State the convention your department uses when ordering.
What regulatory documentation covers ECG cables?
The range is CE marked under the EU MDR and produced under the ISO 13485:2016 quality system. For the US market, ask us to confirm the regulatory documentation for your exact model during qualification.
