What Is the 989803143201 Compatible 5-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable?

The IPR Medical EC-5005RG-A is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) 5-lead one-piece ECG cable that replaces OEM part 989803143201. Set up for limb and chest lead placement, it has five leads that terminate in grabber/pinch electrode ends, and it is listed as defib-proof. As a one-piece design, the leads are part of the cable rather than a separate leadwire set, and the whole reusable assembly is intended for ECG monitoring.

Compatible Monitor Models

For OEM part 989803143201, the compatibility list is long, and nearly all of it is made up of the original equipment manufacturer’s models; the Compatible Monitor Models table on the Specifications tab lists every one. Among the other brands are select Solaris models such as the NT3C, NT3E, and NT3F, select Welch Allyn models such as the Propaq Encore 206EL, and select Nihon Kohden, Newtech, and Konsung models (the NT3B, NT3A, and Aurora 12s). Please make sure your model is on that list before ordering.

Design and Construction

Five leads cover limb and chest placement on the EC-5005RG-A, each finished with a grabber/pinch end. Under AHA color coding, RA is white, LA black, LL red, RL green, and V brown. The cable is specified at 8.2 ft + 3.0 ft (2.5 m + 0.9 m), carries a defib-proof feature, and is reusable, so it can go back into service after cleaning per your facility protocol. Each cable comes one per bag.

When to Replace Your 5-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable

With five leads in play, a worn cable often shows up as one lead that keeps dropping out while the others read normally, or as artifact that changes when the chest lead is moved. Physically, look for grabbers that have lost their tension, cracks or kinks in the jacket of the main cable or any lead, and bent pins or a cracked housing at the monitor connector. Try a known-good cable on the same monitor to confirm that the cable is the cause before you replace it.
