What Is the GE 2106395-001 Compatible 6-Lead ECG Leadwire?

The GE Healthcare 2106395-001 compatible 6-lead ECG leadwire is a reusable, aftermarket lead set for GE’s Multi-Link ECG system. It carries cardiac signals from six surface electrodes, four limb leads and two chest leads, to a Multi-Link trunk cable and on to the monitor or telemetry transmitter. The second chest lead gives clinicians an additional precordial view beyond a standard 5-lead set, which supports more complete arrhythmia and ST-segment monitoring. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to the same fit, form, and function as the OEM 2106395-001 and 421930-001 lead sets.

Compatible Monitor Models

This compatible 6-lead set is confirmed for use with GE CARESCAPE B450, B650, B850, and CARESCAPE ONE patient monitors, and with GE ApexPro CH telemetry. It connects through a matching GE Multi-Link trunk cable that supports 6-lead monitoring, so biomedical technicians should confirm the trunk cable in service accepts six leads before ordering.

Design and Construction

All six leads are 3 ft (0.9 m) long and shielded, which helps keep the ECG trace clean in electrically noisy clinical settings. Each lead ends in an individual Multi-Link connector at the trunk end that seats into its labeled position on the Multi-Link trunk cable. At the patient end, each lead has a snap connector that presses onto standard snap electrodes for a low-profile, secure attachment that suits longer monitoring periods and ambulatory telemetry patients. The leads follow the AHA color code used in US facilities. The set is latex-free, non-sterile, rated for adult and pediatric patients, weighs about 0.3 lbs, and ships one per bag.

When to Replace Your GE Multi-Link 6-Lead Leadwire

Reusable leadwires wear out from constant flexing, electrode snapping, and repeated disinfection, and telemetry sets see extra wear from ambulating patients. Replace the set when you see baseline wander or noise on one or more leads, intermittent “lead fail” alarms with good electrode contact, snap connectors that no longer grip the electrode firmly, cracked or stiff jacketing, exposed shielding, faded color coding, or a Multi-Link connector that no longer seats securely. A single failing chest lead can distort the precordial views the 6-lead set is chosen for, so many units replace the set at the first sign of wear.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

This compatible 6-lead snap leadwire, IPR Medical SKU EL-MQS6-90S-A, cross-references to GE Healthcare part number 421930-001 (29 in) and to Marquette part numbers 421930-002 (51 in), 421930-003, 2106395-001, 2106395-002, and 2106395-003. It also interchanges with AMC LW-2410029/6A and LW-2400029/6A, Curbell LDW-06AD-29AM-0100, LDW-06AD-51AM-0100, and LDW-06AD-MXAM-0100, and Sage Services Group L02-06-29S. Several of these OEM numbers are the same lead set in 29 in, 51 in, or mixed lead lengths, so confirm the 3 ft (0.9 m) length suits your application when replacing a longer set.
