What Is the GE 5831400 Compatible 5-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable?

The GE Healthcare 5831400 compatible ECG cable is a reusable, aftermarket 5-lead one-piece patient cable with grabber/pinch electrode connectors for GE CARESCAPE and B-series patient monitors. The trunk and leadwires are permanently joined in a single shielded assembly that covers both limb and chest lead placement, using AHA color coding. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to OEM fit, form, and function.

Compatible Monitor Models

This compatible cable is confirmed for use with GE CARESCAPE B450, B650, and B850 monitors and the GE B40. Confirm that your monitor accepts a 5-lead one-piece ECG cable with AHA color coding before ordering.

Design and Construction

The cable combines an 8.2 ft (2.5 m) trunk with 3.0 ft (0.9 m) leadwires for a total reach of about 11.2 ft (3.4 m). Shielded leadwires help reduce electrical interference for a cleaner ECG trace in busy clinical environments. The grabber/pinch connectors clip onto tab and snap electrodes, so one cable works with a range of electrode styles. The one-piece design has no yoke-to-leadwire connection to loosen or lose. The cable is reusable after cleaning according to facility protocol and ships one per bag.

When to Replace Your GE 5-Lead ECG Cable

Replace the cable when the monitor shows “leads off” or a noisy, intermittent ECG with fresh electrodes, when artifact appears as the leadwires are flexed, or when you find a cracked jacket, a broken or weak grabber spring, or bent or corroded pins at the monitor connector. Because the leadwires are permanently attached, damage to any single lead means replacing the whole cable.
