What Is the Nihon Kohden BR-916PA Compatible 6-Lead ECG Leadwire?

The IPR Medical EL-NKB6-90S-A is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) 6-lead ECG leadwire that replaces the Nihon Kohden BR-916PA. It covers limb and chest lead placement with snap electrode ends, follows AHA color coding, and is 3.0 ft (0.9 m) long. This reusable leadwire is intended for ECG monitoring, and its lead type is listed as Nihon Kohden BR-9XXP.

Compatible Monitor Models

Monitors listed for this snap leadwire include select Nihon Kohden BSM models such as the BSM-2351, BSM-4100 Series, BSM-6701, and BSM-9510, plus select Life Scope, PVM, TEC, and ZM models, for example the Life Scope SVM 7200 Series and the ZM-900 Series Transmitters. Select Skanray / Larsen & Toubro models (Galaxy, Planet 55, Star 50, and Star 55) are included as well. Where a BSM entry is listed with a YJ or AY part number, the table reproduces that configuration as listed. Before ordering, confirm your monitor in the Compatible Monitor Models table on the Specifications tab.

Design and Construction

Six leads provide combined limb and chest placement, and each one ends in a snap that connects to a standard electrode stud. The leads use AHA color coding, the shielded leadwire has a molded distal connector, and it measures 3.0 ft (0.9 m). Being reusable, it can be cleaned between patients in line with facility protocol and kept in rotation while it continues to pass inspection. It ships one per bag.

When to Replace Your 6-Lead ECG Leadwire

Replace the leadwire when a snap feels loose or will not stay seated on the electrode, when the jacket on any lead is cracked, frayed, or kinked, or when the connector shows bent pins or other physical damage. Watch for chest or limb leads that drop out intermittently, persistent noise on one or more ECG leads, and lead-off alarms that come and go as the patient moves. Comparing against a known-good leadwire on the same monitor lets biomedical staff confirm whether the leadwire is at fault.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

This compatible leadwire replaces the Nihon Kohden BR-916PA and cross-references to Nihon Kohden BR-916P and K915A. The Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers table on the Specifications tab lists the remaining interchange numbers.
