What Is the Nihon Kohden BR-906PA Compatible 6-Lead ECG Leadwire?

The IPR Medical EL-NKB6-90G-A is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) 6-lead ECG leadwire that replaces the Nihon Kohden BR-906PA. Designed for limb and chest lead placement during ECG monitoring, it uses grabber/pinch electrode ends and AHA color coding, measures 3.0 ft (0.9 m), and is reusable. Its lead type is listed as Nihon Kohden BR-9XXP.

Compatible Monitor Models

Compatibility listings for this 6-lead leadwire cover select Nihon Kohden BSM models, for example the BSM-2300 Series, BSM-5100, BSM-6301, and BSM-9100, along with select Life Scope, PVM, TEC, and ZM models such as the Life Scope TR and PVM-2701. Select Skanray / Larsen & Toubro models (Galaxy, Planet 55, Star 50, and Star 55) are listed too. Some BSM entries appear with YJ or AY part numbers attached; the table shows those configurations as they are listed. Use the Compatible Monitor Models table on the Specifications tab to confirm your monitor before you order.

Design and Construction

The EL-NKB6-90G-A carries six leads for combined limb and chest placement. Each lead ends in a grabber/pinch connection for the electrode, and the leads follow AHA color coding. A molded distal connector finishes this shielded leadwire, which is 3.0 ft (0.9 m) long. It is a reusable accessory, so it can be cleaned between patients according to facility protocol, and it is packaged one per bag.

When to Replace Your 6-Lead ECG Leadwire

Retire the leadwire if any lead has a cracked, split, or flattened jacket, if a grabber has lost its spring tension or no longer holds the electrode tab, or if the connector has bent pins or a damaged housing. Intermittent leads, a baseline that drifts or turns noisy, and lead-off alarms that clear when a lead is repositioned all point toward a worn leadwire. Testing with a known-good leadwire on the same monitor helps your biomedical team isolate the problem quickly.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

Beyond the Nihon Kohden BR-906PA, this compatible leadwire cross-references to Nihon Kohden BR-906P and K912A. Additional interchange numbers appear in the Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers table on the Specifications tab.
