What Is the GE 2106389-001 Compatible 5-Lead ECG Leadwire?

The GE Healthcare 2106389-001 compatible 5-lead ECG leadwire is a reusable, aftermarket lead set for GE’s Multi-Link ECG system. It carries cardiac signals from five surface electrodes, four limb leads and one chest lead, to a Multi-Link trunk cable and on to the monitor. The five-lead configuration supports multi-lead arrhythmia and ST-segment monitoring in the ICU, OR, emergency department, and step-down units. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to the same fit, form, and function as the OEM 2106389-001 and 412681-001 lead sets.

Compatible Equipment Models

GE Multi-Link leadwires are among the most widely used ECG accessories in US hospitals, and this compatible set fits the full range of equipment that accepts Multi-Link trunk cables. That includes GE CARESCAPE B105, B125, B450, B650, B850, and CARESCAPE ONE monitors, the Procare B40, Dash 1000 through Dash 5000 and Dash PRO monitors, Solar 3000, 8000, and 9500 systems, Tram modules, the PDM module, ApexPro CH telemetry, Eagle and Responder monitors, MAC-Lab, and Unity Systems. It also fits the GE Aisys CS2 anesthesia system, Logiq and Vivid ultrasound systems, the Corometrics 120, 250cx, and 259cx fetal monitors, Datex-Ohmeda Aestiva/5, E-PRESTN, M-PRESTN, and Unity equipment, and the Draeger Narkomed 6400.

Design and Construction

All five leads are 3 ft (0.9 m) long and shielded, which helps keep the ECG trace clean in electrically noisy clinical settings. The trunk end has a molded GE Multi-Link connector that snaps securely into the matching Multi-Link trunk cable. The patient end has grabber/pinch clips that attach to both tab and snap-style electrodes. The leads follow the AHA color code: white for right arm, black for left arm, red for left leg, green for right leg, and brown for the chest lead. The gray TPU jacket is about 0.10 in (2.6 mm) in diameter and stays flexible and tangle-resistant through repeated cleaning. 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 5-Lead Leadwire

Reusable leadwires wear out from constant clip handling, flexing, and repeated disinfection. Replace the set when you see baseline wander or noise on one or more leads, intermittent “lead fail” alarms with good electrode contact, grabber clips that no longer hold the electrode firmly, cracked or stiff jacketing, exposed shielding, faded color coding, or a Multi-Link connector that no longer locks into the trunk cable. A failing chest lead can distort the V-lead view that ST analysis depends on, so many units replace lead sets at the first sign of wear and keep spares on hand.
