What Is the GE 22341809 Compatible 10-Lead EKG Trunk Cable?

The GE Healthcare 22341809 compatible 10-lead EKG trunk cable is a reusable, aftermarket patient cable for GE Marquette resting electrocardiographs. It connects to the ECG input on the cart and gives the 10 individual Multi-Link leadwires a single connection point, so the cart can acquire a standard diagnostic 12-lead ECG. Because the trunk cable and leadwires are separate, a damaged leadwire can be replaced on its own without replacing the entire patient cable. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to the same fit, form, and function as the OEM 22341809 and 2104723-001 trunk cables.

Compatible Equipment Models

This compatible trunk cable is confirmed for use with GE Marquette MAC 400, MAC 500, MAC 600, MAC 800, MAC 1000, MAC 1100, MAC 1200, MAC 1600, MAC 2000, and MAC 3500 electrocardiographs, and with the Microsmart M. These models use the DB-15 ECG input. This cable is not for the MAC 5000 or MAC 5500, which acquire through the CAM 14 module and its own interface cable, so confirm your cart model before ordering.

Design and Construction

The cable runs 8.2 ft (2.5 m) from the cart to a 10-position yoke with twin-pin sockets. Each socket accepts one GE Multi-Link diagnostic leadwire and is AHA-labeled for RA, LA, LL, RL, and V1 through V6. The cart end has a DB-15 connector that seats in the ECG input of compatible MAC electrocardiographs. The cable is defibrillation-proof, with 10K ohm protective resistors built into the signal path, which helps protect the electrocardiograph if a patient is defibrillated while connected. The gray TPU jacket is flexible and holds up to routine cleaning. The cable is latex-free, non-sterile, weighs about 0.7 lbs, and ships one per bag.

When to Replace Your MAC EKG Trunk Cable

Diagnostic trunk cables are connected and coiled many times a day in cardiology departments, clinics, and emergency areas. Replace the trunk cable when several leads show noise or “lead fail” at the same time, which suggests a fault upstream of the individual leadwires. Also replace it when the ECG looks fine at rest but drops out as the cable is moved, when the DB-15 connector no longer seats firmly or has bent pins, or when you find a cracked yoke, loose twin-pin sockets, or a split jacket. Swapping in known-good leadwires first helps confirm whether the trunk cable or a leadwire is at fault.
