What Is the GE 900178-001 Compatible Universal Electrode Adapter Set?

The GE 900178-001 compatible universal electrode adapter set is a set of 10 reusable adapters for resting 12-lead ECG. Each adapter connects the 4 mm banana tip of a GE leadwire to the patient’s electrode. Because the adapters are replaceable, a department can refresh worn electrode connections without replacing the whole leadwire set, and the leadwires stay protected from wear at the electrode end. This set is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to the same fit, form, and function as the OEM 900178-001 adapter set.

Compatible Equipment Models

This compatible adapter set is confirmed for use with leadwires on the GE Healthcare Marquette CAM 14, AM4, and AM5 acquisition modules. These modules capture resting 12-lead ECGs for GE MAC series electrocardiographs and related diagnostic systems. The adapters fit any leadwire set on these modules that ends in a 4 mm banana tip.

Design and Construction

Each adapter has a 4 mm banana socket that slides securely onto the leadwire tip, and a universal clip at the other end that attaches to the patient’s electrode. The 10 adapters follow the AHA color code used in US facilities and are labeled for the four limb positions (RA, LA, LL, and RL) and the six precordial positions (V1 through V6). That makes correct 12-lead placement quick and helps prevent lead reversal errors on the recorded ECG. The adapters are latex-free, non-sterile, reusable after cleaning according to facility protocol, rated for adult and pediatric use, and ship as a set of 10 in one bag.

When to Replace Your ECG Electrode Adapters

Electrode adapters take the most handling of any part of a resting ECG setup, because staff clip and unclip them on every patient. Replace the set when clips lose tension and slip off electrodes, when a banana socket no longer grips the leadwire firmly, when color bands or labels wear off, or when housings crack. Also replace them if one lead keeps showing noise, baseline wander, or lead-off messages that go away when that adapter is swapped out. Replacing a full set at once keeps the color coding and labels consistent across all 10 positions.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

This compatible universal electrode adapter set, IPR Medical SKU EKA-UB-10-A, cross-references to GE Healthcare Marquette part number 900178-001. It also interchanges with Pacific Medical NLGE9904 and Sage Services Group UP10-CS. Materials managers and purchasing staff can use any of these numbers to confirm the match against existing inventory, work orders, or requisitions.
