What Is the 989803143181 Compatible 3-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable?

The IPR Medical EC-3005RG-A is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) 3-lead one-piece ECG cable that replaces OEM part 989803143181. In a one-piece design the leads and the main cable form a single assembly, so there is no separate leadwire set to pair with it. This reusable cable is set up for limb lead monitoring, finishes each lead in a grabber/pinch electrode end, and is listed as defib-proof.

Compatible Monitor Models

The model list behind this cable is extensive, and most of it belongs to the original equipment manufacturer; those entries are shown in full in the Compatible Monitor Models table on the Specifications tab. Outside that group, the table names the Smiths Medical / BCI SurgiVet V9200 and the Konsung Aurora 12s, together with select Solaris, Welch Allyn, Newtech, and Nihon Kohden models such as the NT3C, Propaq Encore 206EL, NT3A, and NT3B. It is worth confirming your exact model there before you buy.

Design and Construction

The EC-3005RG-A carries three limb leads, and each one ends in a grabber/pinch connection that grips the electrode. Following the AHA color code, the leads are RA white, LA black, and LL red. Its length is specified as 8.2 ft + 3.0 ft (2.5 m + 0.9 m), and the cable has a defib-proof feature for monitoring use. Between patients, clean the cable as your facility protocol directs; it is reusable and comes packed one per bag.

When to Replace Your 3-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable

A grabber whose jaws no longer close firmly on the electrode is one of the clearest signs that this cable is due for replacement. Others include a jacket that is cracked, cut, or kinked anywhere along the main cable or the leads, bent pins or a damaged housing at the monitor connector, and lead-off alarms or noisy traces that come and go as the patient moves. Before ordering, biomedical staff can rule the monitor in or out by running the same patient setup through a second, known-good cable.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

OEM part 989803143181 is the primary reference for the EC-3005RG-A. OEM numbers 989803160731, M1981A, and M1970A cross-reference to the same cable, and two Comen numbers, 040-000914-00 and A3105-EC1, are on record as well. Aftermarket equivalents round out the Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers table on the Specifications tab, where every number sits under its own brand.
