What Is the Spacelabs 72713 Compatible 3-Lead One-Piece ECG Cable?

The IPR Medical EC-3007RS-A is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) 3-lead one-piece ECG cable that replaces the Spacelabs 72713. Patient leads and monitor cable arrive as a single reusable unit, so setup involves one part rather than a trunk-and-leadwire pair. Snap electrode ends, limb lead placement, AHA color coding, and a defib-proof feature round out the design, which is intended for monitoring.

Compatible Monitor Models

Most of the listed compatibility is Spacelabs equipment, including select models such as the 90309, 90492, 91220 mCare 300, and Ultraview SL; the Criticare / CSI 8100 is listed as well. Because the list is long, the compatibility table on the Specifications tab is the place to confirm a match for the monitor on your floor.

Design and Construction

Three snap leads, colored RA white, LA black, and LL red under the AHA scheme, cover the limb lead configuration on a cable specified at 8.2 ft + 3.0 ft (2.5 m + 0.9 m). Beyond the defib-proof feature, the specification gives monitoring as the intended use and a reusable lifecycle, and each cable comes one per bag. Between patients, clean it as your facility protocol directs.

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

Snap ends that have loosened, so a lead pops off its electrode, are a common reason to retire a 3-lead cable. Others are a cut, cracked, or kinked jacket on any of the three leads or the main run, and bent pins or a chipped housing at the monitor end. If the trace stays noisy or lead-off alarms persist after new electrodes are placed, try a known-good cable on the same monitor; a clean trace points to the old cable.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

OEM part 72713 from Spacelabs is the number this cable replaces. A Spacelabs number that refers to a trunk cable alone is not included, since it identifies a different product. Aftermarket equivalents appear brand by brand on the Specifications tab, in the Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers table.
