Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables with green monitor side plug are used to connect Datex-Ohmeda 300-series leadwire sets to GE Healthcare patient monitors having green and rectangle GEEC-type 11-pin ECG connector. Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables with blue monitor side plug are used to connect GE Multi-Link leadwire sets to legacy Datex-Ohmeda patient monitors having a blue and round Nicolay-type ECG connector. ## Device Story Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables serve as physical interface components for ECG monitoring systems. Input: electrical ECG signals from patient-attached leadwire sets. Transformation: passive transmission of signals via shielded electrical cabling; specific models include internal defibrillation protection resistors. Output: electrical signal delivered to GE Healthcare patient monitors (e.g., Dash 3000/4000, Solar, TRAM, S/5 modules, Cardiocap 5). Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. The cables enable the monitor to display ECG waveforms, supporting clinical decision-making regarding cardiac status. Benefits include compatibility with legacy and current GE/Datex-Ohmeda monitoring hardware. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Device performance was verified through testing against standards including EN 60601-1, ANSI/AAMI EC53-1995, ANSI/AAMI EC13-2002, and ISO 10993 (biocompatibility). ## Technological Characteristics Reusable, non-sterile shielded electrical cables. Features include monitor-side connectors (green/rectangle GEEC-type or blue/round Nicolay-type) and yoke connectors. Some models incorporate internal defibrillation protection resistors. Compliant with ANSI/AAMI EC53 and EC13 standards. Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10. ## Regulatory Identification A patient transducer and electrode cable (including connector) is an electrical conductor used to transmit signals from, or power or excitation signals to, patient-connected electrodes or transducers. ## Predicate Devices - Multilink ECG Cables ([K980582](/device/K980582.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

These ECG trunk cables consist of connectors on each cable end and a shiclded main electrical cable. Some products also have defibrillation protection resistors inside the yoke-connector. ECG trunk cables are used to transfer the ECG signal from lead sets to a patient monitor. These ECG trunk cables have limited skin contact with a patient while ECG leadwires attached on patient chest have more continuous skin contact. Some products are used with legacy GE Medical System monitors like Dash 3000/4000, Solar, TRAM and also with the new S/5 modules like M-PRESTN. Before the patient monitor can display ECG signals on the screen, leadwire sets and electrodes are needed in addition to these trunk cables. With these trunk cables, 300-series Datex-Ohmeda ECG lead sets are needed. Other products are used with legacy Datex-Ohmeda patient monitors and modules like Cardiocap 5, Light, or M-ESTPR having a blue and round 10-pin ECG connector. With these trunk cables, Multi-I ink leadwire sets are used. Products are packed individually into a plastic bag in non-sterife condition. Package label describes product REF codes, manufacturing date, CE-mark, legal entity information and a caution *Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician". #### INTENDED USE as required by 807.92(a)(5) #### Intended use: The intended use for these trunk cables is to transmit an ECG signal from different GE Healthcare ECG leadwire sets to GE Healthcare patient monitors. #### Indication for use: Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables with green monitor side plug are used to connect Datex-Ohmeda 300-series leadwire sets to GE Healthcare patient monitors having green and rectangle GEEC-type 11-pin ECG connector. Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables with blue monitor side plug are used to connect GE Multi-Link leadwire sets to legacy Datex-Ohmeda patient monitors having a blue and round Nicolay-type ECG connector. {2}------------------------------------------------ 5043572 # SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERITICS OF DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE as required by 807.92(a)(6) The Compatibility ECG Trunk Cables (REF M1020453, M1020454, M1020541, M1020546, M1020547 and M1020563) are substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate Multilink ECG Cables (K980582).
