The subject device are intended for use only by trained healthcare professionals for measurement of a patient's ECG for both diagnostic and monitoring purposes. Use is limited by the indications for use of the connected monitoring or diagnostic equipment. These leadwires are intended for short-term use only (an average patient stay of 5 days).
Device Story
Unimed Disposable ECG Lead Wires are single-patient-use cables designed to transmit cardiac signals from surface electrodes to ECG recorders/monitors. The system links the patient to compatible trunk cable systems via grabber or snap-style distal connectors and a common proximal header. Used in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals for short-term monitoring (average 5-day stay). The device facilitates continuous ECG signal acquisition, enabling healthcare providers to monitor cardiac activity and make diagnostic decisions. Benefits include reliable signal transmission for patient monitoring while maintaining compatibility with existing clinical infrastructure.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance verified against ANSI/AAMI EC53, ANSI/AAMI EC13, and FDA guidance for electrode lead wires. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (irritation/hypersensitivity).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PA66, PVC, ABS. Construction: Flexible shielded multi-conductor electrical cable with shielded copper leadwire and polymer jacket. Connectivity: Compatible with MultiLink yoke design. Sterilization: Supplied non-sterile; not intended for reprocessing. Standards: IEC 60601-1, ANSI/AAMI EC53, ISO 10993-5/10.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring cardiac signals for diagnostic and monitoring purposes in patients requiring ECG measurement. Use is limited by the connected monitoring or diagnostic equipment.
Regulatory Classification
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.

## 8. Comparison to predicate device
{5}------------------------------------------------
{6}------------------------------------------------
From the comparison form above, both devices have the same intended use ,indications for use, Anatomical Sites, Design /Appearance, Sterility, Usage, Material,Cable Construction, Wire Color& Conformance standard,have the similar cable length, Lead number& Distal connector Design item.
But in cable length, Lead number& Distal connector Design item,both devices have some difference, please see the following analysis.
# Note1 Cable Length
The subject devices is longter than philips unit,but unimed units meet the requirements of EC53 and IEC60601-1, so this difference does not bring any safety and effectiveness problem.
# Note2 Lead number
The subject devices have 6 lead type which fit the clinical use. Meanwhile the subject units meet the requirements of EC53 and IEC60601-1, so this difference also does not bring any safety and effectiveness problem.
## Note3 Distal connector Design
In this item,the suject device have grabber type and snap type ,which is more suitable for clinical use.Futhermore, the subject devices meet the requirements of EC53 and IEC60601-1, so this difference also does not bring any safety and effectiveness problem.
## 9. Performance data
The subject device meets the following the recognized standards:
- ANSI/ANMM EC53-1995 (R)2001, R(2008) ECG Cables and Leadwires (except4.3.1)
