Use is limited by the indications for use of the connected monitoring or diagnostic equipment. Multilink Cables and Lead Wire Systems are intended to be used by trained operators in a medical professional's environment. ## Device Story Multilink Cable and Leadwire Systems function as passive conduits for transmitting ECG and RESP signals from patient surface electrodes to diagnostic or monitoring equipment. The system consists of leadwires and patient cables available in various lengths and configurations (Snap, Banana, Mactrode, or Grabber). The multi-lead design allows for individual replacement of leadwires. Radiotranslucent versions are available. The device is used in medical professional environments by trained operators. It does not perform signal processing or analysis; it serves as the physical interface between the patient and the monitoring hardware. Clinical benefit is derived from enabling the continuous or diagnostic acquisition of physiological signals for patient assessment. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. ## Technological Characteristics Passive patient transducer and electrode cables. Available in multiple lengths and lead sets with Snap, Banana, Mactrode, or Grabber terminations. Includes radiotranslucent options. Complies with voluntary standards for safety and performance. ## 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 Cable and Leadwire Systems ([K980582](/device/K980582.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Multilink Cables and Leadwires are part of the GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies line of supplies and accessories used to transmit
patient ECG and RESP signals to diagnostic and monitoring equipment. The
system is designed to provide a family of leadwires that will link the patient and
patient cable system.

Leadwires are available in multiple lengths and in multiple lead sets. Patient
end terminations are available in Snap, Banana, Mactrode, or Grabber
configurations.

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. Matthias Buerger comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120.
