A 12-channel ECG cable is the patient cable used to connect an ECG machine to the patient’s electrodes and record a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
Main features
Usually has 10 electrode connections:
4 limb electrodes: RA, LA, RL, LL
6 chest electrodes: V1–V6.
Connects to the ECG machine through a machine-specific connector.
Transmits the heart’s electrical signals from the electrodes to the ECG device.
Used for 12-lead ECG recording, which helps assess heart rhythm, rate, conduction abnormalities, and signs of cardiac problems.
