About the Patient Cable and Leads
The patient cable processes the patient’s ECG data and transmits it to the
electrocardiograph. To make handling convenient, the ten leads are arranged to point
toward the appropriate parts of the body. The cable rake, which slides easily, prevents the
chest leads from tangling.
