Executive Summary
LEAD WIRE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS SHOULD FOCUS ON APNEA, ECG MONITORS, a spokesman for the Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI) recommended at an FDA conference on patient cables and lead wires. "If regulatory action is taken, a too-broad approach is going to water down the hospitals' attempts to address this problem in their own facilities," said Mark Bruley, director of ECRI's accident and forensic investigation group.
