The Masimo 4481 | Stryker 11171-000082 | ZOLL 8000-001392 Rainbow RC-4 EMS Patient Cable is a reusable 4-foot patient cable designed specifically for emergency medical services and transport monitoring applications. Built with a 20-pin rainbow connector and Kevlar®-reinforced construction, the RC-4 EMS cable connects compatible Masimo rainbow® and M-LNCS® sensors to supported monitoring systems while maintaining durability in demanding prehospital environments. The cable supports pulse oximetry and advanced rainbow monitoring applications when paired with compatible sensors and devices.
Unlike the standard Rainbow RC-4 patient cable, the EMS version incorporates Kevlar reinforcement to withstand repeated deployment, transport use, and the physical demands encountered by first responders, paramedics, and critical care transport teams. The 4-foot cable length is optimized for ambulance and transport environments where cable management is critical, while maintaining compatibility with rainbow and M-LNCS sensor families used with LIFEPAK and other Masimo-enabled monitoring platforms.
