A universal DIN leadwire system including adapters and a leadwire combiner that is configurable for use with EKG and ECG monitoring and event recording equipment having specially configured yoke assemblies is disclosed. Disposable standardized DIN leadwire subassemblies are provided such that leadwires are always immediately available for use with virtually any EKG and ECG monitoring and event recording equipment found in the health care field. Individual DIN leadwires are combined and electrically connected to a combiner. The combiner includes a connectable end having projecting electrical connectors fabricated in conformance with acceptable electrical standards for such equipment. Various adapters provide an interface between the universal combiner and a specific make and/or model of EKG or ECG monitoring and/or event recording instrument. Each adapter has an end configured for mating electrical connection with the universal combiner leadwire subassembly. Each adapter further includes an opposing end having projecting electrical connectors that have been configured by size, shape, number, key configuration, location etc. for mating engagement with the yoke assembly of a particular make or model EKG or ECG monitoring and/or event recording instrument.
