    There are several of the sub-standards that may apply to an ECG monitor.

    60601-2-25 Specification for electrocardiographs
    60601-2-27 elctrocardiographic monitoring equipment (as identified by Ronen)
    60601-2-49 multifunction patient monitoring equipment
    60601-2-51 recording and analysing electrocardiographs

    To decide which of these is most appropriate find them in the IEC webstore (Ronen's link) and use the "Preview" button to have a look at the first few pages of each standard. That will include the "Scope" of the standard from which the applicability of each standard may be ascertained.

    To add to the Part 2 Particular standard you will also need:-

    60601-1 General
    60601-1-2 EMC
    60601-1-6 / 62366 Usability
    60601-1-8 Alarms
    60601-1-11 Equipment for use in a home healthcare environment (if applicable)
    60601-1-12 Equipment intended for use in the emergency medical services environment (ambulances etc) (if applicable)
