ABSTRACT:
A cardiac catheter testing apparatus having a support structure including a plurality of receptacles adapted to removably receive a first probe of an electrical continuity measuring device. The support structure also includes electrical contact prongs adapted to removably receive the connective end of a cardiac catheter, which catheter has at least one electrode at the end of the catheter substantially opposite the connective end. The testing apparatus also includes electrical contact elements electrically connected to the receptacles to form an electrical path between the first probe when inserted in one of the receptacles, the electrical contact elements and the signal generating electrode. A second probe is electrically connected to the electrical continuity measuring device which displays a value indicating the presence or absence of electrical continuity between the electrode and the connective end of the catheter when the second probe is brought into contact with the electrode.
