ABSTRACT:
A cardiac rhythm management apparatus and system may include a first contact to provide a connection signal, a second contact to sense a corresponding connection signal using a lead and an electrode coupled to the second contact, a measurement module capable of being communicatively coupled to the first and second contacts to measure a characteristic associated with the connection signal, a comparison module to determine whether the lead is of a preselected type, and an indicator module to indicate the comparison result. An article may cause a machine to implement a method which includes providing a connection signal from one contact, measuring a characteristic associated with a corresponding connection signal at another contact, and comparing the characteristic with a range of values to determine a comparison result. The method may also include indicating and recording the comparison result.
