ABSTRACT:
A universal cable connector includes a plurality of different sized connectors adapted to mate with the proximal connectors of different sized implantable stimulation leads. The cable connector attaches to a system analyzer and enables the system analyzer to interface with whatever implantable stimulation leads are connected to the connector block, thereby allowing the system analyzer to perform desired tests, such as threshold-determining tests, using the implanted stimulation leads. An adapter cable and clamp is also provided that allows an electrical connection of the proper polarity to be established between an implantable stimulation device, e.g., an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), and the connector block while the implantable stimulation device is connected to a patient and is operating, thereby permitting the system analyzer to monitor the performance of the implantable stimulation device.
