A method for coupling an ECG monitor with an incompatible ECG lead set includes the steps of providing an ECG adapter including an adapter body having at least one monitor connector adapted for coupling to an input of an ECG monitor and at least one lead set receptacle adapted for coupling to a connector of an ECG lead set incompatible with the input of the ECG monitor, coupling the at least one monitor connector of the adapter body with the input of the ECG monitor and coupling the at least one lead set receptacle of the adapter body with the connector of the ECG lead set to thereby electrically couple the ECG lead set with the ECG monitor.

ECG lead set and ECG adapter system

A biomedical electrode connector for coupling with a biomedical electrode of the type including an electrode base and a male terminal projecting from the electrode base is provided. The electrode connector includes a jacketed housing having an internal cavity with an electrical contact material adapted for electrical coupling relation with an electrical lead wire. The jacketed housing includes a lower member positionable adjacent the electrode and having internal surface portions defining a keyhole slot therein. The keyhole slot has a first slot portion defining a first internal dimension to permit passage of the male terminal of the electrode for reception within the internal cavity, and a second slot portion defining a second internal dimension less than the first dimension whereby, upon traversing movement of the male terminal within the internal cavity, the male terminal is secured within the internal surface portions defining the second slot portion to thereby electrically couple the electrode with the electrode connector.
