Abstract
The present disclosure involves a medical device. The medical device includes an elongate cable assembly having a distal connector, a proximal connector, and a cable body coupling the proximal and distal connectors. The distal connector is configured for coupling with a diagnostic medical device. The proximal connector is configured for coupling with a medical measurement system. An electronic component is located inside the distal connector or the associated cable housing. The electronic component includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a microprocessor. The ADC is configured to receive medical data gathered by the diagnostic medical device and convert the medical data into digital signals. The microprocessor is coupled to an output of the ADC and configured to process the digital signals into a format that is readable by the medical measurement system.
