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