Abstract
A medical connector and adapter system that includes: a male cable connector, and a female cable-receiving housing for electrically coupling with the male cable connector. The male cable connector has a protrusion that is adapted to slide over the wall of the female cable-receiving housing. In one embodiment, the protrusion prevents the male cable connector from mating with a female cable-receiving housing that is incorporated into the housing of a defibrillator when there is no accommodation in the defibrillator housing to receive the protrusion. Further the male cable connector is electrically connected to pediatric electrodes and enables pediatric electrodes to be used with a manual defibrillator.
