Physical cable lead identifier for medical systems

摘要

In the present invention, an electrophysiology (EP) mapping or recording device for obtaining and recording information on a patient connected to the EP system includes a central processing unit (CPU), a display connected to the CPU, a catheter connected to the CPU by a catheter input module and configured to supply a physiological signal to the CPU via the input module and a catheter identification system connected between the input module catheter and the CPU. The identification system includes a driver circuit that communicates with the CPU to determine a color of a visual representation of the signal from the catheter on the display and a light source connected to the driver circuit. The light source is operated by the driver circuit to emit light corresponding to the color of the representation on the display to identify the catheter in conjunction with the representation on the display.

主权项

1. A catheter identification system for associating a catheter connected to an electrophysiology (EP) recording or mapping device with a visual representation of a signal from the catheter on a display for the device, the identification system comprising:
a) a driver circuit operably connectable to the device and configured to communicate with a central processing unit of the device to determine a color of the visual representation of the signal on the display; and b) a light source operably connected to the driver circuit, wherein the light source is operated by the driver circuit to emit light corresponding to the color of the visual representation on the display.
