CAP FOR AN IMPLANTABLE ELECTRICAL LEAD ASSEMBLY

摘要

A cap for an implantable medical device electrical connector lead assembly and methods of use. A cap for protecting an electrical connector lead assembly of an implantable medical device is disclosed. The cap includes a body defined by a mating surface and a non-mating surface. The mating surface is adapted for electrically insulating engagement with an electrical connector lead assembly of an implantable medical device. The cap includes a body having a mating surface and an electrical network disposed therein. The electrical network includes first and second contacts exposed at the mating surface, a first circuit element, and two conductive pathways connecting the contacts to the circuit element. The body is configured to mate with the electrical connector lead assembly such that each contact conductively engages a corresponding contact of the electrical connector lead assembly when the cap and electrical connector lead assembly are mated.

主权项

1. A cap for protecting an electrical connector lead assembly of an implantable medical device, the cap comprising:
a body having (1) a mating surface configured to receive at least a portion of the electrical conductor lead assembly of the implantable medical device and to electrically insulate a plurality of contacts of the electrical conductor lead assembly of the implantable medical device, and (2) a non-mating surface; and an electrical network disposed within the body.
