Claim Text:
1. A lead set for electro-nerve stimulation, comprising: a connector having a first port and a second port; an electrically conductive transcutaneous electrode; a first electrically conductive insulated lead wire having a first end fixedly secured to the connector and a second end fixedly secured to the electrically conductive transcutaneous electrode, the first port corresponding to the first electrically conductive insulated lead wire; an electrically conductive adaptor adapted to electrically couple with an electrically conductive percutaneous needle electrode; and a second electrically conductive insulated lead wire having a first end fixedly secured to the connector and a second end fixedly secured to the electrically conductive adaptor, the second port corresponding to the second electrically conductive insulated lead wire; the connector being a single-use connector adapted to discourage or make difficult re-use of the lead set for electro-nerve stimulation, said connector including a fuse having a functional status that is changeable during delivery of therapy after a pre-determined period of time from an operational condition to a non-operational condition wherein the non-operational condition does not prevent continued delivery of said therapy.
