Patent ID: 8704530

Claim:
An adapter for testing pacing thresholds of an implanted lead with a testing device, the testing device having a first testing device connector and a second testing device connector, the lead including a plurality of electrodes at a lead distal end electrically coupled to a plurality of connector contacts at a lead proximal end, the adapter comprising: a main body including a plurality of adapter contacts, the plurality of adapter contacts configured to electrically couple to the plurality of connector contacts; a connector module including a first port configured to couple to the first testing device connector of the testing device and a second port configured to couple to the second testing device connector of the testing device; and a switch assembly including a plurality of actuatable elements each associated with one of the adapter contacts, the plurality of actuatable elements each selectably actuatable between three different actuation positions respectively corresponding to a first state, a second state, and a third state, the first state electrically coupling the associated adapter contact to the first port, the second state electrically coupling the associated adapter contact to the second port, and the third state electrically decoupling the associated adapter contact from the first and second ports.
