Patent ID: 7873409

Claim:
A data acquisition system in communication to receive a set of analog cardiac data from a catheter of a patient situated on a support structure, the system comprising: at least one catheter input module configured to receive the set of analog data from a patient and to convert the set of analog cardiac data to a set of digital data, wherein the catheter input module includes a plurality of connectors configured to receive analog data, and further wherein the catheter input module is configured to be physically and electrically coupled with additional catheter input modules; a mount platter removably coupled to a patient bed in close proximity to the patient, and further coupled in communication to receive the set of digital data from the at least one catheter input module, wherein the mount platter is removably coupled to the at least one catheter input module and supporting the at least one catheter input module; and a base unit coupled in communication to receive the set of digital data from the mount platter and further configured to filter and distribute the set of digital data, wherein the base unit is physically coupled to the patient bed, wherein the mount platter includes an emergency stimulator connector coupled with a STIM input and configured to provide a pulse to the catheter from the STIM input, wherein the pulse from the emergency stimulator connector is provided in the event of total system failure.
