Abstract:
A medical device assembly comprises a medical device comprising a shaft having proximal and distal end portions. The device further comprises a sensor at the distal end portion of the shaft that comprises first and second leads extending therefrom to the proximal end portion of the shaft. The device further comprises an electromechanical connector having a plurality of connection points at a first end thereof. First and second of the connection points are electrically connected to the first and second sensor leads, respectively. The connector further comprises an error loop segment electrically coupled to third and fourth connection points. The error loops segment assists in forming a compensation loop that can be used to correct for magnetic noise.

Claim (Index 12):
A system for outputting a compensated sensor signal of a medical device comprising:\n the medical device comprising a sensor coupled to a sensor twisted pair and configured to transmit a first sensor signal, wherein the sensor twisted pair extends through a portion of the medical device and is coupled to a device connector, the device connector further comprising a first device compensation pin, a second device compensation pin, and an error loop segment, wherein the error loop segment is electrically coupled to the first compensation pin and the second compensation pin; a cable comprising a first cable connector, a second cable connector, a cable twisted pair, and a compensation twisted pair, wherein the cable twisted pair and the compensation twisted pair are coupled to the first cable connector and to the second cable connector, wherein the first cable connector is configured to couple to the device connector, and wherein the second cable connector is configured to couple to a junction box; and the junction box comprising a sensor amplifier, a compensation amplifier, and a subtractor, wherein the sensor amplifier is configured to receive the first sensor signal transmitted by the magnetic sensor and output an amplified sensor signal to the subtractor, and wherein the compensation amplifier is configured to receive a compensation signal from the compensation twisted pair and output an amplified compensation signal to the subtractor, and wherein the subtractor is configured to derive and output a compensated signal from the amplified sensor signal and the amplified compensation signal.
