Abstract: A console may receive signals from one or more components of the medical system over an input/out (I/O) interface. The console may process the received signals into one or more packets and transmit the one or more packets over a first interface. The console may identify an origin of the one or more packets. The console may monitor time intervals between the one or more packets to determine a connection status of the one or more components. The console may parse each of the one or more packets into a packet header and data and inspect the data for errors. The console may transmit an indication of the connection status and an indication of errors to a display over a second interface. The display may indicate the connection status and the presence of errors using one or more display schemes.

Abstract: Medical catheterization is carried out by receiving a plurality of analog bioelectric signals in respective channels and multiplexing the bioelectric signals in respective selection events. The selection events consist of making a first connection with a reference voltage, thereafter breaking the first connection and making a second connection with one of the bioelectric signals. The method is further carried out by outputting the multiplexed bioelectric signals to an analog-to-digital converter.

Abstract: A system and method of filtering input data to remove power line interference is disclosed. The system and method estimates the statistics of the input signal and include determining a value (R) from the ratio of a peak amplitude (Apeak) and a root-mean-square of the amplitudes of the interference harmonics (Arms), calculate a running histogram of the determined value (R) to determine a threshold value (THR), comparing the determined value (R) to the determined threshold value (THR) to make a decision about feature existence, and outputting a feature decision. The system and method include estimating the interference level to determine if interference is low level or high level. The system and method include estimating interference using the feature detection, amplitude and phase; and removing the estimated interference from the signal to result in a signal substantially free of power line interference.

Abstract: Described embodiments include an apparatus that includes an intrabody catheter and a distal handle-piece connected to the intrabody catheter. The distal handle-piece includes a distal-handle-piece connector configured to reversibly electrically couple the distal handle-piece to a proximal handle-piece via a proximal-handle-piece connector of the proximal handle-piece, such that the proximal handle-piece and the distal handle-piece are held adjacent to one another. Other embodiments are also described.
