Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, systems, and methods for positioning electrodes within a body. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus for slidably moving multiple features relative to a sheath inserted into a body and positioned relative to a reference point includes a primary actuator configured to move a primary electrode, a secondary actuator configured to move a secondary electrode, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism is configured to selectively prevent movement of at least one of the primary actuator based on a position of the secondary actuator and of the secondary actuator based on a position of the primary actuator and lock positions of the primary actuator and the secondary actuator.

Abstract: A first electrical connector of an interface is provided on a floating plug assembly mounted on one component of a physiological instrument. A second electrical connector of the interface is mounted in a socket assembly constructed in another component that can be coupled to the first component by relative linear translation. Guides located in the socket assembly capture fingers on the plug assembly as the plug assembly is inserted in the socket assembly. The guides orient the plug assembly so that the first connector is correctly aligned with the second connector. The connectors are automatically joined as the first component is coupled to the second component.

Abstract: A bifurcated electrical connector (14) includes a precordial lead connection site (18) and a limb lead connection site (16). A precordial connector (26) can be fitted into the precordial lead connection site (18) and a limb lead connector (32) can be fitted into the limb lead assembly connection site (16). The force required to separate the limb lead connector from the limb lead connection site is greater than the force required to separate the precordial lead connector from the precordial lead connection site. Additionally, a cover flap (75) covers the precordial lead connection site when the precordial electrodes are not in use.

Abstract: A mechanical connector (10) for securing together an electrocardiogram monitor (12) and a defibrillator (14). The connector includes a tongue (16) disposed on a side surface (18) of the ECG monitor and a set of angle flanges (22) disposed on the defibrillator. A keyway (52) extends lengthwise at a rearward portion of a channel (36) between the tongue (16) and the side surface (18). A key (50) fits within the keyway (52) when the tongue (16) is slid within the set of angle flanges (22). The key (50) prevents the defibrillator from being fully coupled with an ECG monitor that lacks the corresponding keyway.
