Connector Interface For ECG-Based Catheter Positioning System
First Claim
1. A connector interface designed to connect components of the catheter placement system to a location sensor of the catheter placement system, the connector interface comprising:
- a console connection interface designed for mating with a console port of the location sensor;
an electrocardiogram (ECG) connection interface designed for mating with an ECG port of the location sensor; and
a stylet connection interface designed for mating with a stylet connector recess of the location sensor,wherein the connector interface enables simultaneous mating of the console connection interface, the ECG connection interface, and the stylet connection interface to the location sensor.

Abstract
A connector interface configured to enable component interconnection with a location sensor of a catheter placement system is disclosed. The catheter placement system is configured to assist a clinician in positioning a catheter in a desired location within a body of a patient. In one embodiment, the location sensor assembly comprises a location sensor body for temporary placement on a portion of the patient body, and a connector interface. The connector interface is configured to removably attach to the location sensor and provide a plurality of electrically conductive pathways between the location sensor and additional components of the catheter placement system to enable the additional components to operably connect with the location sensor. The connector interface further includes a first connector configured to operably connect with a second connector of one of the additional components of the catheter placement system through a drape interposed between the first and second connectors.
