IS-4 lead to PSA interface cable
First Claim
1. A universal cable connector for detachably connecting an implanted stimulation lead to a patient system analyzer (PSA), the cable connector comprising:
- a nonconductive connector block configured to releasably receive and hold fixed a proximal end of the implanted lead including at least one proximate contact electrically in continuity with a distal electrode at the distal end of the implanted lead;
a PSA cable configured to selectively electrically interconnect each proximate contact and the PSA; and
a connector mechanism configured to electrically connect the PSA cable with at least one proximate contact thereby enabling the PSA to determine the efficacy of the chosen body tissue site.

Abstract
A universal cable connector for detachably connecting a stimulation lead to a system analyzer includes a nonconductive connector block for releasably receiving and holding fixed a proximate contact electrically in continuity with a distal electrode, a cable for selectively electrically interconnecting the proximate contact and the system analyzer, and a switch mechanism for selectively connecting electrically the system analyzer cable with the proximate contact thereby enabling the system analyzer to determine the efficacy of the chosen body tissue site. The connector block includes a nest region for receiving the proximal end of the lead and the switch mechanism includes a switch contact electrically engaged with the cable and movable between a first position disengaged from an associated and selected exposed proximate contact and a second position engaged with the proximate contact for electrically connecting the distal electrode to the system analyzer.
