    a male USB data connector for connecting to an external computing device,a lead-wire set connector for connecting to the ECG lead-wire set, and non-volatile memory coupled with the male USB data connector and the lead-wire set connector, anda processor programmed to obtain ECG data from the ECG lead-wire set and store the obtained ECG data in the non-volatile memory;

    wherein the ECG lead-wire set or the data collection unit or both have one or more structural components that prevent a connection between the male USB data connector and the external computing device when the ECG lead-wire set is connected to the data collection unit and vice versa; and

    wherein the male USB connector is configured to rotate into a recess in the data collection unit; and

    when the male USB connector is rotated into the recess, the lead-wire set connector is exposed so that the lead-wire set can be connected to the data collection unit via the lead-wire set connector and the recess blocks a connection of the male USB connector to the external computing device.
