Abstract
An adapter system connects to implantable electrode leads. The adapter system has the pulse generator configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses and has a first connector member. The adapter has a housing containing two receptacles. Each receptacle receives an end portion of an electrode lead to establish an electrical connection between the adapter and the electrode lead. The adapter contains a second connector member configured to engage with the first connector member to establish a mechanical connection between the housing and the pulse generator and an electrical connection between the pulse generator and the electrode lead. A test cable electrically connects the pulse generator to the electrode leads for testing the electrode leads. The test cable contains a first connector member configured to engage with the second connector member to establish an electrical connection. The test cable contains a second connector member configured to engage with the first connector member.
