Abstract
The present invention is a lead protection and identification system for a medical diagnostic device. Electrodes are placed on predetermined locations of a patient, and the system includes clips for attaching to the electrodes. The system identifies a lead and provides information to a user as to which one of the electrodes the lead should be connected to. Potentially dangerous signals are prevented from being inputted to a clip when the clip is not connected to an electrode and prevents the patient from being injured.
