Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A catheter is disclosed comprising: a connector including a plurality of first contacts and one or more second contacts; a shaft including a plurality of electrodes, each electrode being coupled to a different one of the plurality of first contacts; a memory coupled to at least one of the second contacts, wherein the memory is configured to: store a pinout map identifying an order in which the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the plurality of first contacts; and provide the pinout map to an external device via one or more of the second contacts after the connector is coupled to the external device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A catheter, comprising: a connector including a plurality of first contacts and one or more second contacts laterally spaced therefrom; a shaft including a plurality of electrodes, each electrode being coupled to a different one of the plurality of first contacts; and a memory coupled to at least one of the one or more second contacts, wherein the memory is configured to: store a pinout map identifying an order in which the plurality of electrodes has been coupled to the plurality of first contacts, wherein the catheter is configured so that any electrode can be coupled to any first contact while maintaining usability; and provide the pinout map to an external device via one or more of the second contacts after the connector is coupled to the external device. 2. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the plurality of first contacts in a random order that is identified by the pinout map to ensure usability of the catheter. 3. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the plurality of first contacts in a non-standard order that is identified by the pinout map to ensure usability of the catheter. 4. The catheter of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of channels coupled to a respective one of the plurality of electrodes, wherein each of the plurality of electrodes is configured to deliver a signal to a respective one of the plurality of channels. 5. The catheter of claim 4 , wherein the pinout map includes a plurality of portions, each portion identifying a different electrode and the respective one of the plurality of channels at which the signal delivered by the electrode is received. 6. The catheter of claim 4 , wherein the pinout map includes a plurality of portions, each portion identifying a different electrode and respective first contact which the electrode is coupled to. 7. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the memory is further configured to receive the pinout map via the at least one of the one or more second contacts. 8. The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the pinout map includes a plurality of mappings, each mapping identifying a different one of the plurality of electrodes and the first contact the electrode is coupled to.
