Abstract:

The connecting device comprises a patient cable with which ECG clamps may be connected to adhesive ECG electrodes to perform an extracorporeal ECG lead. For an intra-atrial ECG lead, an adapter with an ECG clamp is provided, to which adapter an ECG clamp of the patient cable may be connected. The adapter comprises a second input to which a connecting cable may be connected. The associated connector of the connecting cable is designed such that it may selectively be connected directly with an ECG clamp without the adapter being provided.
