An implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart. In operation, the device performs the following steps: a) sensing an atrial electric signal a the first detection unit; b) sensing an electric signal at the His bundle with a second detection unit upon termination of a first time period starting upon sensing the atrial electric signal with the first detection unit and/or starting upon applying a stimulation pulse, wherein the first time period lies in a range of from 10 ms to 100 ms; c) classifying the electric signal sensed with the second detection unit as His bundle activity signal or as ventricular activity signal.

A programming device for programming an implantable medical device for stimulating a human or animal heart, wherein the programming device carries out the steps: a) allowing to select one of at least two electrode lead configurations for stimulating a heart, wherein the at least two electrode lead configurations comprise: i) a first electrode lead in which an atrial electrode lead and a right ventricular electrode lead are connected to electrode lead ports, and ii) a second electrode lead in which an atrial electrode lead and a His bundle electrode lead are connected to electrode lead ports; b) allowing to select a first timing parameter value if the first electrode lead is selected and to select a second timing parameter value if the second electrode lead is selected, wherein the first timing parameter value is an atrioventricular interval and the second timing parameter value is an atrial-His interval.

An implantable medical device for stimulating a human/animal heart having a stimulation unit which stimulates the His bundle and a detection unit which detects an electrical signal at the His bundle. The device performs: a) determining a first value of a parameter of a first measuring pulse measured between a first electrode pole and a housing; b) determining a second value of the same parameter of a second measuring pulse measured between the first electrode pole and a second electrode pole; c) comparing the first and second values; d) determining, based on the comparing step, whether the first or second measuring pulses enables a higher available level control range of the analog-to-digital converter; e) measuring an impedance in a unipolar manner between the first electrode pole and the housing or in a bipolar manner between the first electrode pole and the second electrode pole depending on the determining step.

An electrical plug connector terminates a twisted pair electrical cable. The electrical plug connector includes a base and a plug housing holding electrical contacts therebetween. The base includes a divider structure including separation walls. At least one of the separation walls defines an abutment surface against which a forward end of the electrical cable abuts when terminated by the electrical plug connector. The plug housing defines slots so that the electrical contacts are accessible. The electrical plug connector axially secures an outer jacket of the electrical cable against rearward movement relative to base. The at least one separation wall inhibits forward axial movement of the outer jacket of the electrical cable relative to the base.

A camlock electrical connector has a first connector member with a bottom platform having an opening and an upstanding wall. Pin elements extend outwardly from the wall and a cable connector extends outwardly from and externally of the wall. A second connector member has a connector body with a fulcrum peg extending downwardly from the body. The peg is inserted into the opening in the platform, such that the second connector member is rotatable in relation to the first connector member. When electrical wiring is positioned between the wall of the first connector and the body of the second connector member, rotation of the second connection member and its peg in relation to the first connection member causes the pin elements to pierce the electrical wiring, thereby securing the wiring to the electrical connector.

A port configuration identification system includes a base. A port configuration identification information surface is included on the base and includes port configuration identification information corresponding to a port configuration available for a port on a computing device. A computing device coupling feature is included on the base and is configured to couple to the computing device to secure the base relative to the computing device and adjacent the port such that the port configuration identification information surface is positioned adjacent the port.

A patch panel assembly, bezel and modular jacks are disclosed which allow modular jacks to be positioned closer together to increase patch panel density. In particular the modular jacks are equipped with features which engage openings which are offset, allowing for the modular jacks to be positioned closer together, in particular when arranged in adjacent parallel rows.

Systems, devices and methods are described for connecting multiple electrical connectors as a group with corresponding receiving sockets, or connection ports, in a medical device. A multiple electrical connector plate acts as an intermediate connector for quickly engaging or disengaging a group of electrodes with the corresponding device as a single unit. The connection plate includes multiple sections that allow a connector to be snapped securely in place on the connection plate such that the connector does not pull or push free from its snapped in location, resulting in group handling of electrical connectors that is less time consuming, reduces errors and positively impacts the quality of medical care.

The invention relates to a labeling profile for marking electrical installations, comprising a labeling region which has a cover surface to be labeled, and comprising a support region which connects to the labeling region facing away from the cover surface, wherein, when viewed in a cross-section transverse to the longitudinal extension, at least sections of the support region have a smaller width than the labeling region, wherein the labeling profile has a constant cross-section when viewed along its longitudinal extension and wherein the labeling profile has spaced-apart, optically detectable position markers on at least one surface facing away from the cover surface, wherein intermediate regions are formed between the position markers and wherein the position markers have in particular reflective properties which differ from the intermediate regions.
