Abstract[English]
A trial medical device includes one or more lead couplers, each comprising at least one retention feature, wherein the at least one retention feature of a lead coupler is configured to retain a proximal electrical contact of a medical lead or lead extension and impede movement of the proximal electrical contact from exiting the at least one retention feature after placement of the medical lead or lead extension in the one or more lead couplers. The trial medical device further includes stimulation or sensing circuitry configured to at least one of deliver electrical stimulation via a distal electrical contact of the medical lead or lead extension or receive sensed signals via the distal electrical contact of the medical lead or lead extension.[French]
Un dispositif médical d'essai comprend un ou plusieurs coupleurs de dérivation, chacun comprenant au moins un élément de retenue, l'au moins un élément de retenue d'un coupleur de dérivation étant conçu pour retenir un contact électrique proximal d'un conducteur médical ou d'une extension de conducteur et empêcher le mouvement du contact électrique proximal de sortir de l'au moins un élément de retenue après la mise en place du conducteur médical ou de l'extension de conducteur dans le ou les coupleurs de dérivation. Le dispositif médical d'essai comprend en outre un circuit de stimulation ou de détection configuré pour au moins administrer une stimulation électrique par l'intermédiaire d'un contact électrique distal du conducteur médical ou de l'extension de conducteur ou recevoir des signaux détectés par l'intermédiaire du contact électrique distal du conducteur médical ou de l'extension de conducteur.
