Abstract

See full text

A mechanical connector (10) for securing together an electrocardiogram monitor (12) and a defibrillator (14). The connector includes a tongue (16) disposed on a side surface (18) of the ECG monitor and a set of angle flanges (22) disposed on the defibrillator. A keyway (52) extends lengthwise at a rearward portion of a channel (36) between the tongue (16) and the side surface (18). A key (50) fits within the keyway (52) when the tongue (16) is slid within the set of angle flanges (22). The key (50) prevents the defibrillator from being fully coupled with an ECG monitor that lacks the corresponding keyway.
