This International Standard specifies a four-pole connector system for implantable cardiac rhythm
management devices which have pacing, electrogram sensing and/or defibrillation functions. This
International Standard includes requirements for the connector portion of an implantable lead as well as for
the mating connector cavity attached to an implantable pulse generator. Essential dimensions and
performance requirements are specified together with appropriate test methods.
