Pin Number Function
1 to 5 These pins are optimized for transport of ECG (EKG) signals and use
shielded cabling that maximizes the signal-to-noise ratio. An off-the-
shelf ECG monitor may be connected to this connector (for example,
the THM100, Indus Instruments). Pin 1 (ECG ground) in this particular
case, may be left unconnected.
6 to 9 Use these pins to connect a pulse-oxymetry system (for example, the
Nonin OEM III module (internal OEM Oxymetry), Nonin.com)
10 and 11 Use these pins to connect to an Infusion pump that you mount inside
the IVIS Spectrum imaging chamber.
