Abstract
An implantable medical device that includes a header a cavity or connector bore that extends from an opening at a first end of the header towards a second end of the header. The cavity is configured to receive a first end of a stimulation lead. The header includes a lead insertion indicator positioned at the second end of the cavity for engaging with the stimulation upon complete insertion into the header. The lead insertion indicator is operable between a first operating state and a second operating state, such that when the stimulation lead is not engaged with the lead insertion indicator, the lead insertion indicator operates in the first operating state, and when the stimulation lead properly engages the lead insertion indicator, the lead insertion indicator operates in the second operating state. The lead insertion indicator generates a signal that indicates the corresponding operating state.
