Реферат: A system (100) for assisting regulated depth insertion of an implantable lead (60) into the heart muscle of a subject, wherein the lead (60) is configured for transmission of electrical signals, the system (100) comprising: an adapter (30) having a distal (10) end and a proximal (12) end comprising: an adapter distal connector (32) configured for dismountable mechanical and electrical attachment to a lead proximal connector (62) of the implantable lead (60), wherein the adaptor distal connector (32) is configured to mechanically attach in fixed rotational relation with respect to the lead proximal connector (62); a rotational interface (34), comprising a rotational joint (36) having a distal body (36a) rotationally attached to a proximal body (36b), the rotational interface (34) configured for conductance of electrical signals across the rotational joint (36); an adapter proximal connector (38) configured for dismountable mechanical and electrical connection to a pacing spectrum analyser (PSA) (200); the adapter (30) being configured such that: electrical signals are transmittable between a distal helical electrode (64) of the implantable lead (60) and the adapter proximal connector (38) during rotations of or induced in the distal body (36a); the rotations of or induced in the distal body (36a) change the depth of the helical electrode (64) in the heart muscle; a rotation of the adapter proximal of the rotational joint (36b through 38) is reduced or eliminated during the rotations of or induced in the distal body (36a).
