Medical devices, systems and methods are provided. In one embodiments, an intraluminal medical system includes a patient interface module (PIM) configured to selectively communicate with a first intraluminal device or a second intraluminal device different than the first intraluminal device. The first and second intraluminal devices are configured to obtain medical data associated with a body lumen of a patient while positioned within the body lumen. The PIM includes a first connector having a first plurality of pins respectively carrying a plurality of signals. The first intraluminal device includes a second connector configured to engage the first connector and the second intraluminal device includes a third connector configured to engage the first connector. The plurality of signals respectively carried by the first plurality of pins is configured to selectively allow electrical communication between the PIM and the first intraluminal device when the second connector engages the first connector, and between the PIM and the second intraluminal device when the third connector engages the first connector.
