Method for automatic identification of medical equipment components

摘要

The method involves using a contact energy and data transmission system which has a read write data element (33) that is attached to the medical equipment (30). This may be communicated with remotely (32) by a read write system that performs the identification. This is connected to some form of monitor or controller (15). The system in the components and in a separate device transfer parameter identified data between the data carrier of the components and the device, in both directions. The components are positioned near the device. An identification process is then enabled in which contact of an identification inquiry signal from the device for transfer via the system. The identification parameter is then received and registered via the answer signal in the device.
