Arrangement of a rack and a medical device

摘要

In an arrangement of a rack (1) and a medical device (2) to be attached to the rack (1), the rack (1) comprises a first connection element (111) and the medical device (2) comprises a second connection element (211) which in an attached state of the rack (1) and the medical device (2) is releasably connected to the first connection element (111) of the rack (1) to establish an electrical connection between the medical device (2) and the rack (1). The first connection element (111) and the second connection element (211) each comprise at least two electrical contacts (111.1, 211.1), wherein in the attached state of the rack (1) and the medical device (2) via the at least two electrical contacts (111.1, 211.1) both a low speed data connection (15, 25) and a high speed data connection (14, 24) between the medical device (2) and the rack (1) is established. Thus, an arrangement of a rack and a medical device is provided which allows for an easy attachment of the medical device to the rack by providing a secure and reliable and at the same time versatile electrical connection between the medical device and the rack.

1. An arrangement of a rack and a medical device to be attached to the rack, wherein the rack comprises a first connection element and the medical device comprises a second connection element which in an attached state of the rack and the medical device is releasably connected to the first connection element of the rack to establish an electrical connection between the medical device and the rack, wherein the first connection element and the second connection element each comprise a plurality of electrical contacts, wherein in the attached state of the rack and the medical device via the plurality of electrical contacts both a low speed data connection and a high speed data connection between the medical device and the rack is established; wherein the number of electrical contacts for the first and second connection element each comprise four electrical contacts, such that the high speed data connection uses a first pair of the four contacts to form a high speed differential transmit link for the rack to transmit high speed differential data signals to the medical device and a second pair of the four contacts to form a high speed differential receive link for the rack to receive high speed differential data signals from the medical device.
