CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A TOURNIQUET DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a control apparatus (4) for a tourniquet device (1), to which tourniquet device a first compression cuff (2) and/or at least one second compression cuff can be connected, wherein the compression cuffs (2) that can be connected have different volumes and the tourniquet device (1) comprises an inflation apparatus (3) for inflating the connected compression cuff (2). According to the invention, in order to present a tourniquet apparatus that enables the most efficient and in particular fast inflation of the tourniquet cuff possible and at the same time the most error-free operation of the tourniquet apparatus possible, a parameter set for controlling an inflation process of the respective compression cuff (2) is associated with each compression cuff (2) and is stored in a data memory of the control apparatus (4), wherein the parameter set associated with each compression cuff (2) depends on the volume of the compression cuff (2). The invention further relates to a method for controlling a tourniquet device and a control system for controlling a tourniquet apparatus having a tourniquet device that comprises an inflation apparatus (3) and a control apparatus (4) and having a compression cuff (2) that can be applied to a limb and connected to the inflation apparatus.
