Respiration system and respiration apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A method for operating at least one respiration apparatus with at least one processor device to control a plurality of apparatus functions comprising at least one apparatus software program and at least one apparatus configuration with setting parameters, wherein a validity of the apparatus software and a validity of the apparatus configuration are characterized in each case by at least one version and wherein the versions are compared with one another in order to detect a version conflict between the apparatus software and the apparatus configuration, wherein, if an invalid version of the apparatus configuration and a valid version of the apparatus software are present, the setting parameters of the apparatus configuration are read and sorted into at least a first group with setting parameters that are unaffected by the version conflict and at least a second group with setting parameters that are affected by the version conflict, and wherein the setting parameters of the first group are retained and the setting parameters of the second group are sorted into at least a first class with setting parameters that are uncritical for an envisaged operation of the respiration apparatus and at least a second class with setting parameters that are critical for an envisaged operation of the respiration apparatus.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for operating a respiration apparatus and a respiration system, and also a respiration apparatus and a respiration system. The respiration system comprises a respiration apparatus and a computer software program for an external computer to operate the respiration apparatus. The respiration apparatus comprises a processor device and an apparatus software program and an apparatus configuration. The validities of the computer software, the apparatus software and the apparatus configuration are in each case characterized by a version. The versions are compared with one another to detect a version conflict. If invalid versions are present, the computer software is provided with a program component with a limit value and a plausibility rule, or the setting parameters are sorted into a first group and a second group. The setting parameters of the first group are retained.

- 17. A respiration apparatus with at least one processor device to control a plurality of apparatus functions comprising at least one apparatus software program and at least one apparatus configuration with setting parameters, wherein a validity of the apparatus software and a validity of the apparatus configuration are characterized in each case by at least one version and wherein the processor device is suitable and designed to compare the versions at least partially with one another in order to detect a version conflict between the apparatus software and the apparatus configuration, and wherein the processor device is suitable and designed to register at least one invalid version of the apparatus configuration and at least one valid version of the apparatus software and to read the setting parameters of the apparatus configuration and sort them into at least a first group with setting parameters unaffected by the version conflict and at least a second group with setting parameters affected by the version conflict and to retain the setting parameters of the first group and to sort the setting parameters of the second group into at least a first class with setting parameters that are uncritical for an envisaged operation of the respiration apparatus and at least a second class with setting parameters that are critical for an envisaged operation of the respiration apparatus.
