Apparatus and system for monitoring objects contained inside a living body
First Claim
1. Apparatus for monitoring objects contained inside a living body, including:
- at least one transmitter/receiver device which is introduceable into the living body and in which data relating to the object may be stored, wherein the data relating to the object may be written into said transmitter/receiver device and read from it contactless with the aid of an external write-read device located externally of the living body; and
at least one sensor device for monitoring the at least one temporally variable state parameter of the object and for transmitting data corresponding to a currently prevailing state to said transmitter/receiver device in accordance with a detected value of the temporally variable state parameter, wherein the data corresponding to the currently prevailing state is written into said transmitter/receiver device in response to transmission from said sensor device.
