DEVICE WITH A DETECTABLY DESIGNED WATER TRAP AND PROCESS FOR DETECTING A WATER TRAP
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a conduit carrying a sample gas flow;
a gas sensor;
a water trap mount;
a water trap connected to said conduit and to said gas sensor, the sample gas flow being directed through said water trap to feed same to said gas sensor, said water trap being separably connected via said water trap mount for connection to and removal from the device;
a radio frequency marking associated with said water trap;
a radio frequency detection device with a detection area for detecting said radio frequency marking, wherein said radio frequency detection device detects said radio frequency marking in said detection area and generates a marking signal, which represents marking information; and
a control unit controlling the device as a function of the marking signal.

Abstract
A device with a water trap. The device has a gas sensor and is designed to send a gas sample flow through the water trap (2) and to feed it to the gas sensor (3). The water trap (2) is designed to be separably connected to the device. The device has a mount for connection to the water trap. The water trap (2) has a radio frequency marking (5). The device has a radio frequency detection device (6) with a detection area (7) for the radio frequency marking, which is designed to detect the radio frequency marking in the detection area and to generate a marking signal, which represents marking information of the radio frequency marking. The device is designed to be controlled as a function of the marking signal.

8. A water trap for a respiration device, the water trap comprising:
-
a container with gas connections; and a radio frequency marking, which represents as marking information at least an intended duration of use of the water trap.

9. A process for a device having a separably connected water trap, the process comprising the steps of:
-
providing the water trap with a radio frequency marking; detecting the radio frequency marking of the water trap and detecting marking information representing the radio frequency marking; generating a marking signal representing the marking information; starting a time counter for incrementing a time value as a function of the marking signal; generating a run signal depending on whether a predetermined time value has been reached; and controlling the device as a function of the run signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
