Abstract

A medical patient device having a medical measurement unit for detecting and processing analysis-specific signals, a computer unit, a user interface, a configuration data interface for receiving configuration files and having a memory unit, wherein the medical patient device is arranged and adapted so that by means of the user interface, a user can load configuration files into the patient device via the configuration data interface and store them in the memory unit, and can configure the user interface by accessing the downloaded configuration files stored in the memory unit.

Claims

1. A medical patient device, comprising:

a medical measurement unit for detecting and processing analysis-specific signals;

a computer unit;

a user interface; and

,

a configuration data interface for receiving configuration files, the configuration data interface having a memory unit,

wherein the medical patient device is arranged and adapted so that by means of the user interface, a user can load configuration files into the patient device via the configuration data interface and store the configuration files in the memory unit, and can configure the user interface by accessing the downloaded configuration files stored in the memory unit.

2. The medical patient device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the configuration data interface is a wireless interface.

3. The medical patient device as claimed in claim 1, wherein configuring of the user interface comprises graphical/optical configuration of a display unit of the user interface.

4. The medical patient device as claimed in claim 1, wherein configuring of the user interface comprises acoustic configuration of a loudspeaker unit of the user interface.

5. The medical patient device as claimed in claim 1, wherein configuring is carried out by assigning a configuration file to a measurement value interval.

6. The medical patient device as claimed in claim 1, wherein configuring is carried out by means of files which contain moving pictures.

7. A patient system comprising a medical patient device as claimed claim 1, further comprising

a database containing configuration files, wherein a connection between the medical patient device and the database is set up via the configuration data interface of the medical patient device, such that one or more configuration files can be loaded from the database into the medical patient device and stored therein.

8. The patient system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the database is on a hard drive of a portable recording device.

9. The patient system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the database is on a stationary hard drive memory.

10. The patient system as claimed in claim 7, wherein the database can be connected to via a data network.

12. A computer program for controlling a medical patient device, wherein a computer program comprises program code which enables a user, by means of the user interface, to load configuration files into the patient device via the configuration data interface and store them in the memory unit, and to configure the user interface by accessing the downloaded configuration files stored in the memory unit, when the computer program is run on a computer unit of the medical patient device.

11. The patient system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the data network is a LAN, an intranet, or the Internet.

13. The computer program as claimed in claim 12, which is stored on a computer-readable medium.
