Medical system having consumables monitoring
First Claim
1. A medical system comprising a central control unit configured to display a diagnostic measured value using a display element and an invasive unit comprising an invasive consumable, wherein the invasive consumable is configured to invasively intervene in a tissue of a patient, wherein the invasive unit has a contactlessly readable electronic identifier for storing a piece of information, wherein the central control unit is set up to electronically read said piece of information in the electronic identifier, wherein the central control unit and the invasive unit are functionally independent of one another such that the central control unit has a function which can be used by the user without the presence of the invasive unit and conversely the function of the invasive unit can be used by the user without the need for the central control unit to be present for this purpose, the respective function of the central control unit and of the invasive unit being capable of being performed independently of the presence of the respective other unit.

Abstract
The invention proposes a medical system which comprises a central control unit which is set up to display at least one diagnostic measured value using a display element. The medical system also comprises at least one invasive unit, wherein the invasive unit has at least one invasive consumable. The invasive consumable is set up to invasively intervene in a tissue of a patient. The invasive unit has at least one contactlessly readable electronic identifier for storing at least one piece of information. The central control unit is set up to electronically read the at least one piece of information in the electronic identifier. The central control unit and the invasive unit are functionally independent of one another such that the respective function of the central control unit and of the invasive unit can be performed independently of the presence of the respective other unit.

5. The medical system as claimed in claim I, wherein the invasive unit further comprises a unit selected from the group consisting of:
- a peripheral device in the form of a lancing device, wherein the lancing device is designed to perforate a skin part of a patient using an invasive consumable in the form of a lancet;
a peripheral device in the form of a medication pen, wherein the medication pen is designed to inject a dose of a medicament into a patient using an invasive consumable in the form of a cannula;
a peripheral device in the form of a medication pump, wherein the medication pump is designed to inject a dose of a medicament into a patient using an invasive consumable in the form of a catheter; and
a peripheral device in the form of a measuring unit, wherein the measuring unit is designed to use an invasive consumable comprising a subcutaneous sensor implanted in a body tissue of a patient, to ascertain a concentration of an analyte, particularly a metabolite, in a body fluid.
- a peripheral device in the form of a lancing device, wherein the lancing device is designed to perforate a skin part of a patient using an invasive consumable in the form of a lancet;
-
17. A method for monitoring a medical system, comprising providing a medical system comprising a central control unit configured to display a diagnostic measured value using a display element and an invasive unit comprising an invasive consumable and a contactlessly readable electronic identifier for storing at least one piece of information;
- invasively intervening the invasive consumable in a tissue of a patient;
reading the at least one piece of information in the electronic identifier with the central control unit; and
functioning the central control unit and the invasive unit independently of one another such that the central control unit has a function which can be used by the user without the presence of the invasive unit and conversely the function of the invasive unit can be used by the user without the need for the central control unit to be present for this purpose, the respective functioning of the central control unit and of the invasive unit being performed independently of the presence of the respective other unit. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
