Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical treatment arrangement having at least three device parts, with the first device part being a device part which is not made for the treatment of a patient, with the second device part being made in conjunction with the third device part such that a treatment of a patient can be made with them, with the second device part being made movable relative to the first device part and relative to the third device part, and with provision furthermore being made that the first device part and the second device part and/or the second device part and the third device part being made such that energy and/or data can be unidirectionally or bidirectionally exchanged between them.

Claims

1. A medical treatment arrangement having at least three device parts, with the first device part (10) being a device part which is not made for the treatment of a patient, with the second device part (20) being made in conjunction with the third device part (30) such that a treatment of a patient can be made with them, with the second device part (20) being made movable relative to the first device part (10) and relative to the third device part (30), and with provision furthermore being made that the first device part (10) and the second device part (20) and/or the second device part (20) and the third device part (30) being made such that energy and/or data can be unidirectionally or bidirectionally exchanged between them.

2. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the first device part (10) and/or the third part (30) are made as immobile or as substantially immobile.

3. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) is made as mobile and is in particular portable and/or comprises rollers or the like by means of which it is movable.

4. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) is made in conjunction with the third device part (30) such that a blood treatment process, in particular a dialysis process and preferably a hemodialysis or a peritoneal dialysis, can be carried out with them.

5. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the device parts, preferably a plurality of device parts or all device parts, of the medical treatment arrangement are made such that the data transfer and/or the energy transfer between two device parts take place in a wireless or wired manner.

6. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 5, characterized in that the data transfer and/or the energy transfer takes place by induction.

7. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that at least one of the device parts, preferably a plurality of the device parts or all device parts, are made such that the transfer of data and energy takes place at the same time and/or by means of the same device.

8. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) has a separate energy supply, in particular an accumulator, and/or has a separate memory for the storage of data.

9. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) does not have a separate energy supply;

and/or in that the second device part (20) has one or more non-volatile memories for the storage of data.

10. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) has means by means of which an emergency energy supply of the first device part (10) or of the third device part (30) takes place by means of the second device part (20) in the case of a failure of the energy supply of the first device part (10) or of the third device part (30).

11. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) has a memory in which treatment data relating to the treatment of the patient and/or data relating to elements inserted into the second device part (20) and/or into the third device part 30), preferably disposables such as bags or other containers, filters, hose systems, treatment cassettes, are storable or stored.

12. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that means are provided which are made such that data stored in the second device part (20) are transmitted to the first device part (10) and/or to the third device part (30) or are received by them when they are approached.

13. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that test means are provided which are made such that the data transmitted by the second device part (20) to the first device part (10) or to the third device part (30) are subjected to a test.

14. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 13, characterized in that decision means are provided which are made such that a decision is made with reference to the result of the test carried out in the test means as to whether a treatment is carried out or not.

15. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that disposables are inserted in the second device part (20) and/or in the third device part (30) which are provided with readable markings or the like.

16. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 15, characterized in that the marking is a 2D matrix, a barcode or an RFID tag.

17. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the first device part (10) and/or the second device part (20) and/or the third device part (30) has/have marks, preferably via electronic labels, by means of which the respective device parts themselves and/or the belonging of a device part to another device part can be identified.

18. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the first device part (10) and/or the second device part (20) and/or the third device part (30) has/have one or more indication devices and/or input devices, in particular displays.

19. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 17, characterized in that the display is a TFT (LCD), OLED or e-paper display.

20. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the second device part (20) has at least one tank for the reception of a fresh treatment fluid and/or of a used treatment fluid and/or for the reception of substitution fluid.

21. A medical treatment arrangement in accordance with claim 20, characterized in that the first device part (10) and/or the third device part (30) has/have means by means of which the tank of the second device part (20) can be filled and/or emptied.
