CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A TOURNIQUET DEVICE
First Claim
1. Control apparatus for a tourniquet device, to which a first compression cuff and/or at least a second compression cuff can be connected, wherein the connectable compression cuffs have different volumes, and the tourniquet device comprises an inflation apparatus for the inflation of the connected compression cuff, wherein each compression cuff is correlated with a parameter set for the control of an inflation process of the individual compression cuff that is stored in a data storage unit of the control apparatus, wherein the parameter set correlated with each compression cuff is dependent on the volume of the compression cuff.

Abstract
A control apparatus for a tourniquet device, to which tourniquet device a first compression cuff and/or at least one second compression cuff can be connected, with the compression cuffs having different volumes. The tourniquet device has an inflation apparatus for inflating the connected compression cuff. In order to present a tourniquet apparatus that enables the most efficient and in particular fast inflation of the tourniquet cuff possible and at the same time the most error-free operation of the tourniquet apparatus possible, a parameter set for controlling an inflation process of the respective compression cuff is associated with each compression cuff and is stored in a data memory of the control apparatus. The parameter set associated with each compression cuff depends on the volume of the compression cuff. A method for controlling a tourniquet device and a control system for controlling a tourniquet apparatus having a tourniquet device that has an inflation apparatus and a control apparatus and having a compression cuff that can be applied to a limb and connected to the inflation apparatus.

- 1. Control apparatus for a tourniquet device, to which a first compression cuff and/or at least a second compression cuff can be connected, wherein the connectable compression cuffs have different volumes, and the tourniquet device comprises an inflation apparatus for the inflation of the connected compression cuff, wherein each compression cuff is correlated with a parameter set for the control of an inflation process of the individual compression cuff that is stored in a data storage unit of the control apparatus, wherein the parameter set correlated with each compression cuff is dependent on the volume of the compression cuff.
- 2. Method for the control of a tourniquet device with a control apparatus (4), wherein a first compression cuff and/or at least a second compression cuff can be connected to the tourniquet device, wherein the connectable compression cuffs have different volumes, and an inflation apparatus is provided for the inflation of the connected compression cuff, wherein each compression cuff is correlated with a parameter set for the control of an inflation process of the individual compression cuff that is stored in a data storage unit of the control apparatus, wherein the parameter set correlated with each compression cuff is dependent on the volume of the compression cuff.
- 14. Control system for the control of a tourniquet apparatus with a tourniquet device that has an inflation apparatus and a control apparatus, and with a compression cuff that can be placed on a limb and that can be connected to the inflation apparatus, wherein a detection mechanism is provided with which the control apparatus detects the size and/or the volume of the compression cuff if the compression cuff is connected to the inflation apparatus, wherein the control apparatus controls the inflation apparatus for the inflation of the compression cuff using a parameter set that is correlated with the size and/or the volume of the connected compression cuff.
