Patent Images
1. A device for medical provision of a patient, comprising:
- a medical unit movable relative to a patient bed;
a position sensor that records the position of the medical unit;
a supervision unit in communication with the position sensor that monitors the movement of the medical unit and generates a warning signal if a distance between the medical unit and an obstacle is near collision; and
a guidance device that controls the movement of the medical unit via a user input, comprising a user operated guidance element that exerts a vibratory warning force perceivable in a tactile manner by the user based on the warning signal from the supervision unit, wherein the vibration amplitude increases as the distance between the medical unit and the obstacle decreases.

Abstract
An x-ray arm of an x-ray system is controlled with the aid of a joystick. If there is a threat of a collision between the x-ray arm and an obstacle, for example a patient bed, a force is exerted on the guide element which generates a warning signal perceptible in a tactile manner, which indicates to the user the danger of a collision.

8. A medical examination device, comprising:
-
an patient examination table that supports a medical patient; a medical unit that is movable relative to the examination table and provides or assists in providing a medical procedure; a position sensor that records the position of the medical unit; a supervision unit in communication with the position sensor that monitors the movement of the medical unit and generates a warning signal if the distance between the medical unit and an obstacle is near collision; and a guidance device that controls the movement of the medical unit via a user input, comprising a user operated guidance element that exerts a vibratory warning force perceivable in a tactile manner by the user based on the warning signal from the supervision unit, and applies a control signal generated by the guidance element to the monitoring device, wherein the vibration amplitude increases as the likelihood of a collision with an obstacle increases. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
