1. A multipart medical engineering system comprising:
- a data read/write interface;
a position-determining connection;
two components that can be connected via said position-determining connection, at least one of said components remaining in a vicinity of a patient in a connected state and in an unconnected state of the system and at least one of said components being removed or replaced with other components in the unconnected state, said position-determining connection including a connection part of said component remaining in the vicinity of the patient in said connected state and in said unconnected state of the system and a connection part of said component being removed or replaced, said data read/write interface being mechanically integrated adjacent to or in said connection part of said components being removed or replaced; and
a data storage means, said data storage means being mechanically integrated in said connection part of said component remaining in the vicinity of the patient in said connected state and in said unconnected state of the system or mechanically integrated in said component intended to remain in the vicinity of the patient in said connected state and in said unconnected state of the system, said data storage means being written to and read from via said interface, said data storage means comprising respiration parameter data, wherein said component intended to remain at the patient includes a breathing tube system.

Abstract
A multipart medical engineering system, which comprises at least two components that can be connected via positioning-determining connection feature (410, 411). At least one component (44) is intended to remain in the vicinity of the patient in the connected and unconnected states of the system and at least one component (41) can be removed or replaced with other components in the unconnected state. The component (44) intended to remain in the vicinity of the patient contains a data storage element (45) that can be written to and read via an interface (46) that is mechanically integrated in the position-determining connection means (410, 411).

14. A multipart medical engineering system comprising:
-
a patient locale component remaining in a vicinity of a patient in both a system connected state and a system unconnected state; a removable/replaceable component that can be removed or replaced with other components in the system unconnected state; a position-determining connection providing an operative fluidic connection between said patient locale component and said removable/replaceable component to allow fluid to pass between said patient locale component and said removable/replaceable component and for fixing a region of operation of said patient locale component relative to said removable/replaceable component based on said operative fluidic connection between said patient locale component and said removable/replaceable component, said position-determining connection including a connection part connected to said patient locale component and a connection part connected to said removable/replaceable component, said connection part connected to said patient locale component remaining in the vicinity of patient in said system connected state and said system unconnected state; a data storage element operatively connected to said connection part connected to said patient locale component, said data storage element comprising patient respiration parameter data; and a data read/write interface that is mechanically integrated in the removable/replaceable component, said data read/write interface for reading data from said data storage element when said patient locale component is connected to said removable/replaceable component by said position-determining connection, wherein said removable/replaceable component is a respirator and said patient locale component is a breathing tube or one or more components of a breathing tube system. - View Dependent Claims (15)
