Method for verifying and/or monitoring the correct function of a supply device
First Claim
1. A method of checking and/or monitoring correct operation of an adding device of a medical apparatus that includes an extracorporeal circuit with which the adding device is connected such that an agent can be introduced into the extracorporeal circuit via the adding device, said method comprising:
- detecting in the extracorporeal circuit a characteristic oscillating signal course being generated by the adding device, said characteristic oscillating signal course being generated by superimposing a corresponding oscillating movement of the adding device, via which a fluid is alternately added to and withdrawn from the extracorporeal circuit, on a continuous movement of the adding device.

Abstract
A method of checking and/or monitoring the correct operation of an adding device of a medical apparatus includes detecting a characteristic signal course being generated by the adding device. The medical apparatus includes an extracorporeal circuit with which the adding device is connected such that an agent can be introduced into the extracorporeal circuit via the adding device. The pressure loss in the extracorporeal circuit is measured and evaluated for checking and/or monitoring the correct operation of the adding device. The adding device for this purpose generates an oscillating pressure course.

22. A medical apparatus configured to accommodate an extracorporeal circuit, with an adding device connectable with the extracorporeal circuit such that via the adding device an agent can be introduced into the extracorporeal circuit, said medical apparatus comprising:
a control element which actuates the adding device to generate a detectable characteristic oscillating signal course in the extracorporeal circuit, the characteristic oscillating signal course being generated by superimposing a corresponding oscillating movement of the adding device, via which a fluid is alternately added to and withdrawn from the extracorporeal circuit, on a continuous movement of the adding device. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. An adding device for addition of a medical fluid into a line, said adding device comprising:
-
a control element which actuates the adding device to generate a characteristic oscillating signal course in the line, the characteristic oscillating signal course being generated by superimposing a corresponding oscillating movement of the adding device, via which the medical fluid is alternately added to and withdrawn from the extracorporeal circuit, on a continuous movement of the adding device; and an element for detecting the characteristic oscillating signal course. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33)
