1. A process for the transfer of data between a first and a second analysis device, the process comprising:
- newly creating or modifying data in an internal memory medium of a first analysis device, and continuously and automatically storing the newly created or modified data in a redundant manner in a non-volatile removable storage medium during at least body fluid analysis operations without synchronization of data stored in the internal memory medium of the first analysis device;
importing the data redundantly stored on the non-volatile removable storage medium of the first analysis device into internal memory medium of a second analysis device, wherein;
the first and second analysis devices are medical/diagnostic devices configured to receive as input and analyze body fluids,the second analysis device is an equivalent device to the first analysis device,the non-volatile removable storage medium is either directly inserted in a slide-in-module of the first analysis device or connected to the first analysis device,the data redundantly stored on the non-volatile removable storage medium are imported into the internal memory medium of the second analysis device by physically transferring the non-volatile removable storage medium between the first and second analysis devices,the data redundantly stored on the non-volatile removable storage medium is at least configuration data of the first analysis device, andthe configuration data represents device settings that comprise language, IP address, display screen, country settings, energy management, network settings, calculated and displayed measuring units, measuring parameters used, measuring, calibration and quality control limits, quality measurement materials, security settings, audio settings, and/or planned automatic executions of analyzer functions and/or peripheral devices; and
subsequent to physically transferring the non-volatile removable storage medium between the first and second analysis devices, both configuring automatically the second analysis device to have the identical configuration to the first analysis device based on the imported data via a startup process and continuing automatically with at least the body fluid analysis operations previously conducted by the first analysis device on the second analysis device based on the imported data.

Abstract
A process for the management of data of an analysis device, which data serve for the operation of a further analysis device which is designed so as to be equivalent to the first analysis device, is disclosed. The analysis device newly creates or modifies data on an internal memory medium of the analysis device and the first analysis device, during its operation, continuously stores the newly created or modified data in a redundant manner in a non-volatile removable storage medium, with the removable storage medium being independent of the internal memory medium.

21. An analysis system comprising:
a pair of equivalent medical/diagnostic devices configured to receive as input and analyze body fluids, each medical/diagnostic device has an internal memory medium and a non-volatile removable storage medium, and each medical/diagnostic device is configured to; newly create or modify data in the internal memory medium, and continuously and automatically store the newly created or modified data in a redundant manner in the non-volatile removable storage medium as at least body fluid analysis operations are conducted by the medical/diagnostic device and without synchronization of data stored in the internal memory medium of the medical/diagnostic device; import the data redundantly stored on the non-volatile removable storage medium of the other medical/diagnostic device into internal memory medium upon insertion of the non-volatile removable storage medium into a slide-in-module of the first analysis device or connection of the non-volatile removable storage medium to the first analysis device by a physical transfer of the non-volatile removable storage medium between the first and second analysis devices; and subsequent to the physical transfer of the non-volatile removable storage medium between the first and second analysis devices, both configure automatically the second analysis device to have the identical configuration to the first analysis device based on the imported data via a startup process and continue automatically with the body fluid analysis operations previously conducted by the other medical/diagnostic device based on the imported data, said imported data being at least configuration data which represents device settings that comprise language, IP address, display screen, country settings, energy management, network settings, calculated and displayed measuring units, measuring parameters used, measuring, calibration and quality control limits, quality measurement materials, security settings, audio settings, and/or planned automatic executions of analyzer functions and/or peripheral devices.
