Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring system for monitoring a third-party device, in particular a medical device, wherein the third-party device has a signal device for displaying the device status and/or relevant device properties and the monitoring device (2) is associated with the third-party device. Based upon this prior art, in the context of the invention monitoring of the third-party device should be possible and should also operate when the actual status indication of the monitored third-party device is defective. In this connection within the context of the monitoring system according to the invention it is not the status indication of the devices but rather a current proportional to the device status within the monitored third-party device is inductively sensed, evaluated and optionally an emergency signal is detected as a function of the result of the evaluation. The invention also relates to monitoring defibrillators.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for the situation-dependent authorized admission or access to any casing and the protection of the casing against misuse of its contents is disclosed. The locking mechanism comprises at least one rotatable locking member (1) and at least one latch member (2) which can be unlocked by the rotatable locking member (1). In case of an emergency the latch member (2) is accessible also through a breakable barrier (3) and can be manually moved after the barrier (3) has been irreversibly destroyed.
