Abstract: Disclosed are a method and the device for updating a ventilation device that has a memory for an operating program. The memory is at least partially designed as a variable memory and is connected with an input device for a current operating program. The memory and the input device are connected to control devices, which have testing means for evaluating at least one code. At least one function of the apparatus is released only when the code agrees with a reference value.

Abstract: The method and the device are used for evaluating recorded measurement data. In particular, the use of the method and of the device makes it possible to detect the individual risk of a living being in respect of certain disease states and, if appropriate, to automatically evaluate correspondingly recognized risks in a device control. Measurement data in respect of heart-specific and/or circulation-specific parameters or respiration-specific parameters of a patient are preferably recorded and evaluated. The measurement data are determined over a defined period of time and the measurement data are evaluated taking into account the time information. A particularly effective implementation of the method can be based on pattern recognition in which individual patterns and/or sequence patterns are evaluated.

Abstract: The procedure and the apparatus serve for the control of a respirator device which is used for the supply of breathable gas to a patient. At least one sensor for the capture of the time-wise evolution of at least one respirator-treatment parameter is provided. The sensor can be arranged in the area of an air delivery which encompasses a respirator device as well as a connecting installation. The sensor is connected to an analyzer which carries out a pattern recognition and which is connected to a control for the modification of at least one respirator-treatment parameter. In order to implement the pattern recognition, one captures—at least at intervals—the time-wise evolution of at least one of the respirator-treatment parameters.

Abstract: The method and device serve to measure a proportion of constituents in blood. To this end, electromagnetic radiation of different radiation wavelengths is directed through a tissue (9) containing blood vessels (1). At least a portion of the radiation exiting the vessel is detected using sensors, and a corresponding measured value derived therefrom is fed to an evaluating device. The evaluating device (10) is connected to at least two sensors (2, 3, 4) and has an analyzer (11) for determining a dispersion of radiation by evaluating the intensity of the radiation received by the individual sensors. An individual calibration determination is carried out by evaluating the angle-dependent dispersion and can be drawn upon for conducting a pulse spectroscopic determination of concentrations of substances.
