  • Patent number: 11413382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a protective-conductor connection to at least two fluid-conducting lines 11, 12, in particular to at least two fluid-conducting lines which are guided outwards from the interior of a housing 1 of a medico-technical device, in particular the housing of a blood treatment device. The circuit arrangement comprises a plurality of protection apparatuses 16A, 16B; 17A, 17B for electrical contacting which are designed such that an electrical connection to a fluid in the line can be produced using each protection apparatus for electrical contacting. In the circuit arrangement, at least two protection apparatuses 16A, 16B; 17A, 17B for electrical contacting are assigned to each fluid-conducting line 11, 12. As a result, two protective measures are taken for each fluid-conducting line.

  • Patent number: 9511182
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical treatment arrangement having at least three device parts, with the first device part being a device part which is not made for the treatment of a patient, with the second device part being made in conjunction with the third device part such that a treatment of a patient can be made with them, with the second device part being made movable relative to the first device part and relative to the third device part, and with provision furthermore being made that the first device part and the second device part and/or the second device part and the third device part being made such that energy and/or data can be unidirectionally or bidirectionally exchanged between them.

  • Patent number: 9188526
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the analysis of a liquid sample by way of light, comprising a transparent sample carrier, a movable upper mirror, which can be moved between a closed position, in which the mirror encloses a measurement space between itself and the sample carrier, and an open position, in which the sample carrier can be accessed so as to apply a sample, and a beam path, which guides incident measurement light between a light entrance into the measurement space and a light exit out of the measurement space from the sample carrier to the upper mirror reflecting the light. The beam path guides measurement light at an oblique angle of incidence through the sample carrier to the upper mirror.

  • Patent number: 6949754
    Abstract: An apparatus for selected measurement of, in particular, luminescent and/or fluorescent radiation has a plurality of measurement light paths (M1, M2, M3), which each have their own measuring devices optimized for the particular measurement mode. As a common device, a filter holder (5) is used, in which the detector and each of the measuring devices have access to each of the openings of the filter holder, and each of these openings can be equipped with an emissions filter that is expedient for the particular measurement mode involved. The result is an especially compact arrangement of a multipurpose measuring instrument with measurement properties that are largely equivalent to the measurement properties of special individual measuring instruments and that is also suitable in particular as an individual instrument for special luminescence measurements, such as BRET measurements.
