Abstract: The invention relates to portable rack (20) for holding infusion devices (2) for administering a medical fluid to a patient, comprising: a housing (21) with a multiplicity of slots (100) wherein the infusion devices (2) can be attached to said multiplicity of slots (100), a clamp (27) for mounting the rack (20) to a pole and/or a rail, and a handle (22) for manually transporting the rack (20).

Abstract: A rack for holding at least one medical device, the rack comprises a multiplicity of interfaces for connecting at least one medical device to the rack. Herein, a channel identification device is provided which is constituted to assign an identification code to each of the multiplicity of interfaces and is operable to provide, for a medical device connected with one of the multiplicity of interfaces, the identification code associated with the interface to the medical device or a control device connected to the medical device. In this way, a rack for holding at least one medical device is provided which in an easy manner allows for the identification of the topological position of a medical device on a rack or a system of racks.

Abstract: A locking system for locking a medical device at a holding structure, the medical device and the holding structure each provided with retaining structures which can cooperate with one another. The locking system includes a retaining lock for retaining the medical device when connected to the holding structure and being movable by a first manual control mechanism between a retaining position, in which the lock retains the medical device on the holding structure, and a free position, in which the lock does not retain the medical device on the holding structure. The locking system also includes a security lock which is movable by an automatic control device between active and inactive positions. The security lock, in the active position, prevents the medical device from being removed from the holding structure. In the inactive position, the security lock does not prevent the medical device from being removed from the holding structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical communication system, comprising at least one medical device (2a, 2b, 2c); a gateway (31) configured for establishing at least one wireless link to an access point; wherein the medical device (2a, 2b, 2c) comprises a unit (22a, 22b, 22c) for establishing a communication connection to the gateway (31) and a unit (21a, 21b, 21c) for establishing a direct wireless link to the access point, and wherein the medical device (2a, 2b, 2c) is configured to detect whether or not a communication connection to the gateway (3) is established and to set up a direct wireless communication link to the access point if a communication connection to the gateway (31) is not established, wherein the medical communication system is configured to set up a communication link between the medical device (2a, 2b, 2c) and the access point via the gateway (31) if a communication connection between the medical device (2a, 2b, 2c) and the gateway (31) is established.

Abstract: Method for configuring the operating mode of an optical detector, by recognition, following an emission in a first operating mode M1, by means of the receiving system. The latter then confirms the detector in the first operating mode or switches it over into a second operating mode M2 according to whether there is recognition of the first mode. Automatic validation or validation carried out by the operator confirms the recognized operating mode.

Abstract: Optical detector capable of operating in proximity mode or in proximity with background elimination mode.

Abstract: Optical detector with pulsed emission, particularly of the background suppression cell type, with means for rapid regulation of the emission current.
