Abstract: The invention proposes a medical system which comprises a central control unit which is set up to display at least one diagnostic measured value using a display element. The medical system also comprises at least one invasive unit, wherein the invasive unit has at least one invasive consumable. The invasive consumable is set up to invasively intervene in a tissue of a patient. The invasive unit has at least one contactlessly readable electronic identifier for storing at least one piece of information. The central control unit is set up to electronically read the at least one piece of information in the electronic identifier. The central control unit and the invasive unit are functionally independent of one another such that the respective function of the central control unit and of the invasive unit can be performed independently of the presence of the respective other unit.

Abstract: A portable medical system is provided for the purposes of analysis and/or medication, the system having at least one of a medical monitoring device, an analysis device and a medication device. The portable medical system comprises at least one display element comprising at least one organic light-emitting diode display. An optimization device can be provided that comprises a brightness sensor and is configured to optimize the brightness, contrast and/or power consumption of the at least one display element. Furthermore, a monitoring device can be provided which monitors the functionality of the display element. Faults in the display element can be detected in this way, and a corresponding warning can be output to a person using the portable medical system.

Abstract: The invention concerns a measuring device for the optical analysis of a diagnostic test element (10) comprising a light source (16), a photodetector (24) and a device (12) for positioning the test element (10) between the light source (16) and photodetector (24) where the light source (16) has one or several organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and the OLEDs (14) for a composite structure with an imaging optics (20) and/or a photodetector (24) by means of a support substrate.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a reflection-photometric analytical system having a measuring head comprising a source of radiation and a radiation detector for the reflection-photometric analysis of a target surface of a test object arranged at a distance from the measuring head and in particular of a test strip for body fluids such as urine or blood. A triangulation unit operating on the basis of optical triangulation is proposed for contact free checking of the distance in order to monitor or regulate the measuring distance.

Abstract: The invention concerns a reflection-photometric analytical system having a measuring head (10) comprising a source of radiation (36) and a radiation detector (26) for the reflection-photometric analysis of a target surface (12) of a test object (14) arranged at a distance from the measuring head (10) and in particular of a test strip for body fluids such as urine or blood. A triangulation unit (16) operating on the basis of optical triangulation is proposed for checking the distance without making contact in order to monitor or regulate the measuring distance.

Abstract: A reflector lamp (FIG. 2) to form a direct replacement for a sealed-beam ss reflector lamp (FIG. 1) uses a halogen incandescent lamp (14) fitted to terminal strips (16) of a ceramic base (12) located in the reflector. The reflector is made of thin-sheet aluminum - for example about 0.8 mm, the lamp being held in position by a weld connection of the lamp leads to contact strips riveted to the base, and retained against twisting by bent-over flanges (18).

Abstract: To prevent direct radiation from a halogen incandescent lamp-reflector un while permitting easy removal of the unit by grasping a holding element (8) for a radiation-preventing cap (6'), the holding element is made in the form of a flat sheet-metal strip (8) spanning the rim of the reflector (5). The flat sheet-metal element has a black surface finish and is secured to the reflector, for example by projecting flaps (10) engaging through slits (13) formed in the reflector, and twisted to secure the strip in position. The cap, likewise,is formed with slits (11, 11') engaged by projections (9, 12) and likewise held in position by twisting a central one (12) of the projections, the other projections preventing rotation of the cap with respect to the holding strip. The arrangement permits ready placement or exchange of the lamp from a fitting by grasping the holding strip, without thereby causing change in the optical characteristics of the halogen incandescent bulb (4)-reflector (5) combination.
