Patent number: 8529485Abstract: The medical apparatus has lines that are connected to the vascular system of a patient. To ensure that an accidental escape of blood is identified, a camera is provided and is directed at the extracorporeal blood circuit of the patient. The image signals from the camera are processed in the sense that the color of blood and/or its arrangement in the image area in the camera image is determined, wherein the size of the recorded image area with the color of blood is also evaluated. In this way, an extracorporeal blood loss can be detected and signaled automatically.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: B. Braun Medizintechnologie GmbHInventors: Gerhard Bock, Stefan Moll, Carsten Hasberg

Patent number: 8159681Abstract: A measuring device for determining the relative offset between two components in a z-direction includes two measuring members. A first measuring member is affixable on a first component, and the second measuring member is affixable on a second component. Furthermore, the measuring device includes a sensor device for determining the relative position of the two measuring members. The first measuring member and the second measuring member are affixable on the first components at a rigid angle. At least one of the measuring members is able to be brought into adhesive contact with the first component or the second component. The measuring device includes support members for at least one measuring member so that the measuring member is able to assume a parking or an operating position. The measuring members are precisely and reproducibly aligned in space relative to each other in the parking position.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Dr. Johannes Heidenhain GmbHInventors: Gerhard Bock, Michael Hermann, Wolfgang Holzapfel, Karsten Saendig, Johannes Trautner

Patent number: 7801746Abstract: A dialysis station including several patient places each of which is provided with a dialyzer and a video terminal. In an internal data network, the video terminals are interlinked with each other and with a server including a data base. At a physician place, the treatment course can be followed for each patient place. If necessary, the physician may intervene and prescribe a new or changed medication appearing on the video terminal of the patient place. After having administered the medicine, the nurse acknowledges the administration of the medicine. The dialogue taking place between physician and nurse is documented in the scope of the treatment course.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2004Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: B.

Patent number: 7648476Abstract: A blood treatment apparatus includes a controller and a supervisor, which together monitor various sensors. The controller is equipped with a first alarm system and the supervisor is equipped with a second alarm system. To avoid competition between both alarm systems, the alarm system of the supervisor normally remains mute. A function monitoring device monitors the function of the first alarm system and signals a missing alarm to the supervisor. Only in this case will the second alarm system of the supervisor be activated.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2006Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: B.
