Abstract: The present invention relates to a detection arrangement, comprising: an actuation element, which is designed to be moved back and forth between at least one first and one second position; a fastening portion, which is designed such that the actuation element can be brought into contact with a tube; a spring element, which interacts with the actuation element such that the spring element exerts a force on the actuation element in the direction of the second position; a retaining element, which interacts with the actuation element such that the actuation element can be moved into the first position by means of the retaining element; and a control element, which is designed to detect at least one parameter of the actuation element and/or of the retaining element and evaluate same so that the control element, on the basis of this evaluation, provides information about the condition of the detection arrangement.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a safeguarding module, a method, and a system for safeguarding an apparatus in the medical environment against an unauthorised operation of the apparatus, wherein the authorisation is dependent upon a linking event between two linking partners within the framework of an operation of the apparatus, wherein the apparatuses are connected via a network, and wherein one of the linking partners is an item which is used during the operation of the apparatus. The system comprises a plurality of apparatuses, wherein in each case an apparatus comprises a safeguarding module, comprising: a read-in interface for reading-in a first identifier and a second identifier; a processing unit which is designed to perform the safeguarding method; a memory for storing the calculated documentation value in a distributed ledger structure; and an interface to the network, via which the apparatuses exchange data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a communications device for non-electric communication between fluidically interconnected devices, the communications device being designed to be mounted in a position in a fluidic overall system formed by the fluidically interconnected devices and to receive and/or emit non-electric signals, in particular in the form of pressure or sound signals, the non-electric signals being transmitted via a line that fluidically interconnects the devices. The invention further relates to a method for non-electric communication between fluidically interconnected devices, the non-electric communication taking place preferably by means of pressure and/or sound signals via at least one line that fluidically interconnects the devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating dynamic indications relating to a modification of a route guidance. Original navigational directions are generated along an original route between a starting point and a destination. Due to modified traffic conditions, it can happen that an alternative route is preferable. Therefore an alternative route is provided which is different from the original route. According to the invention, when a vehicle is located at a current location on the original route, an alternative route to the destination is determined, comprising the location of the deviation between the original route and the alternative route. The method also comprises the generation of an acoustic indication relating to a modification of the route guidance in accordance with the zoom level of a map section, represented on a display, in respect to the location of the deviation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump, comprising a pump actuator (2) having at least one electroactive polymer, as well as at least one return element (8, 9) which returns a displacement element (5) of the pump after a pump stroke to a defined position. The invention further relates to a metering unit and to a medical apparatus comprising such a pump.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to disposables for a usage application of a consumable in a medical apparatus, comprising a security element to protect against tampering or misuse by unauthorised third parties, wherein the security element has a first identification marking which materially forms a first manufacturer's identification code; the first identification marking is connected in a non-detachable manner to the disposable and is configured for uniquely identifying the disposable, such as with regard to a product type and/or product usage property, and is partially or completely concealed with a concealing means which is detachable in a non-destructive-free manner. Furthermore, methods for marking a disposable, methods for enabling a disposable in an associated consumption device, and methods for system-control of both aforementioned methods are proposed.
