Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring infusions at a patient is provided with a dispensing unit (2) for the infusion solution, a labeling substance (3) supplied additionally into the infusion solution by means of a dispensing unit or a drug and with a sensor (5) responding specifically to a physical or chemical property of the labeling substance (3) or of the drug at the body of the patient (1), so that depending on the signal of the sensor (5), an alarm is triggered via an evaluating unit (6) when the signal of the sensor (5) does not detect the presence and/or the quantity of the labeling substance (3) or of the drug, especially after comparison with set values.

Abstract: The invention relates to a respiratory mask comprising a mask body (2), a sealing edge (3) and an inhalation device. Said device can be improved such that gas can be evacuated from the inhalation device without noise disturbance. The aim of the invention is achieved by virtue of the fact that the inhalation device comprises a plurality of lamella-type, partially overlapping membrane elements (8) which can be unfolded by the respiratory gas flow and which are arranged on the mask body (2).

Abstract: A device for guiding a person along a traveled path enables the wearer of the device to be guided back along the traveled path in an electronically supported manner even under conditions under which orientation is difficult. The device has a portable ejection means (2), in which a container (14) for accommodating a plurality of transponders (7) and an ejection mechanism (10), which is actuated by a control device (6) to eject a transponder (7) from the container (14), are present. A control unit (6) is prepared such as to actuate the ejection mechanism (10) at predetermined time intervals or at predetermined distances in space. A portable transmitter/receiver device (8) is designed to detect at least one of the transponders (7) dropped off and to generate a signal representative of the direction in which that transponder (7) is located. A portable display device (4) receives the direction signal of the transmitter/receiver means (8) and offers the wearer a visual and/or acoustic display of the direction.

Abstract: A mounting system for medical sensors is provided including an interface (2) for the electric contacting of a sensor (1). System components (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) for processing the sensor signals are provided as well as an electromagnetic transmission unit (9) with an antenna (12). The system components (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and the transmission unit (9) are supplied by a power source (10).

Abstract: A breathing mask with a mask body, which has a seal at its edge, which said seal is in contact with the user's face, wherein at least part of the seal that is in contact with the user's face is elastically deformable with spring characteristics ranging from linear to progressive and at least part of the seal that is in contact with the user's face is elastically deformable with degressive spring characteristic.

Abstract: An incubator for premature and newborn patients is provided with a heater (6), and a fresh air flow (13) fed in with oxygen metering, characterized in that the incubator has an electrically operated oxygen concentrator (12), and an oxygen sensor (5) for measuring the oxygen concentration in the incubator, wherein the oxygen metering device (7) meters the oxygen released by the oxygen concentrator (12) into the fresh air flow (13) fed into the incubator.
