  • Patent number: 10799627
    Abstract: A method associated with a system having a medical device that consumes energy during operation and an additional energy consumer is directed to optimizing energy consumption. The method includes providing a treatment plan information, which predetermines a temporal sequence for using the medical device, providing interaction information, which predetermines an interaction between the use of the medical device and the additional energy consumer, and providing control information for actuating the additional energy consumer based on the treatment plan information and the interaction information, so as to optimize the energy consumption of the system.

  • Publication number: 20170220744
    Abstract: A method for handling treatment-related data on a patient in a clinic data management system (10), which is connected to a preparation station (14) for preparing for treatment of a patient and to a treatment station (15) for treatment of a patient is disclosed. A data reader (20) is wirelessly connectable to the preparation station (14) and to the treatment station (15). The data reader (20) is suitable for entering treatment-related data. The method comprises the following steps: connecting the data reader (20) to the preparation station (14), entering treatment-related data at the preparation station (14) using the data reader, checking (214) the treatment-related data entered at the preparation station, connecting the data reader to the treatment station, entering (210) treatment-related data at the treatment station using the data reader (20), using the treatment-related data for preparing for treatment of a patient at the treatment station.
